Mushu, "We're gonna die! We're gonna die! We're definitely gonna die! No way we survive this! Death is coming!"

I don't know about you but the stress of midterms before Spring Break popping up like Hunny Buns out of nowhere has me in need of a laugh. Lucky for me Mulan is only 88 minutes and on Netflix, so here are some of everyone's favorite inspirational Mulan quotes to get us through this next week and into the Spring Break we deserve.

I like to say this one in my best scratchy old dad voice. I mean its the perfect pick me up when you realize you have that one group project, a presentation, and a surprise quiz, all in the same day.

I think this every time I enter the library, start my computer, or crack a book. Its just so versatile. I mean usually I start taking gummy bear breaks but we all need those.

For a song all about men, this is one that a lot of women love, myself included. Why? Well, I think it's because at its core the song is less about actual masculinity and more about being a badass, which is genderless. I like to watch the Be a Man video clip during midterms and finals, and no lie, it gets me teary eyed. If Mulan can train all day then I can finish my ten-page papers. I've got the raging fire, typhoon, and mystery down, but I alas, I will never be as swift as a coursing river.

This is your chance to prove yourself! College midterms are an opportunity to prove you've been listening and studying hard in class and out of class, putting real thought into your work, whether it is a major related or elective class. The cricket is optional.

Just like a single grain of rice tips the scales, an extra hour quizzing yourself over important terms or doing a final edit on your paper can mean the difference between an A and a B. So when you're ready to call it a night and go goof off, set your timer and study smart for just one more hour.

I mean, the last thing we want is dishonor on us. Or our family. And especially not our cows.

May the odds be ever in your favor, and enjoy Spring Break responsibily.
