The evilest time of year is among us! What villain doesn't love a good scare? Growing up watching Disney movies, I learned a lot. Most of the main storylines involved rescuing princesses, learning you could fly, or learning that you can simply do or be anything. But as I grew older I almost looked at the villains, or bad guys, of the story to see what they could teach me. These are their stories and what we can take from them.

1. Ursula from "The Little Mermaid"

Being two-faced doesn't get you anywhere.

2. Cruella de Vil from "101 Dalmatians"

Be nice to puppies, and all animals in general.

3. Scar from "The Lion King"

Your past can come back to haunt you. #LongLivetheKing

4. Captian Hook from "Peter Pan"

We all have fears...tick tock, tick tock.

5. The Evil Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

An apple a day... if it's not sketch.

6. Jafar from "Aladdin"

Be careful what you wish for.

7. Sid from "Toy Story"

Kids can be evil.

8. Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast"

Always shoot for the best.

9. Hades from "Hercules"

Don't mess with the "Big Man Upstairs."

10. Mother Gothel from "Tangled"

Mother knows best, always.

11. The Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland"

Don't let power go to your head.

12. The Shadow Man from "The Princess and the Frog"

Don't make deals with the devil.

13. King Louie from "The Jungle Book"

Don't play with fire.

14. Yzma from "The Emperor's New Groove"

Don't rely on others to do your dirty work. They might get sidetracked and talk to squirrels.

15. Edgar from "The Aristocats"

Never try to get rid of the family pet.

16. Madame Medusa from "The Rescuers"

Always look fierce and keep looking for the Devil's Eye.

17. Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

If she's not into you, get over it, don't burn down half of Paris over it.

18. The Sanderson Sisters from "Hocus Pocus"

Keep trying, even if it takes 300 hundred years. Oh, and sisterly love.

19. Hans from "Frozen"

Don't come between siblings.

20. The Evil Stepmother/Lady Tremaine from "Cinderella"

Pets are loyal. And don't try to cover up your mistakes.


So even though they are wicked in their ways, we can still look to them as role models...kind of. Thanks, to villains and all you spooky bad guys!

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.
