Who doesn't love "The Little Mermaid"? There's just something about this story that keeps us hooked (pardon the pun). Disney really outdid themselves with this movie, because not only did they give us a fabulous plot, fun dialogue, and great music, but some of our most important life lessons! Take these tips from Ariel and let Disney wisdom be "part of your world!"

1. A few minutes of eavesdropping is the perfect foundation for true love.

How else would you find out information about a man?

2. Breaking the rules and disrespecting your father is all good as long as you're in love.

Rules are meant to be broken, right?

3. At 16, you aren't a child anymore.

I'm not sure if it was the sneaking around, lying, yelling, crying, or all-out rebellion, but I'm completely convinced she's right. Seriously, Triton. Can't you see the maturity here?

4. Flirting with a statue isn't creepy at all.

Need I say more?

5. A deal with the sea witch is sure to work out.

What could possibly go wrong?

6. Your voice needs to be heard.

Oh, wait. Maybe that wasn't the point here.

7. You can always manipulate your friends into helping you get what you want.

They'll forgive you later.

8. It doesn't matter if he knows your name. It's all good.

Romance doesn't require such details.

9. Your goal, ladies? Get him to kiss you—that's what really matters.

Even if he's not ready, just go for it. You are on a time crunch, after all.

10. Go ahead and abandon your family for a man. This marriage is sure to be golden.

After a whirlwind three-day romance, what else is there to do but get married? Family and friends are nice, but this is love.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm set for life! Thanks, Disney!

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.
