5 Reasons To Get Excited For Disney's 'Moana'
Disney Movies

So far, little is known about Disney's next big animated picture, "Moana." Despite it being scheduled to come out this November, there has only been one trailer and limited concept art and music. However, there is enough known about the upcoming film to start getting pumped for it.

1. The animation looks beautiful.

Oh. My. Gosh. The animation. It looks fantastic. Just amazing. What we have seen is pure beauty. The shots of the water are simply mesmerizing and pretty much every shot from the trailer could be a painting. If it is anything like Disney's previous ventures into the Polynesian Islands, it should be just amazing.

2. It is coming from Disney legends.

Directed and written by the same team that brought The Princess and the Frog, there is no way that either Moana's story will be anything other than amazing. The story of a young adventurer connecting with her family's past already seems interesting and fun. Moana should probably hold up to Disney's previous animated features.

3. Disney's first Polynesian princess.

Though we previously had the amazing Lilo and Nani, neither of them really fit the princess bill. But from what we can see, Moana looks like she'll fit right in with the other royal ladies. It will be a much needed change, since the last four additions to the princess lineup were white. Most of the lineup still remains white.

4. The cast.

"Moana" features newcomer, Auli'i Cravalho, who is adorable and looks to be very talented, and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, who is also extremely excited about his role. Of course, Disney favorite Alan Tudyk is also cast in the new film. We still don't know most of the cast, but those three alone are going to knock it out of the ballpark.

5. The music.

The music is was written by none other than Lin Manuel Miranda of "Hamilton" and "Star Wars" fame. If he wins an Oscar for his work on "Moana," he will have an EGOT: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony. So far, what we have heard of the music sounds great. He even lent his voice to the trailer and might be bringing along Hamilton co-star, Phillipa Soo.

Though Disney has released some less than good films in the past, they have always been at the forefront of cinema and animation, and "Moana" is going to be up there with many beloved Disney movies. A film about family and adventure, whats not to love? I predict that come November 2016, this movie will be blowing up your newsfeed. And even if it is not, it will still be a fantastic movie.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
