Why 'The Lion King' is the Best Disney Movie of All Time
CDN

Disney's "The Lion King" came out in 1994. So like me, this film is 21 years old and still going strong. As a child, I watched it multiple times a day, sang-a-long to every song, collected every toy, and interpretive danced to the soundtrack in my living room while jumping off a "pride rock" of pillows. I lived and breathed this movie. Its depth, fun, adventure, emotional twists and turns, plot, and all of the following reasons have earned it the title of best Disney movie.


1. It stars lions.



2. There is adventure and adrenaline pumping moments.



3. There are moments that will still make you tear up 21 years later.

One of the worst moments of my life.

4. There is lion love.


5. The soundtrack is a phenom.



6. You get to see what it's like to be best friends with a meerkat and warthog.


7. The mighty and majestic King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi.



8. Adorable baby lion cubs.



9. This scene which actually made you want to consider trying a bug.



10. The beautiful home of Timon and Pumbaa.



11. The "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle.


12. But also, the important message to be true to who you are and your sense of duty.


13. Nala is a tough bitch.


14. It taught us real life lessons like sometimes your Uncle can be a sociopath and should not be allowed to run the Pridelands.


15. Jokes that we understand as a more mature audience.

Lol, JK.

16. Rafiki's wisdom.



17. Rafiki being an asshole.


18. You can run from your past forever or you can learn from it.

The realest lesson in the game.


19. How pumped you got when Simba was returning home to f*** shit up.


20. This scene which made you wish there was a "Lion King 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9" so we could see Simba through each of his life stages.


21. Simba was kinda hot, tbh.

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.
