Why I'm Not Ashamed that I Trampled Young Children to See Finding Dory

Looking back to 2003, we millennials were about seven or eight years old. Do you remember being so hype about going to see "Finding Nemo"? This movie was by far one of the best movies of our time. The colors were so pretty and vivid, the story line was entertaining, and all of the characters had crazy cool lines we still recite to this day. As millennials today, we use "Just Keep Swimming" to make it through our long days of "adulting." As small children, we may not have known our address, but you best believe we knew "P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney" like the back of our tiny little hands. Another awesome part about this movie was the cookies with the orange flavored filling. I had a stockpile of those! Years later, word on the street told us there was a sequel coming out called "Finding Dory," because we knew our little blue friend was driving the struggle bus with her short-term memory loss. Never have I ever been so pumped to see a children's movie in my life. At that moment, small children had no right to even see the movie until we had seen it first. Their ability to understand the greatness was zero. Unfortunately, theaters couldn't make that a rule so I may or may not have trampled a few children and this is why I am not ashamed.

In 2003, these pesky little nuggets weren't even thought of but if they were, they were the size of a pea. Meanwhile, we were glued to our television watching this movie five times a week (if not more). When word was received "Finding Dory" was coming out, the millennial world was revived and counting down the days until opening day. Yes, it's a children's movie. No, I do not care. These children have not traveled with the characters of "Finding Nemo" through the depths of the blue ocean on the emotional journey to find Nemo! Now Dory is lost and they think they can just hop on in on this emotional journey to find her? They simply do not get it. If they weren't old enough to appreciate the original movie, why on earth should they get to go see the new one before us? They shouldn't. This is why they were trampled and it's okay. I feel no shame. I'm sorry but I'm not sorry.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
