College Life As Told By The Princess Diaries

College Life As Told By The Princess Diaries

Princess Diaries is obviously a Disney classic. Anne Hathaway’s transformation from geek to Princess of Genovia overnight is something all girls envy. I already thought this was an amazing movie when I was little, but this speaks to me even more now that I'm a college student.

1. On Monday morning when you are still trying to recover from the weekend and all the sleep you’ve lost.

2. When you remember that you have two exams, three papers, and a presentation all due tomorrow that you have not even sort of prepared for. At least you know there are probably hundreds of other people in the same situation.


3. You are trying so hard to avoid eye contact with anyone who might want to talk to you because you only got three hours of sleep last night. Being a real human is just not an option.

4. You suddenly are late for absolutely everything and anything.

5. Seeing someone cute in your class and hoping they sit next to you.


6. Then they do and you have to try to keep it cool.

7. When a guy screws over your friend, and you have to pick up the pieces of her poor fragile heart.

8. When you think that being able to find a guy who will treat you like the queen you are is nearly impossible.


9. Then you finally think you might have found someone great.


10. No one even recognizes you on the weekends when you actually try because you look like a disaster the other days of the week

.

11. Trying to run around in heels when all of your friends decided that converse were more appropriate that night.

12. Realizing that you’re in control of your own happiness and no matter what people say, it’s up to you whether you will let things bring you down or not.


13. You've finally learned to really accept all your weird quirks. Some people won't understand you, but that's okay.



College really is a good place to find out who you are as a person and who you want to be! If Mia Thermopolis could learn to be a princess, you can do whatever you want.

If my secret grandmother who just happens to be the Queen of Genovia is out there, please call me ASAP.

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.
