When you think of Disney, what do you think of? The parks, the various video games that have aired like Disney Infinity or Epic Mickey or your favorite prince or prince? How about the movies? Disney movies like Cinderella, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid have entertained children of all ages for ages. Whether you are 6, 17 or 30, Disney movies never fail to bring back those childhood memories. However, there are some movies that most people seem to forget.

1. The Black Cauldron

I remember watching this 1985 movie not even two years ago but let me say, it was EXCELLENT! The Black Cauldron does reveal the darker side of Disney's usually uplifting themes, not to mention the freaky Horned King who I honestly think was one of the creepiest villains, but still. With loveable characters including misfit pig keeper Taran, feisty princess Eilonwy and huggable Gurgi, a nefarious plot and a dash of romance, this old school Disney movie is one I'd definitely suggest watching. Just maybe with the lights on!

2. The Rescuers Down Under

This high-flying adventure is set in the outbacks of Australia and brings back our favorite Rescuers from RAS, Bernard and Miss Bianca. Honestly, I don't know why this one has been forgotten but apparently, Disney didn't do well with sequels which, unfortunately, included this one. I remember watching this movie on Netflix one night with my siblings and I can unanimously announce that we all loved it! So (if it's still on Netflix) pop some popcorn and enjoy a double feature.

3. The Great Mouse Detective

I unfortunately never had the pleasure of seeing this one, but I still feel like it deserves some recognition. This fun detective movie once again goes outside Disney's typical themes but despite what you would think, this one did really well critic-wise. "Then why is it on the forgotten list?" you may ask. Well, you guess is as good as mine!

4. Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Another movie I watched on Netflix, I also thoroughly enjoyed Disney take on the tale of the lost city of Atlantis. Reviews say that despite the breathtaking animation, this movie fell short on decent and memorable characters. I respectfully disagree. I think one of the best parts about this movie was the characters, especially the kick-ass female leads including a protective princess, quirky mechanic and greedy villain. So regardless of what the critics say, I'd definitely recommend this one

And last but most certainly not least....

5. Treasure Planet!

Saved the best for last! Remember this little guy? Treasure Planet is a forgotten Disney movie that I can ramble on and on about how it was INCREDIBLE, but unfortunately, I can't with the limited space or time I have. This sci-fi adaption of the classic Treasure Island completes my list with adorable and trouble-maker sidekick Morph, sarcastic Jim Hawkins, cyborg pirate Mr. Arrow not to mention an amazing soundtrack including a song by John Rzeznik/The Goo Goo Dolls. You a Disney fan with nothing to on a rainy Friday night? Watch this movie!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
