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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
