The Magic of Disney

I absolutely love Disney movies! No matter your mood, they always make you smile. Today I watched two Disney sing alongs, Robin Hood, and The Lion King with some sorority sisters, they just make us all happy. There be moments that make you cry, but they always have a happy ending! The older Disney movies are the best, the newer ones just aren't as good. I did like Cars, but that's the only recent Disney movie that I really like.

"We Were More Than a Slice of American Pie"

So I just heard the song Slice by Five for Fighting yesterday and it really got me thinking about a simpler time, a time when people's lives weren't controlled by cell phones, Facebook, computers, and pretty much all things electronic. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could live without my cell phone, but it would have been nice to live when everyone wasn't technology obsessed. I think it would have been cool to live during the 60's. People actually got excited every time they heard a new song because music wasn't easily accesible. American Bandstand was where all the new music was heard first and waiting for it to come on was so exciting. Music just couldn't be bought instantly online, you actually had to go out and buy a record. I love Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and it's so weird to think that Rock n' Roll was once considered a bad thing, but that's what made it so great, it was like something you shouldn't be doing, but you couldn't help it. I think it's funny how it used to be scandalous to wear a skirt that didn't touch your knees, now girls leave the house with everything hanging out and no one even thinks twice. Sometimes I really do think life would be better if we went back to a simpler way of thinking.

My issue with A Nightmare on Elm Street

So, I went and saw the new A Nightmare on Elm Street. I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I heard they were remaking it because I love horror movies. I actually really enjoyed the movie. It didn't fall victim to so many of the cliches that other remakes have. For starters no one ran around naked for half the movie, in fact there was no nudity at all. Also, every other word wasn't F***, sure they said it, but not to the extreme of some other movies. My issue wasn't really with the movie, but the people in the theater. I always like to get to movies a little early so I can get a good seat. There weren't that many people in the theater, then this couple walks in with a little girl who couldn't have been more than 7 or 8. I thought are they in the right movie, but whatever. Apparently the women in front of me thought the same thing because she turned around to me to make sure she was in the right movie. After we confirmed it was the right movie another woman walks in with more small children, then another couple with several more children, including one who was probably only three. Of course, they all choose to sit in the row right behind me. So I spend the entire movie listening to children talk and getting my seat kicked. Seriously people, this is an R rated movie leave the kids at home. If this had been How to Train Your Dragon, I wouldn't have a problem because that's an appropriate movie for children. This movie was in no way a kid friendly movie.

Getting Tore Up

One night a bunch of us were sitting at Waffle House discussing who knows what. I tend to get very defensive about certain things and apparently it happened and my friend Kaitlin said, "Kelsey, don't get tore up." Ever since then whenever I get mad or defensive about something, everyone says don't get tore up. Some things I have very strong opinions about and if it takes getting loud to make my point then I'm going to do it. There are just somethings you should never argue with me about:
1. Johnny Depp
2. Adam Lambert
3. Movie trivia
4. Things that I know for a fact ( I hate when people argue about things they have no idea about)
5. How to do my job within the sorority
There's a good chance you will not win any of these conversations and I will get tore up!

Friends

I was inspired to start a blog by my friend Jessica. I don't really know what to blog about, but here it goes. The farther along I get in the college, the more I begin to realize how close I am to being in the real world. It's hard to believe that I'm about to be a senior in college. In a year and a half I'll be getting a real job and I'll be on my own. College has really changed the way I view everything. You leave high school thinking that those are the people you will be best friends with the rest of your life, but that's just not true. I barely speak to anyone I went to high scool with anymore. The friends I've made in college are the best and most diverse group of people. Some of them are people I never would have been friends with in high school. Some are wild, crazy and very out there, others are quiet and more laid back like me. I've had some of the best experiences with these people. These include flying off on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere with the gas tank on empty to simply laying around and laughing about our day. All of my friends are amazing and I can always count on one of them to cheer me up when I've had a bad day.
