"The Princess Bride" is a classic; debating that isn't worth it. Whether you prefer the book, the movie, or however you get your fix of that fantasy land, it's undeniably special and altogether worth it. Below, a review guide of all the lessons the ultimate princess story taught us.

1. It has what brings us together today.

Please don't skip to the end like Prince Humperdinck wanted to, even if you're hurrying to force marriage on a princess. Also, maybe reconsider that.

2. It taught us to respect others.

Even and especially those we were intending to duel. Definitely when you're about to fight to the death. Honor is important to those of us who sword-fight often.

3. Westley gave us intense bae-goals.

Don't you want someone to do what you ask them to, with or without the initial sarcasm?

4. Always remember that there could always be worse.

He was only mostly-dead, after all. He could have been all dead.

5. Inigo's passion was more than inspiring.

Revenge, passion, it all depends on how you frame it. Either way, great resolve.

6. Westley gave us some serious life advice.

Don't fall trap to those cheery salesmen with incentives like money and happiness.

7. It provided a very important vocabulary lesson for us all.

Inconceivable; adj, not capable of being imagined, or grasped, mentally. Unimaginable.

8. And then reminded us to question those lessons.

9. Prince Humperdinck makes sure we always prioritize.

Planning is important. Keep track of tasks, with something like a to-do list.

10. Vizzini reminded us to keep our heads up.

Never get involved with a land war in Asia. Or go against a Sicilian when death is on the line--though that is slightly less known. Slightly.

11. Westley taught us to throw shade like no other.

Never underestimate the power of the ol' buffoon line. Good way to get under the skin of your nemesis.

12. Because yes, it is a kissing book.

And we all love it.

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.
