No Matter How Old I Get, I Will Always Love These 9 Childhood Movies

Ask any of my friends — I am the worst at watching movies. On chill nights, we love to all pile into a room and watch a movie, but half of the time I fall asleep or don't pay attention. Little do they know, I am just not interested in current movies. These classic childhood movies will always have my heart.

"Finding Nemo"

Finding Nemo

Honestly, no one makes me laugh harder than Dory. "Finding Nemo" never fails to make me happy, sad, and silly all at the same time.

"Peter Pan"

Peter Pan

Enough said. "Peter Pan" will always remind me that it is OKAY to not want to grow up. When I was younger, my parents took my brother and me on a vacation to Disney World. My mom asked me how I thought we were getting there. I responded, "Tinker Bell will give us pixie dust!"

"The Wizard of Oz"

The Wizard of Oz

"Wizard of Oz" is definitely an oldie but a goodie. Ever since I dressed up as Dorthy when I was younger, I have absolutely adored this movie (and "Wicked" too)!

"The Lion King"

The Lion King

The "Lion King" will always be one of my Disney's favorites. Except when I watch this movie, I can't help but get up and dance during all the amazing songs.

"Home Alone"

Home Alone

After every Thanksgiving, "Home Alone" is my go-to movie to watch. It never fails to get me into the holiday spirit. Even though it caused me to be scared to stay home alone when I was younger, this holiday classic with a cup of hot chocolate is perfect for the winter time.

"Toy Story"

Toy Story

I think "Toy Story" will always have the biggest spot in my heart. When I was younger, I used to listen to the "Toy Story 2" audiobook every night to fall asleep #ifyouknowyouknow.

"Matilda"

Matilda

I personally think "Matilda" is one of the more underrated movies out there. I think I rented "Matilda" at least once every other week from my local library when I was younger.

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

Willy Wonka

Good old Willy Wonka. Maybe I love it so much from the candy and chocolate, but I still wonder what a Wonka Bar tastes like.

"Monsters Inc."

Monsters Inc.

I mean come on, look how cute Boo is. #nuffsaid

From red slippers to monsters, talking toys, chocolate factories, and more, these movies are just some of the ones that take me down memory lane. Even as a college student, these movies never fail to make me smile. I bet you know what I am spending my time doing during spring break.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
