15 Signs You May Have an Unhealthy Obsession with "The Little Mermaid"
Gabi Bon Durant

My generation, if nothing else, is one that's nostalgic for its childhood -- and I am no exception. Though I was born three years after the release of my favorite movie of all time which gave birth to the Disney Renaissance: "The Little Mermaid." It will always be an important part of my world (see what I did there?). Here are 15 signs that you're as big of a dork as I am.

1. You've dressed as Ariel for Halloween at least once in your life.

2. You've had a deep existential crisis over not being a redhead.

3. You want to visit Denmark because it is the birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson and home of the famous Little Mermaid statue.

4. You're planning to decorate your graduation cap as an homage.

4. You actually own a Dinglehopper.

How else will you smooth out your luxurious mermaid tresses?

5. But before you had a legit one, you actually brushed your hair with a fork once or twice.

6. You've seen it on Broadway with the original cast.


7. This is one of your childhood treasures that you may or may not still own.


8. Your little five year old heart was all a flutter when Ariel told you you were pretty at Disneyland and signed her autograph with bubbles.

9. You were more excited than any little kid when "The Little Mermaid" ride came out at California adventure.

10. You still get massive feels whenever you watch it.


11. You've tried (in vain) to master the infamous hair flip.

12. You've had more than one Ariel doll.

13. Your mom blames your not eating seafood on this movie.

14. You're seeing it at the Hollywood Bowl this summer!


15. You Know that "Under Da Sea" is where it's really at.

P.S. Feel free to turn this into a drinking game if you're of age!

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.
