The 'Frozen 2' Soundtrack Isn't As Exciting As The First, But The Meaning Is MUCH Deeper

When "Frozen" first came out, it erupted through the Internet like a bomb that went viral. Except it was so very, very viral. It's Disney, for goodness sake. Featuring two sisters, one born with magic, one born without, "Frozen" describes a journey of Elsa, the sister born with magic leaving the kingdom after hiding it from her own kingdom after her parents passed after a daunting boat expedition. Anna, her sister, sets out to follow her and on her way meets Kristoff, her soon to be husband, etc. Elsa never found herself. I mean, sure, she found herself through sisterhood and knowing what it was to be at peace with her own magical powers, but she never got to understand it -- its origins, why she got it, whether she was the only one. In other words, she never really found a place for her to really belong.

Then comes "Frozen 2," the sequel. The sequel that was promised to give an origin to Elsa's powers and her own identity. To let her have a happy ending. That part did not lie. A specific song that was in the movie "Into the Unknown," was a powerful soundtrack, even though most people believed it did not measure up to "Let it Go" in the first movie. I mean, of course not. It is simply not as powerful or rebellious. But "Into the Unknown" was the song that made Elsa discover who she is.

Comparing discovering one's own identity with acting like a rebellious teenager, I would personally conclude the most important aspect is to discover one's own self worth and identity in the world. Anna already found her own life: it was with her sister, and with her friends Olaf and Kristoff. Elsa was left to be the older sister that was to hold responsibility for her sister and for the kingdom. But did she really want that? People haven't stopped to consider whether Elsa really wanted this fate.

Deep within, Elsa wanted to know how she got the powers, ever since she was little. When the King and Queen told Elsa and Anna the story of the enchanted forest, Elsa had wanted to know the histories and how it came to be. Anna was always her rebellious and adventurous self. "Frozen 2" was a fantastic debut and showed that wherever you are in life, you can always find yourself by taking risks and following your heart. Yes, Disney always gives these characters a happy ending, but in reality, you can never find that happy ending unless you try. "Frozen 2" may not be as impactful as "Frozen," but it gives a good ending for the main character.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
