The Princess Diaries: Life and Lessons
Odyssey

One of Disney’s greatest princess created was Princess Mia. Growing up watching the two Princess Diaries movies gave me more confidence to by myself. I wouldn’t make so many awkward faces if I had never seen Mia do them first. She was one of my greatest role models as I grew up, and still is. Throughout the series she transforms into a knowledgeable and sort of graceful Queen, without losing who she really is. No matter what she ends up fighting for what she believes is right. She teaches us many things that sometimes we fail to think about. Mia inspires all of us to stick to our quirky awkward roots, but to also embrace the future exceed expectations. Looking back, this series shows so many true parts of life, and also teaches many great lessons for everyone. Here are just a few of the reasons why this series is so incredible.

  1. She keeps her expectations real
  2. Don't just think about yourself
  3. Goals in life set straight
  4. Anybody can be a princess
  5. We are all queens, we just don't know it yet.
  6. How to respond to an awkward compliment
  7. My limited dancing abilities
  8. Being a jerk gets you nowhere
  9. The struggles of pantyhose
  10. Sometimes you have to bend the rules to live fully
  11. We are powerful
  12. Believing in yourself
  13. Our reactions whenever we see a couple making out in public
  14. Our friends words of encouragement in times of doubt
  15. How fast moods can change
  16. Losing it
  17. Crying is okay
  18. Her positive, yet relatable outlook on life
  19. Courageous, not cautious
  20. Reality of being invisible
  21. Coordination in gym class
  22. Exhaustion after a long day, week, month, year, life
  23. Every time Grandma sees my bad posture
  24. Not to forget the moment when somebody tells us something that we just can't wrap our heads around
  25. But turn out being pretty great at it

Thank you Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, for showing me that I can be a princess too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
