Thoughts I Had While Watching "Finding Dory"

What do we do? We swim, swim, swim.

Thoughts I Had While Watching "Finding Dory"

June 17, 2016 was the day that so many young adults have been waiting for. It was not just another Friday or chance to party; no this was a day 13 years in the making. On June 17, we were once again reunited with Dory, Marlin and Nemo and it was glorious! 13 years after Marlin searched every inch of the ocean for his beloved son, Dory went missing.

Like any other college student, my friends and I went to see "Finding Dory" opening day as soon as we could. Seeing a beloved sequel 13 years later creates some interesting thoughts, so here are some ideas that crossed my mind when watching the movie.

1. I'm SO excited!

2.Get out of my way kid! I've done my waiting for this movie! 13 years of it!

3. Oh my God, I can't believe I'm finally seeing this. Dory, it's been too long!

4. Ugh, why so many commercials?

5. Ooooo that movie looks cute.

6. Yup, definitely seeing that.

7. gasps The screen went black! That must mean...another commercial. Great.

8. PIXAR SHORT TIME.

9. Why is Pixar so good?

10. This is so cute.

11. IT'S FINALLY STARTING. No one say a word.

12. Pixar makes the ocean looks so beautiful.

13. I want to go to the ocean.

14. NOSTALGIA.

15. Awwwww, Dory is so cute.

16. "Hello, I'm Dory and I suffer from short term memory loss."

17. Just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin, swimmin', swimming.

18. Pixar, you have destroyed and abused my heart within the first two minutes.

19. Please let her find her parents.

20. FIN. NOGGIN. DUUUUDDEEE.

21. I miss my childhood.

22. Dory is my spirirt animal.

23. Or maybe Marlin.

24. Nope, Dory forever.

25. Don't touch the butt. You learned that the first time!

26. Awwww, Dory is so cute.

27. DId I already say that? Sorry, I suffer from short term memory loss.

28. Now I need to look up echolocation.

29. Does an octopus really have three hearts?

30. Time to whip away my tears with my popcorn napkin and go hug my family.

Needless to say, "Finding Dory" was amazing and most definitely lived up to its prequel. The movie was a perfect mix of new adventures and throwbacks to the very first swim across the ocean. Now go see this movie for yourself and make sure you wait until the end of the credits (hint, hint).

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

7. gasps The screen went black! That must mean...another commercial. Great.
