I Am SO Upset Over 'Infinity War,' But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Highly Recommend It

WARNING: "INFINITY WAR" SPOILERS AHEAD!

I will not try to pass as someone who has researched all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and found all mentions of the infinity stones or a connection to the Universal war that was upcoming.

I had wanted to see the movie since I heard word about it coming out. I hadn't even seen "Avengers: Age of Ultron" yet, but was still so excited to see more of my favorite superheroes all together, such as more screen time for Doctor Strange and my all time favorite, Tom Holland as Spider-Man.

Austin and I needed a date night so I suggested we go out to dinner and finally watch "Infinity War." I dressed up and we set out to see the climax of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I was so excited. I somehow managed to not read or hear any spoilers from the movie.

Austin and I were almost the only people in the theater because it had been a week after it had premiered. That was perfect so we could ask each other questions and mention facts from the Marvel movies the other hadn't seen.

I am incredibly upset over the ending of "Infinity War." Austin will tell you I cried and was angry and whined for about an hour after it ended. I was mostly petty because they killed off my baby, Spider-Man. I was so upset that it didn't end like all the other "Avengers" movie where the resolution was at the end tied up like a bow. I would always just sigh in relief when they ended and the 'villain' or situation was subdued and everyone was saved.

When Scarlett Witch managed to destroy the Mind Stone I breathed a sigh of relief. When Thor struck Thanos with the Axe, I was so happy. I was like this is the ending I was waiting for. Suspense, last minute save like always, perfect.

But, NO! When Thanos looked at Thor and said "You should have aimed for the head" and snapped his fingers, I gasped. I was so upset. I was sobbing as I watched all of my favorite characters vanish in the unbiased genocide. The improv death scene of Spider-Man made me clutch my chest. I almost had a panic attack.

This was not how it was supposed to end!

I guess it was a smart director move to not end this climax as every other Avenger movie and also it is how it ended in the original comic books. But it was not what I was expecting. I was expecting all of the heroes to band together, all of them together on earth, to defeat Thanos. They did band together, but all over the universe, and not communicating about how to defeat him.

Although I whined and sobbed after the ending and was so angry for a good two days after watching it, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Marvel Universe. The movie itself is amazing with all the different worlds colliding into one huge cross-over. Go see "Infinity War" if you haven't, although I hope if you're reading this you already have and agree with me.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
