Hakuna Matata

Last night, I got the most amazing opportunity. I have a great appreciation for a lot of things in this world, but every once in a while, I encounter something that absolutely stops me in my tracks. Something that renders everything else completely insignificant, if only for a moment. For me, it was Lion King.

My friends Lexii, Yangming, and I boarded a bus (or two, or three) and made our way to downtown Minneapolis to wait outside the Orpheum Theater for 3 hours to get our tickets. It was freezing and we passed the time drinking hot chocolate and making up games. It was absolutely my best college experience so far!

I literally almost cried as the opening song ended because I was so touched! And for a moment, I wasn't a college student but 3 year old Miranda, watching Lion King 3 or 4 times a day with my parents (bless them). The show had such a powerful impact, it was seriously one of the best days of my entire life! The music was incredible, the props and set were incredible, and I got to be with my friends watching my favorite movie on stage. All I know is that I would watch it again and again if I got the chance. So I guess I'm just gonna have to convince my family and friends that it is a must-see.. for their sakes and mine:)
