2018 became a memorable year loaded with trips, comic book conventions, and everlasting memories. I wanted to write my recap post a little bit earlier before time got away from me and I forgot to publish it. 2018 was a fantastic year.

Movies I saw in Theaters:

• Black Panther *twice*
• Avengers Infinity War 
• Solo: A Star Wars Adventure
• Antman & the Wasp 
• Mission Impossible Fallout 
• The Spy Who Dumped Me 
• Venom 
• Crimes of Grindelwald 
• Robin Hood 
• Aquaman 

My Favorite Movie of 2018: This is a tough call, but I’m going to have to say it’s a tie between Aquaman and Black Panther. 

TV Shows I Watched:

• Riverdale Season #2
• Rewatching Jessica Jones Season #1 
• Jessica Jones Season #2 
• Parks and Recreation 
• Mindhunter 
• Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan 
• Luke Cage Season #2 
• Iron Fist Season #2
• The Bodyguard 
• DC’s Titans 

My Favorite TV Show in 2018: I’m indecisive which led to me picking Bodyguard and Parks & Recreation. Bodyguard is only six episodes long which meant I finished it in a day. Richard Madden is an excellent actor. Parks & Recreation has easily become one of my all-time favorite TV shows which is surprising considering I didn’t think I would like the show initially. Shout out to the boyfriend for convincing me to watch this with him.

 Video Games I Played:

• Lego Marvel Superheroes 
• Uncharted Drake’s Fortune 
• Uncharted #2 Among Thieves 
• Uncharted #3 Drake’s Deception 
• Marvel’s Spider-Man + the DLC

My Favorite Video Game of 2018: Marvel’s Spider-Man is the best game in 2018. I probably will end up playing through the campaign again in 2019.

Podcast I Couldn’t Stop Listening To:

Anna Faris’s Unqualified Podcast was recommended to me by my best friend. In each episode, Anna interviews a celebrity of sorts and then they take questions from fans. I prefer the questions from fans because it’s interesting hearing their life problems and hearing Anna Faris’s advice. This is the one podcast I will make sure I’m caught up on.

Catchiest Song in 2018:

I Like It by Cardi B, Bad Bunny & J Balvin has been on repeat every time I work out. Anytime this song comes through my headphones, I work out harder with whatever I’m doing.

Conventions Attended in 2018:

4. (Planet Comicon, CONvergence, Spring MSP Comicon and Fall MSP Comicon).

Personal Memories:

Top Three Memories in 2018:

Adopting Athena:

I’m so lucky to have this kitty in my apartment. If you follow me on Instagram, I post a cat picture often. I can’t help it, she’s too adorable. Cats are easy to take care of and it’s nice to come home from work and have Athena wait for me by the door.

Driving to Boston:

My family has started a tradition of going on one major family vacation every year. This year we drove to Boston. Boston is a city I had always wanted to visit and I wasn’t disappointed. Its colonial history combined with the East Coast environment led me to fall in love with the city.

Flying to the Big Apple

I will say, that Boston has nothing on NYC. New York City was ginormous but captivating. Central Park was much bigger than I had expected it would be. Getting lost in the subway is something I will never forget, but it taught me how to navigate around. If I were to visit NYC again, I would do a lot better with knowing where to go.

My Resolution for 2019:

Spend lots of money at Universal Studios in Orlando!
