I remember watching Mulan for the very first time when I was just a small, unwoke child. Here I was just sitting there minding my own business when my mom pops in Disney's Mulan on VHS into my TV. Let me tell you, my entire world changed that day. Mulan was heroic, defied the odds, and was so down to Earth and funny. If you have not seen this movie (I am looking at all of you men intimidated by Disney princesses), I highly recommend going onto the nearest Netflix account and watching. I must have watched and rewinded that VHS tape about 100 times. Everything about this movie is fantastic: the characters, the soundtrack and the art. Here are ten gifs from Mulan that can relate to you in everyday life:


1. Mulan taught me that it is okay to make a mess every once in a while:


2. And that it's not the end of the world if things don't go as planned:



3. Mulan showed me that if you put your mind to it, you can be one of the greats:



4. It's also okay to be imperfect:



5. Mulan taught me the value of friendship:



6. And to be true to yourself:



7. If you put your mind on something, you can accomplish anything:



8. Sometimes, it is alright to fake it 'till you make it:



9. Mulan taught me that women too can fight and be strong:



10. Most importantly, the flower that blooms last is the most beautiful of all:

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
