"Avengers: Endgame" is a movie worth watching. If you made it this far and haven't seen the movie I suggest you go. The movie is three hours long, but it doesn't seem like it. I watched the movie with rapt attention because I watched all the previous shows that I could. I suggest watching "Ant-Man and Wasp" before watching "Avengers: Endgame." You can watch the movie without watching all of the previous shows, but it is best to watch all of the Avengers movies before going. It helps it make sense.

Which is why in order to watch Avengers Endgame I made sure to get myself up to date with the Marvel series. I will admit that it wasn't until recently that I saw Avengers Infinity War. If you haven't seen Infinity War, you might want to stop reading. At the end of the movie, Thanos makes half of the world vanish. They turn into dust. My first thought when I watched it was that this was a story I had already seen.

I tell you, on that night two people will be in bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left." "Where Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where is the dead body where the vultures will gather." Luke 17:34-37

For those raised in the church, we have heard the story before. It is the story of end times. When people are taken from the earth, vanished with no trace.

"Avengers: Endgame" (Spoiler Alert) is the story of those left behind. The pain and the suffering they face because of the people they love being gone is hard to deal with. They will do anything they can to make things right again. In order to make things right, they do what they believe is right and bring everyone back.

It still brings the wrath of the Thanos when he finds up what they are up to. It becomes a war to end all wars. In it (Spoiler Alert) he tells them since they are not willing to give up half of their world that he will create a new universe. The difference with Thanos new world is that no one from the old earth would be around to enjoy it.

Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and first earth had passed away, Revelation 21:1

While one can find the parallels in the bible and the "Avengers: Endgame" down to the final battle, it does not make it a Bible story. It does open our eyes to what can be when the rapture does occur. It will not be easy for those left behind. There will be those who find a reason to say that it didn't happen. Perhaps they will even use Thanos as a reason for the disappearance of millions. The final battle to end all battles we knew was going to happen, and in the end, just as in the Bible, we know who wins.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
