Just like Moana, we know the way.

Moana is, without a doubt, the funniest, strongest, and most independent character that Disney has ever created. She's not a princess, but she's a millennial through and through. Here are 10 times that Moana showed us that she is a true millennial.

1. When she taught herself how to sail.

With the abundance of technology we have, we only have to search YouTube or WikiHow to learn how to do just about anything.

2. She always took care of Pua and Heihei.

With 12% of millennials being vegetarians as opposed to 4% of Gen X'ers, we definitely care about animals, too.

3. She took on Te Ka by using kindness, not violence.

Millenials are the least violent generation on record.

4. Moana cared for her people more than anything.

Even when her heart yearned for the sea, she knew that her people needed a leader and was willing to give her dream up so she could lead her village. Similarly, research also shows that millennials care more about the community than individual needs.

5. For most of the movie, Moana doesn't know what her life's purpose is.

She is torn between taking her place as the chief of her village and her love for the sea. Recent polls from CNN's research shows that most Millennials are unsure of what they want to do in life.

6. But, in the end, she chooses to become a wayfinder because she knows it's her true calling.


Research by Bentley University shows that most millennials wouldn't keep a job if it went against our own values. When we know what makes us happy, we know it's the right choice, just like Moana chooses the sea because it was what she truly loved.

7. She didn't need a man in her life to know who she was.

Millennials are more concerned with our own personal goals than finding a relationship. We take care of ourselves and we get the job done, thankyouverymuch.

8. She's confident.

9. She's compassionate.

10. She's adventurous.

So are millennials - we know the way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
