Okay... so this may seem like an odd post to do during "School Month" but my love of minions actually happened when I was in college... so I feel like I need to kind of explain the whole Minion situation.
First I should explain the previews for Despicable Me... when I was in High School I was a pretty big comedy geek... so when I saw a movie was coming out with Steve Carell, Jack McBrayer, Jemaine Clement, Kristin Wiig, Will Arnett and Russell Brand listed on the credits... I was pretty dang excited!
Next preview I was on The Worst First Date Of All Time... which I guess I'll get to later... but yeah. It was bad enough that it deserves capitals and a title in this little section of the post... so that's fun. But anyway they showed the Minions flipping the cow cup... and I thought it was the funniest thing ever... and the guy I was with didn't laugh... so that should have been a warning sign then... but I feel like finding a guy that appreciates my Minion obsession now is going to be harder... so F that dude for not liking minions before they were a thing like I did. And for a lot of other things... don't like that dude...
Anyway- back to the main story... in COLLEGE I had a few DVDs I'd bring up and I would occasionally watch them with my roommate... who I didn't always get along that well with... but one fun memory was us watching Despicable Me and doing face masks... and that was great.
I think I really started loving it in my Sophomore year of school when the previews for Despicable Me 2 came out and they showed the minions singing Barbara Ann... it was just really funny and cute and ANY TIME I needed a break from studying I would watch that. Then I ended up also watching one of the Minion Mini Movies called "Banana" in which the minions fight over a banana. It was a good way to relieve stress and just take a quick break from the College world.
After that, any time I was a little sad- I'd watch Despicable Me. Something bad happened at work, I watched Despicable Me or a Minion clip or something. At that time my grades weren't the best, work was sometimes difficult... even though it was just retail, my suitemates were probably the worst human beings I've ever actually met... it was all just kind of not the best... but Despicable Me and the Minions cheered me up. Unfortunately my dog died the summer Despicable Me 2 came out... and it made me laugh for a little bit.
Same thing with Despicable Me 3... it came out when my grandfather was in the hospital and my family and I needed a good laugh... and I swear... my parents definitely laughed the loudest in that whole theater. I mean I love minions more than most people... but I think my parents might love them even more.
So that is everything. I'll probably post a little bit more about some good ways to de-stress in college or just to motivate yourself or something... I'm not an expert... but there are probably some tips I could have used in college or something. So yeah look out for that soon too!
Bye!
