Do all of our favorite Disney characters have mental illnesses?

Childhood Ruined Part Two: Evil Queen.

The Evil Queen might be one of the most mentally disturbed characters in all of Disney. Her narcissistic personality means she is devoted to her thirst for power.

Not only her thirst for power but she puts herself above all others. Even to the extent that viewers never see her govern her own kingdom.

The queen is obsessed with beauty. I believe that her passion to be the ��fairest of them all�� is what leads her to plan the murder of her step daughter without any remorse.

She suffers intense delusions, staring into a mirror day after day, believing it speaks to her. When a mirror comes to life or any object comes alive and talks to you, i would think that there was a point where it may believe some delusions. With the mirror to reaffirm her belief that she is the most beautiful person in her kingdom, that was just the start of her mental breakdowns.

Intense paranoia also has its grip on the queen. The queen forces Snow White to become a servant to maintain her status though she still can’t shut out her doubts when her step daughter encounters the prince.

On the verge of another breakdown she orders the huntsman to cut out the princess’ heart. But when they failed, she definitely has a breakdown which she tries to take matters into her own hands. She then transforms into the little old lady to convince her to eat the apple which poisons her.

Her madness makes it known to the kingdom that it is her that needs to be put to death. When love wins, Disney closes the happy ending with a ball and wedding.

Moral of the story is kill off who is more beautiful than you and you will get the prince in the end!


This article is not to say these disorders are any laughing matter; they are serious mental health issues. This is based on opinion not me diagnosing her.

Until next time. Live, Laugh, and Prosper my friend.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
