Top 5 Things Finding Dory Taught Me (Without Spoilers)

Pixar

I, as a young adult, have been waiting for this movie to come out, since I was like 6 or 7. I actually find it funny that all the people, who I grew up with, looked like young Dory when we watched Finding Nemo.

I was expecting for this movie to just be a awful sequel because Finding Nemo was so well written. Little did I know that I would actually get quite emotional watching it. I think the whole idea that someone as kind and loving as Dory not being able to recall her family until the beginning of the movie is quite sad. Without spoiling details of the movie, Here is a list of the top 5 things that Finding Dory teaches its audience.

Top 5:

1. Family is not just blood, it's those around you who love you as their own no matter what.

2. Even though we have weaknesses, we should not let them control our lives. We should capitalize on our strengths. Dory's weakness is her memory, but her strength is her bravery and kindness.

3. Good friendships last a lifetime.

4. You always find your way back home.

5. Just Keep Swimming!

The voice of Dory, Ellen DeGeneres, said that Dory was what the world needed right now. With all the hate that is going on around us, she says that she wants to remind people to just keep swimming. Do not let things get to you. Just keep swimming and keep doing the great things that you are capable of. And the story of finding home does not only fit in the literal sense, but also in one's self. Accepting one for who they truly are is one of the greatest achievements an individual can achieve because they are no longer hiding a piece of them from everyone else. They are allowing for the full view of them to be seen. It is amazing how recently, I accepted that message and put it all out there for everyone to see. I will continue to push for others to accept who they truly are and for others to just keep swimming and not let the world get you down. Also, to be kind to one another.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
