No, I'm not going to tell you to sing to birds or to go live with seven strange men in the woods and take poisonous food from strangers. However, Disney movies have some valuable lessons hiding behind their bright animation and catchy soundtracks.

1. Don't rely on a man to save you

If there is a bigger movie stereotype for "Frozen" to break, it is the idea that we need a man to save us. Everyone - including Disney princesses - have had those f**kboys like Hans that pull the "if only someone loved you" stunt at the last minute. And girl, you don't need that in your life.

2. Don't be afraid to push yourself

you can do anything you put your mind to and that you are stronger than you think. Also, some serious girl power, am I right?

3. Work hard for what you want

"The Princess and the Frog" doesn't just show a badass POC princess, but one that sets some serious career goals and pursues them tirelessly. Tiana is justthe inspiration you need to set your goals, and never stop working until you've achieved them.

4. Persevere

OG princes Cinderella is just the rags-to-riches story to make you feel like you can do anything. Sure you don't actually have a fairy godmother to come save you, but you can be your own fairy godmother. You have the power to turn your shoes into glass slippers - or Louboutins, I mean, I'd rather have those.

5. Be brave


Mulan is the badass inspiration we all need in our lives. If she can save China, then you can be brave enough to conquer whatever scares you.

6. Be yourself

The princess loves Aladdin for what's on the inside - whether he be a street rat or a prince. Now that's some serious inspiration right there to always be yourself - and not to change for anybody.

7. Just keep swimming

No one can say this better than Dory. No matter what life throws at you, just keep swimming.

8. Do things that scare you

If Rapunzel can leave her tower for the first time in her entire life, you can do one thing every day that scares you.

9. Be kind to other

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is one of those obscure Disney movies that the majority of people haven't seen - but if you get the chance, I highly recommend. This one teaches you to always be kind to others, regardless of what they look like.

10. Give people a second chance

If "Beauty and the Beast" taught me anything, it's to give people a second chance. Unless, of course, they kidnap your dad and hold you against your will. Then maybe leave that "second chance" to Disney cartoons. People aren't always what they seem, and when you get to know someone you might discover they are a completely different person than you originally thought.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
