5 Ways We Are All Secretly Moana's Clumsy Chicken Heihei

I know I'm a little late to the bandwagon, but I finally got around to watching "Moana" with my sister. Oh my goodness, my only complaint is that I hadn't watched it sooner. There are so many great things about this movie, from the spectacular animation and scenery to the incredibly fun characters and the endearingly quirky soundtrack. It's a cheesy narrative told in a refreshingly new way, and I absolutely adore it.

One of my favorite things about the movie is Moana's oddball pet chicken, Heihei. For those of you who don't know Heihei, here's a nice compilation of his best moments.

Essentially, Heihei is a very simple chicken. He tries but oftentimes falls short of his intentions. By a lot. Such is life, however, and our beloved chicken's attempts at surviving are probably a lot like yours. Here are five moments in the movie when Heihei is practically another version of us all.


Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers for the movie "Moana."


1. He looks around and panics when he realizes he's in way over his head.

Come on. We've all done it. Maybe you got a plate full of food and realized halfway through that you couldn't finish it. Maybe you offered to do a favor for a friend and underestimated the complexity of the task. Maybe you let yourself get carried away by an idea, long before fully understanding just how much work had to go into it. Regardless, there's no way that you haven't at some point in your life started something and then later had doubts about your ability to cope with that something.

2. He stands confidently and pretends like he knows what he's doing.

Most of us have at some point found ourselves in a situation where there's a lot expected of us. Admitting you know nothing about the subject at hand was not an option. Therefore, you had to stand there, bluff your way through the presentation or conversation and just hope for the best. This works with varying degrees of success. Sometimes you pull it off, and everyone is none the wiser. Sometimes, though... you just end up looking like an idiot.

3. Occasionally, he just needs a push in the right direction.

None of us are perfect. We have all needed help at some point in our lives. It is absolutely impossible to get through life without help! Be it from family, friends, a teacher or that random guy who gave you a dollar one time, a little help goes a long way. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance next time you forget how to peck at seeds.

4. He's bone-tired after a long day.

If this isn't #relatable, then I don't know what is. It's honestly me every Friday afternoon. You just want to get home from school or work and collapse on the nearest piece of furniture. Normally, this is accompanied by feeling either relieved that the week is over or feeling despondent about all the things that you have to finish that weekend.

5. He's capable of growth.

Everyone can grow, whether they believe it or not. Throughout the movie, Heihei seems like nothing but, well... a dumb chicken. When it really matters, though, he pulls through and gives Moana the Heart of Tefiti instead of swallowing it like he's done with all the other rocks he'd encountered in the movie.

You're a different person than you were five years ago, and you'll probably be a different person five years in the future. You'll get through whatever's troubling you. If this chicken is capable of growth and learning, then you definitely are, too. You've gotten this far, haven't you?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

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.
