11 Things Disney Taught Me

"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney

11 Things Disney Taught Me
Adrianna Filyaw

I have always been a Disney lover and to this day, that has never changed about me. I am "that" girl that still watches Netflix for kids just because it's easier to watch my favorite animated classics. Disney brings a magic to our lives, a magic that never dies. No matter how old I get I will always love Disney and be grateful for all the the countless life lessons Mr. Walt himself taught me.

1. Not everyone is a morning person, and that's okay.

I guess this means you all now know that I am not a morning person, huh? To be clear, I basically am Princess Anna when someone tries to wake me up... hair and all.

2. A queen can never be late; which means I am never late, right?

Queen Clarisse, I could not have said it better. The party doesn't start until I walk in.

3. Being yourself is the most perfect way to be.

Thank you, Walt Disney, for encouraging us all to embrace the "practically perfect in every way" lifestyle. With confidence and a bottomless bag, who could complain?

4. The truth is always the best option.

Often our society is entangled with lies and negativity, but from the very beginning Mr. Disney himself had a vision to change the lives of children one film at a time.

5. With persistence and dedication, sometimes the underdog can come out on top.

Being a woman in a man's world is a hard thing to do, but Mulan showed us that with hard work and dedication we can all be the people we were meant to be.

6. Things can always, always be worse.

.

Seriously, don't EVER EVER ask this question. It can ALWAYS be worse.

7. Have courage and be kind.

Courage and kindness are two traits I hope I can always maintain. I want my personality to shine like Cinderella's glass slippers.

8. Never lose hope.

Hope can sometimes be hard to hold on to when life seems to get the best of us, but if you just hold on a little longer your hope will turn into reality.

9. The right path is not always the easiest.

We are faced every day with which path we should go down. Thank you, Grandmother Willow, for reminding us that sometimes we must face difficulties to get to where we need to be to prosper and be happy.

10. Never say goodbye, just see you later.

Goodbyes are morbid. Goodbyes are filled with sadness. Goodbyes are hard. Goodbyes remind us that time is fleeting but memories are forever. See you in Neverland, Peter.

11. Always find the beauty in everything.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Choose to find the beauty rather than to overlook it. It is always right there somewhere.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
