Thank You, Marvel

Would this be too Tony Stark of me to talk at the end of a story? If it is, then I am perfectly okay with that. Where do I even begin though? I guess I could start from the beginning.

I was 8 years old when I watched "Iron Man" and I instantly fell in love with Tony Stark. He will always be my favorite superhero in the entire universe (fictionally and realistically) because his egotistical personality is what made him who he was. Jon Favreau, thank you for believing in Robert Downey, Jr. enough to fight for him to play Tony Stark. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role better than he did.

I was around 11 years old when "Captain America: The First Avenger" premiered and I recognized one person in the entire movie and that was Sebastian Stan ("Gossip Girl" fans, wya?), so naturally, Bucky was my favorite, but Steve grew on me. His willingness to always want to help others was something that I admired.

Fun fact about Thor. I thought he was played by Liam Hemsworth because I didn't know there were three Hemsworth brothers. To start, Thor was my least favorite. He was arrogant and selfish and quite rude, but by the end of the first movie, I came to love him. I mean, who breaks into a S.H.I.E.L.D station to steal a hammer (unsuccessfully) and then when you get bailed out, you swipe a journal that was stolen from the girl who's been giving you refuge since she crashed her car into you after you crashed into Earth? Thor, that's who. Plus, he's got some nice eyes to look into.

I've been with the MCU since the very beginning, so I grew alongside the characters. 22 movies and a decade later and I'm still here; I'll always be here. Through all the Easter eggs, deaths, new characters, complex storylines, tears of joy, anger, and sadness, and the endless jokes that make us laugh (and cry from laughing so hard), I think I can speak for everyone who has ever watched these films when I say thank you.

Thank you Robert Downey, Jr.

Thank you Chris Evans.

Thank you Scarlett Johansson.

Thank you Chris Hemsworth.

Thank you Mark Ruffalo.

Thank you Jeremy Renner.

Thank you Joe and Anthony Russo.

Thank you Kevin Feige.

Thank you Stan Lee.

Thank you Marvel.

I love you 3000.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
