10 Must-See Disney Movies

Take a trip back to your childhood with these classics:

1. The Lion King (1994)

One of the most tear jerking and memorable Disney movies of all time. Not only was the first movie one to love forever, but the series as well that included The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (1998) and The Lion King 1 ½ (2004). This movie was based off of the idea of Hamlet.

2. Hercules (1997)

Hercules was said to be the son of Zeus and the human Alcmene who was well known for his incredible strength and pervasive journey’s. The cartoon tells a story of a baby that was taken by Hades henchmen but then ended up on Earth with a mortal family who raised him as their own. Throughout his life he was treated like a freak until he fought to save the lives on both of his worlds and falls in love with a mortal by the name of Megara or Meg for short.


3. The Black Cauldron (1985)

This movie was not given as much credit as it should have; in my opinion, as someone who has grown up watching and reciting every line of this movie. The Black Cauldron takes place in the dark ages of a mythical land called Prydain where an evil by the name of the Horned King hopes to conquer the world with the power of a magical cauldron. In reaction to this Taran, whom is a young pig keeper, looks to prevent this from happening and acts to destroy the cauldron with the help of a princess named Eilonwy and a creature named Gurgi.


4. Lady and The Tramp (1955)

The total ‘bad boy is only good for his good girl’ romance, cartoon movie that had kids completely obsessed. A movie that teaches girls that you should never change yourself in order to be with someone you love. If they truly love you, they'll fight for you and, no matter what, still be there in the end.

5. Peter Pan (1953)

Wendy and her brothers are brought into the magical world of Neverland by a hero whom, throughout their childhood, was a hero told in their stories. He constantly fights the evil Captain Hook who wishes to destroy him and use his fairy friend, Tinkerbell, for her magic. Peter Pan was said to be an angel who took kids to heaven soon after they passed.

6. Bambi (1942)

Bambi was a simple childhood film that is about a young white-tailed deer, his parents, and his friends Thumper, Flower, and Faline (a childhood friend and future partner for Bambi). I would tell you what happens next, but you have to watch it to find out!

7. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

One of the first films that taught kids that a good personality goes way above a

pretty face. This film is centered around Quasimodo, a deformed bell ringer who struggles to be accepted by society (oh how can we relate).

8. The Sword in the Stone (1963)

This film just so happened to be the last animated film that Disney had released before Walt Disney’s death. The plot is centered around the death of the King of England Arthur, a 12-year-old orphan, who is raised by a wizard named Merlin and is declared king by pulling an in scripted sword from an anvil. This film is a definite, must see movie!

9. Beauty and the Beast (1991)

This movie was one of the few (such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Little Mermaid, etc.) that had little girls wishing for their own prince charming and happy ending. Yes, this movie has the semi-same idea as Lady and the Tramp; except that this movie’s main concept was to promote the motto “don’t judge a book by its cover”.


10. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

This movie was either one you’ve watched a thousand times or not at all. Atlantis was Disney’s first animated science fiction film ever made. The film is about a young man, Milo Thatch, who finds a journal that leads him and group of money-grubbing people to the lost city of Atlantis. There’s also a twist in romance that you possibly never saw coming!

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.
