Today, the spectrum of Disney Princesses and their virtues is so wide. While each princess shares royalty in common, no two are quite the same, just like no two college students are quite the same.
Cinderella: Fashion
She made her own dress from fabric scraps gathered by her furry friends. When that dress was destroyed, she rocked a sparkling white gown and turn-of-the-century glass heels with a confidence no one knew she possessed. It takes a true fashionista to be such a trend-setter.
Belle: English
Her obsession with books is nothing insignificant. In the very first scene, she is pictured walking while holding an open book on her way to the town library. The Beast gives her his very own personal library in the castle, and the way Belle's eyes light up is as if she walked into a dream.
Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty): Medicine
Specifically neurodiagnostics and sleep studies, this princess would excel in the medical field due to her first hand experience with abnormal sleeping conditions.
Snow White: Nutrition
No princess knows more about the importance of good versus bad food than the girl who ate the poisoned apple.
Rapunzel: Cosmetology
A girl with seventy feet of hair surely has some tips and tricks on how to style it, manage it, and tame its beastly beauty.
Tiana: Business
A true business woman at heart, Tiana stops at nothing to pursue her dream of opening up her own restaurant and owning her own business.
Jasmine: Women's Studies
As one who had her fate constantly argued over by the men in her life, Jasmine represents the perfect women's studies and rights advocate. She conveys a strength and confidence that proves women are truly "not a prize to be won."
Ariel: Archeology
Her hidden, undersea collection of earthly objects is an archeology in its own right. Humans excavate to find what treasures lie beneath them; mer-people scour the sea to seek treasures that drop from above. Both appreciate the history and novelty of artifacts from other worlds.
Moana: Marine Biology
Drawn to the sea since childhood, this lady was born to be one with the water.
Mulan: ROTC
While not technically a college major, Mulan would excel in ROTC programs because of her background in combat combined with her fierceness and passion for gender equality.
Pocahontas: History
As a woman who lived through the making of America, who would be a better historian than Pocahontas?
Anna: Environmental Studies
Desperate to save her city, this princess respects nature. She obeys the wicked commands of the wintery conditions, yet strives to bring back spring to set nature back in order.
Elsa: Psychology
Elsa's story is one about developing the powers of the mind. At the end of her tale, she learns that it is better to practice and control one's mental abilities and that the power of the mind is not something to fear.
Merida: Exercise Science
A true athlete at heart, this archery-loving, horse-riding princess would be close to home with the study of exercise science.
Each princess and each person might share qualities with others, but is inherently different in her own right, and everyone deserves the privilege to express these differences in any way she chooses.
