6 Moments You Love If You Love "Spirit"

"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron." The courageous horse who made his debut on the big screen in 2002 and changed the lives of countless children forever. From his bravery to the thrilling imagery and action, this was one of my biggest childhood obsessions. I'm not ashamed to say that my friends and I are still not rid of what I like to call "Spirit fever." We watched the movie just a few days ago and loved it just as much, if not more, than we did so many years ago.

1. You get chills when you hear the intro music.

You might even feel like you can conquer the entire world, like the eagle who is Spirit's friend and is so free that you're jealous of him throughout the entire movie.

2. You get chills when you hear any of the music, for that matter.

Bryan Adam and Hans Zimmer are literal angels. The movie wouldn't be half of what it is without that glorious soundtrack. Since the horses don't talk, and the people have a significantly small amount of dialogue, the music plays a pivotal role in the emotions the audience experiences throughout the movie. The wonder of the music might just inspire your friend to order the soundtrack off of Amazon at 2 a.m. after watching the movie, and that might just inspire you to order the same soundtrack the very next day. Not like I'm speaking from recent experience or anything.

3. Rain was somehow the most beautiful thing you had ever seen. It didn't matter that she was a horse. Her pink eye-shadow was on fleek.

And your know Spirit agreed. Do you see how he looks at her? Soulmates.

4. "Get Off of my Back" was your jam, and you felt like you could conquer the world while listening to it.

As tiny children across the country watched this movie, they couldn't help but feel that Spirit was inspiring them to stand up to their own enemies.

5. In contrast, you felt like your entire world was crashing down when those disgusting men destroyed Little Creek's village and made Rain nearly die.

Watching her lay on the bank of that waterfall, and then watching Spirit get dragged away from her, was like watching your best friend die, but worse.

You felt like your whole life was going to end if Rain didn't survive, and the rest of the movie was filled with tension because her well-being was completely unknown. One thing that was for sure was that Spirit loved her, and Little Creek did too. And somehow you now did, whether you meant to or not. She has that effect.

6. THE scene.

You know what I'm talking about. The pivotal moment when Spirit jumps to the other side of the cliff to get away from the soldiers, and that other side means freedom for him and for Little Creek. They make it back to the Indian camp, and then Rain comes out of the fog, and she's alive. All of your fears are dispelled, and Spirit continues to fill you with inspiration and a desire for adventure.

"And so I grew from colt to stallion, as wild and as reckless as thunder over the land. Racing with the eagle, soaring with the wind. Flying? There were times I believed I could." -"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron."

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.
