The Real March Madness Was Ruining My Friendships With A Disney Movie Bracket

May all the healthy relationships I lost rest in piece.

The Real March Madness Was Ruining My Friendships With A Disney Movie Bracket
Alexis Mills

Having just gone through March, we've all experienced the weird phenomenon that is March Madness. At every turn, there is some male (and women, too) going off about some "upset" to his bracket, or how a 16th seed team beat a first seed. For those of us who do not care about basketball, this kind of bracket talk becomes quite annoying. But if you've been in the Twittersphere lately, you might have noticed a trend that has to do with brackets but is perfect for you: a Disney/Pixar movie bracket.

When I came upon this tweet as I scrolled down Twitter one Sunday afternoon, I knew I had to get involved in it. I am definitely a Disney/Pixar fan, so this was right up my alley. Plus, the original poster's bracket was awful and needed some dire changes anyways.

I sat down, did some critical thinking based on the overall cinematic quality of each film, in my opinion, and posted my bracket on my personal Twitter.

I thought maybe I'd get a comment or two, but what I got instead was a mob of angry friends ready to rip me and my bracket apart.

I was shocked to find my friends to be so uncultured that they were offended by my clearly superior opinions. "Zootopia" deserved to win it all, and I will forever stand by that decision. It has a unique plot, humor, and important relevant themes that I felt earned its win. Apparently, my followers felt much differently.

Soon, I was attacked for all parts of my bracket. From "Frozen" to "Mulan," the way my bracket had played out did not seem to live up to anyone's standards. I was getting what felt like a lot of notifications for my normally dry and underappreciated account and had to defend myself at every turn.

Despite the arguing though, it was all in good humor and many thought-provoking conversations were had. While I overall seem to have made everyone angry and irrevocable changed many of my friends' opinions about me for the worse, it was a good experience.

And, at the end of it all, it was much more fun than March Madness.

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.
