An Equestria Girls Review

My, it's been quite some time since I've posted anything here! I've been very busy with work and haven't had much of a chance to write, unfortunately. However, today I went to see Equestria Girls at my local theater, and figured I'd write down my thoughts for anyone still on the fence about seeing it.   As should be obvious, there are EQG spoilers below!     The Environment   Before I get into the movie, I'd like to talk a bit about the people who showed up to see it

I'm presently pursuing my BA in History, and will be starting my senior year next fall. I'm a classically trained cellist (hence why I've invoked Octavia in the blog name), although I'm kind of down on my luck and out of work in that department. I love reading non-fiction, especially philosophy
