What Is Studio Ghibli And Why I Think Its Amazing
Disney

My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away these are just a few amazing movies to come out of the company known as Studio Ghibli. Ghibli is an animation studio based in Koganei, Japan and founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Yasuyoshi Tokuma, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki. Now hold on a moment! A lot people are turned off by the films and shows coming out of Japan, but don’t worry the Wonderful World known as Disney has taken these movies and translated them to English, so no subtitles needed!

These films coming out of Studio Ghibli are for people of all ages, just because it could be considered a “cartoon” does not mean its only for children. A few are aimed more towards kids like My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo while others like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away have a bit more serious undertones. The plots of these movies can be just incredible, if I told you blatantly “A normal girl is cursed to be an old lady by a fat Witch so she becomes a cleaning woman for a very handsome wizard who does nothing but complain. She yells at him to quit acting like a child and protect them from the oncoming war. So, he turns into a giant bird and goes to save the day. OH! Also, they live in a giant moving castle and the best character to come from this movie is a sassy fire demon!” you might just think I am going crazy. I swear though once you see it, how the plot flows and the characters just fit perfectly. The art style of these movies are beautiful, Japanese animation is very different from American and I am always impressed with it. I

am by no means an animation expert, I’m just someone who love animation and loves this studio so much. If you’re an adult and willing to give this studio and their movies a try, I’d suggest Spirited Away a movie that won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated film. If you have a family with young children give My Neighbor Totoro or Kiki’s Delivery Service a try. Studio Ghibli puts so much heart into their films that you can’t help but smile and go along with all the amazing adventures.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
