A Disney+ Review, From a Disney Aficionado

It's finally here!

It seemed too good to be true! When Disney announced its' own streaming network with all of the classic shows and movies we all love, we thought it was too good to be true. Obviously, I had to sign up. The day that subscriptions were allowed, I signed up for an account with my family. So we did our waiting until yesterday, November 12th 2019. Finally, it is here!

Yesterday after classes, my boyfriend and I spent almost an hour and a half perusing the selections offered. So many classics from the vault, adventure packed Marvel movies, calming nature documentaries from National Geographic, and even Disney Channel shows and originals! If that wasn't good enough though, they also gave us a variety of DIsney+ originals (I'm most excited to watch What If and The World According to Jeff Goldblum).

Yes, this streaming service is extremely innovative and I am grateful for its invention, I also had a few complaints about the network. While they are minor and I will not be giving up my subscription any time soon because of it, I would like to see them fixed in the near future.

First, there are subtitles that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn off. I don't know if I am just dense or if this is just a setting that cannot be changed, but I cannot figure it out. I know opinions on subtitles are mixed but, as I am one of the people that prefers their shows without them, I need them off. I would like at least clarification from Disney on this feature. Preferably, I would like this problem fixed. But until then, if anyone knows how to turn them off and wants to help me, please let me know.

Additionally, they don't have ~all~ the movies. There are some Marvel movies that are still on Netflix and they didn't include every Disney Channel show (hello Sonny with a Chance?!). This is a super picky critique, I recognize this. I know that they are adding more content as time goes on. Let's just see what content gets added before I recognize this concern as a full on complaint.

All in all, I am very excited to keep watching (yes I said keep). There are a ton of movies from my childhood on this service and I am so excited to see what I haven't discovered yet.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
