With "Avengers: Endgame" coming out in a few days, it's vital that you try your best to avoid spoilers at all costs. You wouldn't want to ruin your experience, would you? Listen closely. I know a few tips and tricks to help you avoid those dastardly leaks and spoilers.

Buckle up, get your notepad, and get ready to be spoiler free.

Stay away from social media

This one is a tough one even for me. Staying away from all social media during the launch week of the movie is your best option. That means no Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and yes, even Snapchat. You can't take any chances. Obviously, some sites are more than dangerous than others, but when you least expect it you see either your friend or a complete stranger post something, and then you're sitting there rethinking your life choices. Trust me, it happened to me before.

Filter your search words

Now I don't know about other social media sites, but with Twitter, you can block certain words from coming up onto your page. Yesterday I blocked any words or names that have anything to do with "Endgame" for the whole launch week since I'm seeing it this weekend. Since then, I haven't seen anything related to it pop up onto my timeline. However, sometimes this system doesn't stop people from posting photos or videos, so use this method at your own risk. Don't blame me if it falls through for you.

Going day one

If you have the funds and the time, you could always go to the movie on release day. That way you don't have to worry about spoilers. The only responsibility that you have is that you don't spoil the movie for everybody else. If you don't do that, then you have nothing to worry about.

Man/woman up about it

In the end, if you don't wanna be cautious about seeing spoilers and you really don't care about them, then that's OK. If you do see it, it's just one part of the movie that you know, and that's all it is. It's not going to ruin the whole movie for you, and it shouldn't. Enjoy the movie for what it is and don't be afraid to have a good time.

And most of all, DON'T be the person who posts spoilers and ruins the movie for other people!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
