While 'Frozen 2' Didn't Make As Much Money As The First Movie, This Sequel Is More Than Worth Seeing

Hello, fellow Frozen fans! It is ice to see you all here to hear about the latest news in regards to the sequel – one that has been a long time coming, since it's been six years since the first movie's release. So now, take all of that stress and frustration you had in anticipation and let it go… And of course, gather all of your excitement as well as all-too-good and happy feels soar over this sequel, because its tremendous box office success, both expected and deserved, is worth celebrating over!

So, here are the technical bits on its ticket sales in the theaters, but don't worry: no spoilers here!Now, on with the box office deets…

Frozen 2 grossed exactly $350.2 million on a global scale, seeming super close to becoming the "largest opening animated movie of all-time"! However, while it flourished worldwide, it only grossed $125 million nationwide within 3 days, as opposed to this year's remake of The Lion King, which gathered up $191 million.

This is not the only time a Frozen movie was surpassed by the Lion King remake: Frozen (a.k.a. this sequel's predecessor) grossed up to $1.27 billion back in 2013 and was officially crowned the "highest-grossing animated film of all time," until the CGI/live-action version of the 1994 lion-ified Hamlet of a Disney Renaissance classic came along and took its spot on the throne, beating out our fave ice queen and her feisty sister with fiery red hair and an icy white streak.

Now, here is the interesting thing: I'm sure that any fan of Disney and/or The Hunger Games would know that when the first Frozen movie came out, it became such a smash that it crushed the numbers for the second Hunger Games movie playing at that time Catching Fire (proving that ice had beaten fire). And isn't it interesting that now the sequel to Frozen, the Academy Award-winning movie for "Best Animated Feature film" in 2014 that beat the Hunger Games sequel, had debuted on November 22nd, the day on which Catching Fire debuted? Hmmm…

Well, I did not bring that up for nothing, though I still find it very interesting (and maybe even strange enough to be a bit of a coincidence). Anyway, this Frozen sequel had collected an estimated $13.1 million, overshadowing the $12.3 million that Catching Fire collected in 2013.

Now, let me just say that I am not salty about that: it's Disney after all, so never mind that Catching Fire was the best Hunger Games movie of the franchise to ever be adapted and hit the big screen, and for it to be beaten by ice not once but twice… It's fine.

But no, in all seriousness though, I'm really glad that Frozen 2 was that successful; yes, while not successful enough to beat out the Lion King CGI remake domestically, but enough so to ice over one of my favorite movies of all time, well that would be another valid reason for why this may be another one of my all-time faves, especially under Disney! So yeah, for the sake of promoting Frozen 2 to everyone I know, I'll just let it go…

And don't miss Frozen 2 in theaters, which is playing now everywhere you look! Now, that I've seen it once in standard theater mode, I can't wait to see it again but this time in IMAX… you know, to feel the amount of adventure as much as the characters are feeling it throughout the movie! (Yes, it was that good.) Tiny hint: I'll be like a flowing river: that way, I'll never forget how I felt every time I would go in to watch this movie in theaters over and over.

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.
