"The Last Unicorn," will always be one of my most favorite movies. It was one of my sister's favorites and soon became mine when my grandma sat me down one day to watch it. The animation, language, and music is truly amazing and beautiful. I will always cherish this movie for the memories it left me with.

1. “There has never been a time without unicorns. We live forever! We are as old as the sky, old as the moon! We can be hunted, trapped; we can even be killed if we leave our forests, but we do not vanish. Am I truly the last?” – Unicorn.

2. “There are no happy endings because nothing ends.” – Schmendrick the Magician.

3. “Because I be, what I be. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, mum, but I be a cat. And no cat anywhere, ever gave anyone a straight answer.” – The Cat.

4. “I know you! I almost knew you as soon as I saw you on the road coming to my door. Since then, there is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you! A pace, a glance, a turn of the head, the flash of your throat as you breathe… even your way of standing perfectly still – they were all my spies!” – King Haggard.

5. “I can never regret. I can feel sorrow, but it’s not the same thing.” – Unicorn.

6. “She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is – and love.” – Schmendrick the Magician.

7. “Let me go. And let her go too. I cannot bear to see her caged. We are two sides of the same magic… the harpy and me, we are not for you.” – Unicorn.

8. “Listen. Don’t listen to ME, listen. You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints. Listen! Listen, listen QUICKLY!” – The Butterfly.

9. “It would be the last unicorn that came to Molly Grue. It’s all right, I forgive you.” – Molly Grue.

10. “I’m no unicorn, no magical creature. I’m a woman, and I love you, Lir. Don’t let him change me! Lir, I will not love you when I am a unicorn.” – Lady Amalthea.

11. “No. My lady, I am a hero. Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever. A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.” – Prince Lir.

12. “I know you. If I were blind I’d know what you are.” – Schmendrick the Magician.

13. “’Unicorns? I thought they only existed in fairytales. This is a forest, like any other… isn’t it?’ ‘Then why do the leaves never fall here? Or the snow? Why is it always spring here? I tell you there is one unicorn left in the world, and as long as it lives in this forest we’ll find no game to hunt here.’” – Hunter 1 & 2.

14. “Once, I can’t remember, I was long ago, someone strange. I was innocent and wise, and full of pain. Now that I’m a woman, everything has changed. Once, when I was searching, somewhere out of reach, far away, in a place I could not find, or heart obey. Now that I’m a woman, everything is strange.” – Lady Amalthea.

15. “Don’t cry. If you have become human enough to cry, then all the magic in the world cannot change you back.” – Schmendrick the Magician.

16. “Never run from anything immortal; it only attracts their attention.” – Unicorn.

17. “I am afraid of this mortal body… more afraid than I was of the Red Bull.” – Unicorn.

18. “Unicorn, mermaid, sorceress… no name you could give her would surprise OR frighten me. I love whom I love.” – Prince Lir.

19. “I like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first I felt it I thought I was going to die. I said to the Red Bull I must have them, all of them, all there are. For nothing makes me happy but their shining and their grace. So the Red Bull caught them. Each time I see the unicorns, my unicorns, it is like that morning in the woods and I am truly young, in spite of myself.” – King Haggard.

20. “I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am no longer like the others, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.” – Unicorn.

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.

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.
