10 Things Lizzie McGuire Taught Me

"Lizzie McGuire" the show we all watched religiously and fell in love with. "Lizzie McGuire" ultimately was the show that paved the way for us. We learned so many life lessons from Lizzie and her friends and family, and looked up to her. She was extremely relatable and taught us about growing up. I’m happy I grew up during the time that "Lizzie McGuire" was on TV, because watching the show definitely made me into who I am today. So if you are someone who watched the show growing up, I’m sure you will agree on these 10 things that "Lizzie McGuire" taught me.

1. Hairstyles

Lizzie McGuire had some amazing hairstyles that were enviable to say the least. Every hairstyle she wore was unique and different. She always wore her hair in a way that made her comfortable and expressed herself. I ultimately started crimping my hair because of Lizzie.

2. Clothes

Clothes are important and they are a way to express yourself. Lizzie had some amazing clothing and she paved the way for fashion. Lizzie taught me to wear what I want to wear, and not let anyone tell me different.

3. Boys

Lizzie basically taught us all about love and her relationship with Gordo was #goals from the beginning. She showed us that at the end of the day, whoever you end up with should also be your best friend.

4. Bras

We saw Lizzie tell her parents she wanted a bra, and we ultimately learned from her. Most of us probably got a bra around the same time she did, and she taught us to speak up. She showed us how important it is to say what’s on your mind in order to help yourself.

5. Friendships

Friends are important and at the end of the day, your best friends are always there for you and you should be there for them as well. She taught me to always be loyal to your friends and never try to be someone you’re not, because your true friends will love you for who you are.

6. Being Yourself

Lizzie embraced her personality, and didn’t act in a way to please others. She showed us it wasn’t important to be cool or popular and to always be unique because at the end of the day, you are who you are!

7. Speak Up

Lizzie taught us to speak up to anyone who is mean to us. She never let Kate Sanders effect her self confidence, and she never let it bother her. She showed us it’s important to stand up for yourself and never let bullies get you down.

8. Body Confidence

Lizzie taught us to be happy with our bodies and to never let other people define us or tell us how we should look. She showed us that dieting is stupid and as long as we are healthy and comfortable with our bodies, that is all that matters.

9. Believe in Yourself

Lizzie taught us to always believe in ourselves and stay confident no matter what. Being true to ourselves and always going with our gut is what is important! She showed us to always believe in our own ideas at the end of the day

10. Aaron Carter

Lizzie just made me love Aaron Carter more and he will always be my first love. Aaron Carter X Lizzie McGuire=Relationship Goals.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
