It's not quite the Happiest Place On Earth, but close enough.

There is nothing quite as sacred as a Disney movie. There are so many genres to choose from! The classics, the live actions, the non-princess movies...the list goes on. And life as a Lope at Grand Canyon University? While it might not be the Happiest Place on Earth, it's still pretty magical. So here are all the ways that Disney movies describe life at Grand Canyon University.

Not citing all your sources... and then having to submit via TurnItIn

Hopefully, they won't notice you used part of an old paper...

When that one person in your CLC group doesn't do their work

I see you, Brenda!

Walking to meet a friend for lunch in August

No, I don't want to walk from Agave to Lopes Way. But for you, I'll make an exception.

Thinking you know what you got yourself into when you show up for Welcome Week

The crazy volunteers, the Welcome Week activities, the free t-shirts-- there's nothing quite like GCU Welcome Week.

Going to Chick-Fil-A even though you have like $4 left on your dining dollars

Why must everything be so expensive?

"You have to read the textbook for this course"

Professors have such high expectations of us!

When you want to do things but it's Sunday night

15 essays, 3 presentations, a CLC, and 3 hours in which to do it all!

Trying to wake up for a 7 a.m.

I'm not actually sure why 7 AM classes are an option...

When you're friends with a science major

Wait, you have how many exams this week?

Going to chapel like

Great chapel speakers are the perfect way to start the week.

That one friend who's working towards her Mrs. degree

#RingBySpring

Watching your friends get ready for church on Sunday morning

It really can be a magical thing to witness.

When LoudCloud decides to not work

Sunday nights are actually the worst.

"No, you can't keep your dog in your dorm room"

Not even if I dress him up like a turtle???

Trying to master the worship leader look... and failing

Nobody wears it quite like the real worship leaders.

Because it's a Christian university

No shame in that game!

When someone says they don't go to chapel or The Gathering

I bet you also don't go to life group!

Sometimes, the promise of Heaven is too real

"Jesus take me now!"

Playing against New Mexico State

Black-out game, white-out game, intimidation is key!

And finally... what GCU looks like when you're coming home

The experience of being a Lope is nothing short of magical, and there's no place I'd rather be... Well, except maybe Disneyland.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
