A Disney+ Review, From a Disney Aficionado

It's finally here!

It seemed too good to be true! When Disney announced its' own streaming network with all of the classic shows and movies we all love, we thought it was too good to be true. Obviously, I had to sign up. The day that subscriptions were allowed, I signed up for an account with my family. So we did our waiting until yesterday, November 12th 2019. Finally, it is here!

Yesterday after classes, my boyfriend and I spent almost an hour and a half perusing the selections offered. So many classics from the vault, adventure packed Marvel movies, calming nature documentaries from National Geographic, and even Disney Channel shows and originals! If that wasn't good enough though, they also gave us a variety of DIsney+ originals (I'm most excited to watch What If and The World According to Jeff Goldblum).

Yes, this streaming service is extremely innovative and I am grateful for its invention, I also had a few complaints about the network. While they are minor and I will not be giving up my subscription any time soon because of it, I would like to see them fixed in the near future.

First, there are subtitles that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn off. I don't know if I am just dense or if this is just a setting that cannot be changed, but I cannot figure it out. I know opinions on subtitles are mixed but, as I am one of the people that prefers their shows without them, I need them off. I would like at least clarification from Disney on this feature. Preferably, I would like this problem fixed. But until then, if anyone knows how to turn them off and wants to help me, please let me know.

Additionally, they don't have ~all~ the movies. There are some Marvel movies that are still on Netflix and they didn't include every Disney Channel show (hello Sonny with a Chance?!). This is a super picky critique, I recognize this. I know that they are adding more content as time goes on. Let's just see what content gets added before I recognize this concern as a full on complaint.

All in all, I am very excited to keep watching (yes I said keep). There are a ton of movies from my childhood on this service and I am so excited to see what I haven't discovered yet.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
