Okay, if there's one thing anybody knows about me, it is that I love Disney & Pixar movies. Disney Pixar has created such an amazing world of magic and movies that has sincerely changed my life. I love it so much. I live just outside of Chicago, Illinois, and here in Chicago is a museum known as the Museum of Science & Industry. Now, I've been going to MSI for years now, and every time I go to the museum, I learn more and more. Whether it be about the human body, or about the weather, my knowledge on various subjects is constantly growing.

The Museum of Science and Industry recently added an exhibit known as "The Science Behind Pixar." When I saw the advertisement for this exhibit, I knew I NEEDED to go. This exhibit takes you on a unique behind the scenes look of how our favorite, timeless movies and beloved characters come to life. Everyone is invited to create and explore the Pixar magic and learn about how movies come together to be shown on the big screen.

When arriving at the museum, many cherished characters hang on posters all around the walls, such as Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story" and Joy from "Inside Out." Walking in and immediately seeing these characters got me so excited for what I would see in the exhibit. This Pixar exhibit requires an additional $14 per adult fee, but if you're a super fan like me who appreciates every single thing that Pixar does for their movies, it's worth every penny.

"The Science Behind Pixar" is split into two galleries throughout the museum. This was probably meant to deter away from so many crowds at once, which is genius, given the fact that there was a bunch of people getting tickets for this exhibit. I'm telling you, it's so worth it. So when you walk into the first gallery, you watch a five-minute movie explaining how Pixar makes movies, and why they do the things that they do. After that, you're free to roam into the exhibit! An amazing Buzz Lightyear statue greets you right away as you enter the doors, and then not far after that, a Sulley and Mike Wazowski figurine from "Monsters Inc." is there too!

This exhibit was so hands-on, as every station allowed all ages to interact with a simulation. You can watch the advertisement for "The Science Behind Pixar" here! I learned so much, and it really made me appreciate Disney and Pixar that much more. It's amazing what technology is capable of, and how magical it can be as Pixar creators develop characters and movies that are loved for many years to come. It also made me want to re-watch every Pixar movie, and pay extra close attention to all of the detail, work, and effort that goes into such small detail!

You can purchase your tickets, as well as learn more about "The Science Behind Pixar" at the Museum of Science and Industry's website here!

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.
