I have been waiting since May 4, 2012 for the Avengers to finally fight a worthy adversary, and after seeing “Avengers: Infinity War,” I can happily say that the wait is now over. Thanos is the villain that all Marvel fans have been waiting for, and I guarantee that he does not disappoint.

After watching the Avengers deal with opponents that clearly were not going to win, (like Loki, and Ultron), the Avengers movies were beginning to disappoint me. After all, Thor could easily defeat Loki by himself, so having a whole movie where he is the main super villain was kind of a letdown. Then I had to watch Ultron’s robot body get destroyed constantly, while the Avengers made it seem like they were going to lose to him, when in actuality, we all knew that Ultron did not stand a chance.

And then, finally, I saw the “Avengers: Infinity War” trailer. Now of course, I knew that from the comics that Thanos was a super powerful villain, but I was not sure how strong he would be in the actual film. The Marvel films do follow the comics in some aspects, but they are also drastically different from them. So basically, I was nervous about “Infinity War.”

However, when I entered the theater and the movie started, my nerves immediately disappeared because of what appeared on the screen. Right at the beginning of the movie, we see Thanos showing his dominance by easily defeating Thor and the Hulk without breaking a sweat. In all of the Marvel films to date, we have never seen a villain defeat the Hulk and Thanos beats him up so badly, that the Hulk is afraid to fight for the rest of the film! This was incredible to witness, but it wasn’t even the most shocking moment in the film.

A few seconds later, Thanos kills Loki, Heimdall, all of Thor’s people, and we are led to believe that he killed Thor as well (of course we all know that he did not kill Thor because it was the beginning of the movie). This is a big deal, and it is something that no other Marvel villain has ever done before. Thanos means business.

Of course, even though he does wreak havoc at the beginning of the film, how often do we see a super villain look incredibly strong in the opening scenes of a film, but then look incredibly weak towards the end? This happens all too often. I will admit that I was concerned that this might happen to Thanos by the end of the film, but thankfully I was wrong. He continued to create more chaos throughout the world for the rest of the film, and believe it or not, he actually ends up winning!

Thanos’ goal is to collect all of the Infinity stones so that he can easily wipe out half of the world’s population. He wants to do this because he believes that the world is out of balance and it is overpopulated. By the end of the film, Thanos collects all of the stones, and he is able to accomplish the goal that he set out to do. Thanos wins! After using the Infinity stones, the audience is forced to watch many of our beloved heroes perish into thin air. Heroes like T’Challa, Spider-Man, Winter Soldier (whether or not you consider him to be a hero is debatable), Scarlet Witch, and many more heroes are gone. I did not expect this to happen at all while watching this movie. It left me feeling sad, shocked, confused, amazed, and simply dumbfounded. I know that I wanted a strong villain to appear in Avengers, and I definitely got my wish. Now, in the next Avengers film, I already know that this is going to be the toughest fight that the Avengers have ever faced. I am already looking forward to it and I probably have to wait over a year before it even hits theaters.

Even though I was left emotionally tormented by the end of “Infinity War,” I am happy that Marvel has finally created a fierce and menacing villain, because it was about time for the Avengers to get their butts kicked.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
