Disney has been a huge part of our childhoods, and it has certainly taught us some valuable lessons in life. I will be listing the ten lessons I, as well as you, have learned from the magic of Disney!

1. It is okay to cry

Disney movies can be tearjerkers in general, but if you have a bad day, someone has passed away, or something else entirely, it is okay to let it out.

2. Be who you truly are

Whether it is your sexuality, political bias, or how you were raised, do not let anyone tell you who they want you to be! It is your life and it has always been!

3. Do not give up on your dreams

Dreams do come true! You just have to do everything that you can to make it into a reality!

4. Face your fears

We cannot live life having something to fear. Once you finally face your fears and conquer them, you will feel like a changed person for the better.

5. No matter your age, you can still have fun

Even if you have children or grandchildren, you can still have fun going to a theme park ride, play video games, or watch a movie with them!

6. Beauty is within, not on the outside

Appearances can be deceiving, but once you get to know the real person, you may end up becoming great friends with them, or even fall in love and eventually become your soulmate!

7. Spend more time with the ones you love

Whether it is your best friend or your significant other, life is too short to not spend enough time with them!

8. Your hard work will pay off


You may end up getting what you deserve whether getting good grades in school, helping your community, and more!

9. Honesty is important

It is better to tell someone what is bothering you than to lie. You know what they say, "Honesty is the best policy!"

10. Just keep swimming

If you feel the whole world is crashing down on you, keep going forward. Your conflicts will resolve eventually and you will overcome your troubles!

No matter what you say in your rebellious years, Disney always gets you. The movies will always provide amazing lessons for us to learn and to pass down to friends, children, and even your elders!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
