The Disney Princesses were seemingly great role models for young kids. Now that we're older it's easy to find ways that those girls don't relate anything to our lives. It may feel like we're super far away from the Disney days, but they have some lessons for us to use even as we get older. Here are a few college/life lessons as they relate to Disney princesses.
Cinderella
Don't - go around trying to get your MRS degree. Ladies we need to do for ourselves and not look for a man to rescue us
Do- help your friends outs. Friends are your greater resource all throughout adulthood. Professors tell you your network can come right from your class and that true. BE the mice and do little deeds here and there or be your friends' fairy godmother do something big.
Snow White
Don't- take things from strangers. Just like the wicked witch poisoned Snow's apple strangers and weird guys can spike your drinks.
Do- Treat others the way you wish to be treated. The dwarfs took snow in and helped her until she was ready to leave. If you see someone struggling alone either drunk, lost etc, just ask if they need some help because you would want someone to look out for you too
Belle (Beauty and the Beast)
Don't- Give into to people's standards of beauty and lifestyle. Everyone thought she was weird for being beautiful but looking for substance in life.
Do- Speak up for what you believe in and stand your ground. Now that you're older there are so many opportunities to speak your mind, debates, forums, peaceful protests. Just like Belle stood up to the entire town about the goodness of the beast you have to stand up for what you believe in as well
Ariel
Don't- Sign away at things you don't understand without your parents notice. Great, you're an adult now that doesn't mean you automatically understand contracts, lease agreements or anything. So, before you end up losing your voice in a bad deal go over it with someone you trust.
Do - Go after what you want. So many people are going to try and tell you that your chances of having a solid career in your field or traveling the amount you want are out of reach but you have to go for them. Just like Ariel never gave up on Eric you can't give up on your dreams.
Jasmine
Don't- Act like you know it all. Jasmine got an attitude in this movie and almost got killed twice. Remember humility is one of the best qualities.
Do- Go out on your own and experience life. You can't be scared of what's out there you have to go out and find it
