The action-packed movie will include favorites like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk.

Etsy
Etsy, a website featuring unique goods, is our generation's equivalent to a craft fair or antique store. It's also a great source for original items Domers can use to spruce up dorm rooms. A quick search for 'Notre Dame' brings up cool paintings, prints, hair bows, shirts, picture frames and, for some reason, a kaleidoscope on top of the Eiffel Tower. If you're craft-minded yourself, it is also a perfect place to sell your wares.
