A Quarantine Reflection At The One Year Mark Of The Endgame

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for "Avengers: Endgame."

The 25th of April. A day that every Avengers fan will remember as one of the most memorable experiences of the entire saga. Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" was released last year and became the highest-grossing film of the year at an overwhelming $858,373,000. Incredible, right?

In the past 10 years, I have grown up a Marvel fan. Grown up watching the Avengers saga so being able to watch the bittersweet ending wrapped up into one singular movie, was quite emotional. A year ago, I packed up tissues and a bag of skittles, drove to the theater, eager to watch what I would remember as the best movie of 2019. Three hours later. I was WRECKED. Emotionally destroyed. I don't think I had ever sobbed more in a movie theater. Thankfully, I was surrounded by an entire theater that was also as emotional as I was, so nobody took note. Not only did it make me cry but it had me at the edge of my seat during the most intense scenes. This movie had lived up to all of my expectations of the finale and was one that I would remember. The entirety of this movie hit all of them for me: the humor, the intensity, the visual effects, the plot, the score. Amazing. Don't agree with me? Watch it again.

During this time of quarantine, I have been trying to find things to keep me busy away from homework so of course, I headed to Disney+. Technology has been so good to me in this time of isolation by keeping me updated with the news, letting me finish school assignments from the comfort of my home, and also constantly keeping me entertained during the day when I'm feeling bored. To keep it even more interesting, I have been face-timing my boyfriend while watching movies so we can still have commentary like we are in the same room. Since the beginning of this quarantine, we have been re-watching all of the movies in the Marvel cinematic universe to keep busy, including "Avengers: Endgame". Let me tell you, a year later, this movie is still as incredible and just as emotional as it was watching it for the very first time. I still feel anxious watching the final battle, my heart swells when Spiderman and Iron Man reunite, I get chills when Captain America finally lifts Mjolner, and tears stream down my face when Iron Man says goodbye. So, during quarantine, if you find yourself with three hours to spare, head on over to Disney+ and watch a movie that will change your life even if it's for the 20th time.

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.
