'Supergirl' Kills Sanvers

Warning: Spoilers!

Supergirl's latest episode was pretty much a big punch in the gut to LGBTQ viewers when the writers ended the only queer relationship on the show.

Up until this heartbreaking episode, Maggie Sawyer and Alex Danvers, also known as Sanvers, were an adorable, badass lesbian couple who fought intergalactic crime together. They were cute and in love and their stories were affirming to many queer ladies.

Only a few episodes before, the two were planning their wedding, which would have been amazing to see, but their relationship quickly ended after having a rather abrupt disagreement about having kids.

I say abrupt because you would think they would have discussed whether or not they wanted to have kids before they got engaged or even before the bridal shower. But no, all of a sudden Alex says she desperately wants to have kids and Maggie has no interest in being a mother, so now Sanvers is no more.

I completely understand that having or not having kids is something both people in the relationship should be on board with, and I understand the importance of that to some people, but I just don't think it was necessarily written and portrayed very well.

It felt rushed and choppy, almost as if they were just trying to get Maggie out of the picture, but I know they're not real people and all couples have disagreements or break up, but I just wanted more for them, given the very little LGBTQ representation we currently have on TV and in movies.

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.

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.
