The 10 Best Moana Quotes
10. "I am Moana of Motusi. You will board my boat and restore the heart to Tafiti."

This quote itself isn't funny, but the way Moana says it is. She repeats this line at least 10 times throughout the movie and even practices it several times so she sounds convincing. Despite the numerous time she repeats these words, they never get old.





9. "If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess."- Maui

This seems stereotypical, but it's true. Rapunzel has her little iguana. Elsa has her snowman. Cinderella has her mice. Ariel has Flounder. Mulan has her horse. The list goes on.

8. "Do you who Maui is? The greatest demigod that ever lived, who stopped the sun, who pulled up islands out of the sea, and battled monsters. Do you know why I know all this? That's because, I am Maui!" - Maui

Oh, Maui. His self-centeredness is sad, yet so funny because it's so obvious. Thankfully, he becomes more thoughtful and considerate at the end of the film.

7."Muscle up, buttercup! We’re here." - Maui

Maui's gives Moana hilarious nicknames . Plus, it seems like buttercup alludes to "The Princess Bride" and dovetails from the previous times he called her a princess. However, Moana proves that she's a fierce woman instead of a powerless little girl. She's definitely better than buttercup.


6. "Can we be real? If my name was Sebastian and I had a cool Jamaican accent, you'd totally help me! You would, you know you would!" - Tamatoa

Like always, Disney incorporates several Easter eggs throughout their films. This quote hints at Sebastian from "The Little Mermaid." Yes, Sebastian is cooler than Tamatoa from Moana.

5. It's actually Maui, shape-shifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men. I interrupted. From the top. Hero of men. Go!" - Maui

Once again, Maui's ego is so huge that he doesn't even realize Moana is talking to him. Poor Moana doesn't even receive a chance to properly introduce herself, not that Maui actually cares.


4. "You are going to stay here with the other chicken," - Maui

The ever-so-sly Maui just sneakily called Moana a chicken. At least he was nice about it.

3. "When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting,"-- Maui

This is a subtle nod to Twitter (get it now?). This quote also shows how much our society relies on social media. But wait a minute — why is Maui writing with a bird in the first place? Is that animal cruelty?

2. "You can't run from me! Oh, you *can* run from me! You keep surprising me." -- Tamatoa

This quote is perfect and unexpectedly fills in the blanks — most movies would stop at "you can't run from me," but Disney provides some comedic relief when the villain actually realizes how quickly Moana moves.

1. "There comes a day when you're gonna look around and realize happiness is where you are." - "Where you are song" from the Moana soundtrack

This quote speaks to anyone who constantly lives in the future and misses present moments. Make the most out of every moment — you can never go back in time and have a do-over. Enjoy the time you have with other people.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
