7 Reasons Why Anime is for Everyone

Many people still have the misconception that anime are cartoons for kids, otaku's, or even perverts. I'm here to say that is dead wrong! Anime is for everyone. We all can take something out of it.

1. Life Lessons/Values

Such as the law of equivalent exchange. To obtain something, we must lose something of equal value.

We learn that we should be the change we want to see in the world.

And we also learn the power of friendships and their value.

2. Art/Scenery

Everyone appreciates good artwork. If that isn't beautiful, I don't know what is.

3. There's an anime for everyone

The list goes on and on. You could select your anime based on genre, demographics, and how long or short of a series you'd like to watch. There's literally something for everyone.

4. Surprises

Plenty of people think that once you've seen, read, or watched a "sufficient" amount of stories, there's not much else out there that could surprise you. Again, you are wrong. Especially when it comes to anime. There's enough anime out there to feed your imagination!

5. Exploration of Cultures

In Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, we had an integration and bond between the Amestrians, Ishvalans, and Xingese people when fighting the villain. After years of conflict and war, their cooperation with each other was a pretty big deal!

6. Meet "new" people

Obviously, it's not possible to list all of the possible personalities you can encounter in anime. There are way too many. The point, however, is to show the types of people in an anime that resemble those out there in the real world. On that note, anime definitely brings people together in the real world!

7. Lastly, animes interpret realistic concepts in an unrealistic way

Such as the ishvalan war extermination. Most of the soldiers felt immediate remorse for slaughtering the innocent because of an order from the higher ups. Their deaths went into the creation of the philosophers stone. Though the philosophers stone doesn't exist in reality, war certainly does.

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.
