Maleficent

          We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty: baby is born, gets cursed by an evil witch, grows up in the woods, pricks her finger, falls asleep, and wakes up with true love’s kiss.

The movie opens up in a magical kingdom upon the moors populated by everything from sprites to giant tree creatures; all ruled by their princess, an extremely headstrong fairy named Maleficent who is dedicated to protecting the moors from the evils of men.

Sorry for taking so long to post anything new, college life is both busy and a little boring. But something exciting has just occurred, the Mr. and Ms. Central competition! This is an annual tradition going back who knows how long; each residence hall around campus puts on their own talent competition and once those winners are decided on the Mr.s and Ms.s move on to compete against each other in front of the student body. Everyone can showcase their talents from singing, playing an instrument, dancing, rapping, juggling, comedy, even some poetry. So without further ado I present to you the Mr. and Ms. Central competitors. Most pictures provided by the Central Washington University Facebook page.  (Getting ready for the competition) (Tiana Shuford - Ms. Al-Monty) (Albert Calhoun - Mr. Al-Monty) (Anita Richards - Ms. Barto)      ( Nick Mahan - Mr. Barto)      (Ashyna Richards - Ms. Beck)     (Kory Hollingsworth -...
