10 Reasons Disney is Addicting

All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust.

10 Reasons Disney is Addicting

1. It's your childhood.

Being a woman, I am very sentimental. Disney is my childhood and I have no shame reliving this childhood once in a while or every other night. I am a lady and I will watch whatever I want to. We women also really like unrealistic love stories and talking animals.

2. The men.

Who doesn't want a prince? The Disney princes are the ultimate charmers and they're too cute to be fictional characters. Face it, Disney hooked us from the day we laid eyes on Prince Charming.

3. Cute talking animals...or aliens.

No matter how hard we pray or wish on stars, our animals just don't talk. Nor do they fly to Earth on a spaceship. This realization is one of the main reasons we turn to Disney.

4. Magic

Peter Pan taught us to have a little faith, trust, and pixie dust. We learned to believe in magic and in the fact that we can stay as young as we want to for as long as we want. As long as you just believe, you don't have to grow up.

5. The music.

Most Disney movies come packed full of singable music. If you're like me, you'll have them memorized by the third or fourth time you watch the movie and they'll most likely be on your iPod.

6. Relatable characters.

OK, OK, so not every single character is relatable. But I bet you can identify with at least one from every movie...even if it's an animal. As an avid reader and writer, characters are the best parts of any movie or book. It only takes me one time to say "that sounds just like me" to be hooked. Disney draws in its audience because they relate to everyone.

7. The importance of family

Whether there is a ton of family love in the movie or you're actually watching it with your family, this is one of Disney's main focuses. The ability to draw in a group of people that love each other is amazing. It doesn't matter how many shoes you throw at your siblings because the moment someone turns on Frozen, the love is evident.

8. #relationshipgoals

We know that men don't have grand balls to find us or face off again evil witches but Disney love is something that every little girl and even women look for. Don't even say you'll never have this type of love. Aim high and never lower your standards for any man that wouldn't travel through an eternal winter with you just to bring your sister home. Never mind that that will never be the case. He would do it, though, if it ever were.

9. Life advice

When life gets you down, Disney is always around to pick you back up. There is a lesson to be learned from every movie. Seriously, we're all a little mad because dreams are wishes our hearts make but as long as we just keep swimming, hakuna matata.

10. Epic theme park

If you're a Disney addict, you get the pleasure of being able to live out your dreams and addiction through rides and meet-and-greets. What other addictions allow you to have this kind of childish fun and get away with it? Go put on those Mickey Mouse ears and wear your Disney fanatic-pants proud.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
