Disney Moves

I love Disney movies. I have always loved them, and I always will. But this weekend all I wanted to do was curl up with my blanket and some hot chocolate from the K-Dit, and watch The Lion King, or Toy Story, or The Land Before Time. But NO! I'm a college student who doesn't get enough sleep as it is (ok, I do sleep a lot, but I need it!) and don't have time for it. But what I really love about Disney movies is the simplicity of the intentions, and the message they really send. For example, The Lion King. What's the point of the story? Good conquers evil. Plain and simple. But what about Cinderella? I get from that movie that a girl can follow her dreams, no matter what kind of background or person she is. She went from the lowest lows to a princess! But the main reason I love Cinderella (and Beauty and the Beast, and Aladin, and Sleeping Beauty, and any story that has a princess) is that there is always a prince charming waiting for them who is their soul mate. In the real world, this never happens. I ran across a quote on Facebook (yes, I am a Facebook creeper), and it said something like: "Disney movies give girls hope everywhere that there is a prince charming waiting for them." I know I just got that wrong, but I don't feel like looking it up. You get the point. But anyway, it was just meaning that no matter who you are, there is always someone out there who you can be with the rest of your life who matches you perfectly. Well, I want to believe that, and I might believe it one day, but right now, I don't. I feel that a girl can spend a whole life searching, but maybe because she didn't go to the store one day because she was feeling sick she won't meet that person. I just feel as a little girl, we believe that there is always a prince out there with all our heart, but when we grow up, we face the truth. And right now, the truth is my prince is still out there somewhere, waiting...

Homework!!

Oh golly, I feel as if I haven't had time to breathe the last week! I know I can't complain since I was not in Christmas With Wartburg, but still! I had to write 2 papers this week, do 2 projects, do misc homework, and maintain sleep. But overall, I had a nice relaxing weekend. Most people would say I was a loner, but I had some deep talks with some great people, so it worked out for the best. One of the things that I don't like about being at college is that I don't know what some people's families are like. I mean, I sat down and talked to someone for 4 hours about her life at home, and it was great! It was great to see where someone comes from, and not just who they are as a person here. I mean, it is important and everything to see the person as who they are, but I found out so many things that I didn't know before. She's from Canada for cryin' out loud! I think that is pretty cool in my book.. :). Wow, this is a really random blog about many random things..might as well continue with the randomness.

So I talked to someone else about her life and what was happening back home. She described many situations that applied to my life as well, and I felt really connected to her for the first time since coming here. We talked about life here as well, and situations between "friends" of ours. I put that in quotes because they have been complete jerkfaces to her the last month, and they still are! I mean, if you don't talk to someone for a month, how can you say negative things about that person? I just feel they are jumping to conclusions without finding out about her. This isn't the first time she has came to me with a problem, and I am really happy she feels comfortable enough with me to be that open with me. And I know she will listen to me if I have any problems (I have already had a few, and she is a great listener). She understands if I have any problems, and it's nice to have someone to "girl talk" with, besides a person who is 2 hours away who doesn't know anyone I am talking about.
