Forever Frozen In Our Hearts

A Criticism of Disney's 21st Century Gem

Forever Frozen In Our Hearts
Bustle

Frozen, a world that swept the entire world off its feet and into the icy waters of Arendell back in 2013, has little benefits within our world. Surpassing The Lion King in the number of views, which in itself is a crime to the generations of Disney lovers of the world, Frozen has taken millions of American dollars from the pockets of citizens, either by box office or various Frozen related goods. The franchise that dominated economy of the globe for two years and counting, from costumes to chairs to eating utensils and food products - Frozen has taken over the industries and minds of the world’s citizens. Thousands filled seats of Disney’s live action Cinderella in 2015, yet if you were to ask them, most would say it was to see the next Frozen animated-short, which would only be available before the movie. A clever ploy by Disney, yet again, thousands of dollars were funneled back into this franchise none the less. The inability to call a French Braid by its appointed name and rather as an “Elsa braid”, the excessive number of little children dressed up for Halloween in the same costume, stifling creativity, and hours perched in front of a screen, memorizing line after line of this new Disney sensation is what this movie has caused.

With the overly catchy songs within this one-hundred-and-two minute long film can cause major annoyance, or even possibly threaten your life when friends become overly annoyed with your incessant singing. The songs aren’t that well preformed; the population needs to just let it go. The movie instills the desires to eat excessive amounts of chocolate, which can lead to numerous health conditions including weight gain and Type 2 diabetes in young children, as well as the desire to build a snowman, as the character Olaf is loved by many. When living in the sub tropic climate that is Florida, that desire is transformed into an impossibility, which leads to longing and possible obsessive psychological disorders that can follow these young children throughout their lives.

When children are subjected to this form of “entertainment,” they can easily be distracted from the world in which they live in. Rather than reading, in which was the original escape from the world and held literary benefits, as well as increased potential of brain usage and application within an educational setting, these children become overly occupied with the desire to be these characters. Children would rather live in Arendell than in their own world, wishing for reindeer as pets rather than their dogs, snowmen as friends rather than humans, which creates a veil over their young and inquiring eyes to the beauty and phenomena that is outside the walls of their residence.

Frozen is a created world that has begun to take over our world, and has been doing so for years. Impacting children and adults alike, this work of Disney is the equivalent to a stain on the white blouse that is the planet Earth. Altering desires, conceptions of reality, and lowering faith in the male gender after the occurrence with Hans of the Southern Isles, Frozen holds a power over the masses that should it should not. This creation that so many claim to be a wondrously brilliant and empowering is, in reality, the equivalent to Spongebob’s driving on the television show, hazardous and deadly to not only the viewer, but many more bystanders within life. Time is better spent in life doing thousands of other things rather than watching Frozen. Even feeding the ducks is a far better supplement of time than watching two shrill-voiced sisters come to realize the solution to all their problems is, as in thousands of other movies, love.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
