I love movies. I will sit and watch almost anything. If you're anything like me, some movies come and go in a blur, but there are others you think about after and watch more than once, or that even become a staple in your cycle. These quotes are from some movies that stuck with me and I watch again and again. We learn from the world around us and movies and TV are a large part of that.

“No one can make you inferior without your consent.”

This line from "The Princess Diaries" is the one line from any movie that has stuck with me the most. Now, I know, I know, Eleanor Roosevelt said it first, but the context and the emotion behind it are what has made it stick for me. Sometimes it is easier said than done, but things people do and say can only bother you if you let them. Not everyone is going to like you and you are the only person who can determine if that hurts you or not.

"What? Like it's hard?"

My queen Elle. This is just the ultimate petty, girl power quote for me. She achieved something no one thought she could and worked her a** off, but the power move is him thinking that it was a breeze. Warner did not have any respect or esteem for Elle and she achieved the same accomplishments as him, in less time. She is the personification of achieving anything you put your mind to.

"You control your destiny – you don’t need magic to do it. And there are no magical shortcuts to solving your problems."

Disney movies often have a deeper message than what's on the surface, but this quote from "Brave" hits the nail on the head for me. I know I'm not alone in that, from time to time, I wish there was a magic wand to solve my problems. This quote shows the truth in that we are the magic wand, and we are responsible for what happens.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
