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.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
