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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
