The newest version of Beauty and the Beast featuring Emma Watson as "Belle" hit theaters March 17 and it's already considered a box office smash. There's no doubt that this classic is a tale as old as time; it continues to attract an audience no matter the generation and it will always be pleasing and iconic.

I went to see it at 11:00 in the morning, and although I successfully purchased tickets ahead of time, many people weren't so lucky and had to wait in line for the later shows. I've never attended a show at 11:00 in the morning, so I was shocked to see hoards of people in line waiting to see the re-imagined classic.

Besides the fact that the show was visually stunning and new music was incorporated into the 26-year-old Disney film, there are many very pleasing qualities of this movie that should be recognized. But instead of creating a review, I plan on going through the lessons that this Disney cartoon turned live-action film brought to life.

1. Family is everything.

Belle and her father have a great relationship; they only have each other. They both sacrifice so much for one another and really love each other no matter how rough the situation may be.

2. Love cannot be forced, nor can it be fought.

No matter how hard you try, you can never force somebody to love you. But on the other hand, you can't fight who you fall for. Sometimes it just happens, no matter how complicated or illogical it may seem.

3. Sometimes the right choice isn't always the easiest.

Everyone has choices to make in their lifetime, and we all know how it feels to be pulled in different directions, but sometimes the right choice is the one that's the hardest. Sometimes we have to leave the ones we love behind in order to let them find true happiness; sometimes we have to defy the popular opinion.

4. People are never as they seem.

No matter how cliche this may be, don't judge a book by its cover. A person can really surprise you once you get to know them.

5. The saddest tales can have the happiest of endings.

In this case a farm girl fell in love with a cursed prince... sounds pretty complicated to me. Both have their backstories and issues, but in the end their dark times helped them find the light.

6. Being odd doesn't mean you don't deserve to be happy.

Just because you look different or you live your life differently, you deserve to be happy. Everyone deserves their own happy ending. Life is about finding happiness and we all have that right naturally.

7. Life is a great adventure.


You can search for the most daring adventure, but in the end life itself is one big (and crazy) adventure, make sure you enjoy every moment.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
