Being A Disney Addict
Akira Dumas

Disney is a beautiful thing that keeps all kids dreams alive. It’s a way of keeping the child within your soul, a way of never leaving the child in you behind. A lot of people enjoy saying “you're too old for Disney Akira,” but I don’t think anyone is ever too old for Disney. I think Disney is a way to take away the stressful life of adulting. It’s a blissful vacation into your own mind, to be a kid. I always thought the beauty of Disney wasn’t the idea of it being for kids but the beauty that it allows anyone to be a kid. All I ever want to do is go to Disney World or Disneyland not because I want to be a kid but because its stress free. Spending a day is Disney is stressful because everyone gets to be a kid. I mean unless you have a kid then your chance that kid, but even then it’s still a beautiful moment to watch your child meet their heroes that see on TV every day of their lives.

Disney has always been something as a child that taught me the value of never being the same; that being different is okay. Mulan taught me that women have the right to fight just as much as a man, and then Anna teaches us that true love doesn’t always come from a man but from the love of family. Disney has very many important lessons that teach young children the important of having a good heart and an open mind. So not only does it allows touching with our inner child and teaches our children to find the beauty with themselves no matter what anyone says.

Another reason why Disney just happens to be my favorite is because you’re never too old to learn a new lesson. Growing up my favorite Disney character was Peter Pan and yes for the reason you're thinking. I mean who wants to actually grow up. Growing up as a child was the one thing I wanted to do and now that I’m a college student, it’s the last thing I want to do. I want to fly off to Neverland and just be a kid forever. Peter Pan taught me to always keep the kid in me. That’s what I love about Disney so much no matter the age no matter the race. Disney is for everyone. It reminds you to never get rid of the child in you, for the child in you is important.

Life doesn’t always have to be serious; it doesn’t always have to be something to dread. Leaving that Disney child behind is not fun in a world that demands so much responsibility. So when I do have a bad day. I can always count on those Disney movies to make me feel like a princess and a kid again.

Who says life has to be non-enjoyable.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
