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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
