If you have seen any of my previous posts, you will see that Disney is packed full of 'practical advice' for everyday life. Below are just a few of the countless life lessons brought to us by Disney's "Sleeping Beauty."

1. Don't invite everyone to the party.

Exclude the evil sorceress. No, this isn't a recipe for disaster at all.

2. When giving out magical gifts, beauty and a nice singing voice takes precedence over a good personality and smarts.

As long as she's pretty, she doesn't need to be intelligent or likable. Who cares?

3. Sewing is evil.

I knew it.

4. It's perfectly normal to have an imaginary boyfriend.

Don't let the haters get you down.

5. The guy you met "once upon a dream" exists and is exactly as you imagined him.

Sixteen years of hiding in a cabin are the perfect preparation for marriage. In fact, he'll be the first guy you meet.

6. Don't talk to strangers.

...but if you do, play hard to get.

7. Sometimes a little magic goes a long way.

This is even better than having woodland creatures do manual labor for you!

8. The most important question of them all: pink or blue?

Did you say pink? Them be fightin' words.

9. Always touch the glowing spinning wheel.

What could go wrong?

10. Sometimes all you need is a good nap.

Had a bad day? Sleep it off.

11. Hell hath no fury...be ready for her to turn into a real beast.

Especially if you're trying to ruin an elaborate sixteen-year revenge plot. She might get fiery.

12. As always, true love's kiss is the cure for whatever ails you!

I'm having a Deja Vu moment. Where have I seen this before?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
