11 Disney Movies To Help Conquer Adulting Stress
Disney Classics

As a new adult, life can get stressful. And I have no doubts that this never actually changes as life continues on. It becomes a roller coaster ride and when things start to head downhill, there is a huge need for a great escape. Be it whatever you like - vacation, spa, you name it. As a Disney lover, one of my favorite escapes happens to be a movie marathon. Anything and everything Disney - animated or not. These movies bring me back to my childhood - no deadlines, no bills, and zero responsibilities. I can’t be the only disnerd out there to feel this way either.

Cuddling up with a blanket, some snacks, and a stack of Disney movies is bliss. Here are some of my favorite marathon movies.

1. “Aladdin”

This inspirational tale is packed full of comedy and feel good emotions making it the perfect pick-me-up. One of the best things about this story is Genie, which needs no other explanation because it’s Genie.

2. “Bambi II”

Usually you hear that sequels can do zero justice for a movie. But if you have ever watched Bambi’s sequel- you know that is not always true. "Bambi II" brings so much happy feelings to the surface as it follows the young Bambi while he bonds with his dad.

3. “Beauty and the Beast”

This timeless classic will steal your heart with its endearing tale. With love, laughs, and magic, it makes for a great marathon movie. Who can ever say no to Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip?

4. “Brave”

Disney Pixar’s “Brave” is another great movie for those pick-me-up marathons. It is packed full of adventure, love, and learning. With such a strong nostalgia for family, it makes for a great take-me-back-to-my-childhood film.

5. “Finding Nemo”

There are so many feel good emotions that come along with this movie. Dory really makes this worth a watch for marathon night (or day). She knows how to keep your spirits high, even in the most frustrating of situations. After all, we all must “just keep swimming,” right?

6. “Lilo & Stitch”

Who can ever resist the adorable Stitch and his escapades with his partner in crime, Lilo? They are the epitome of childhood nostalgia.

7. “Mulan”

A tale of adventure, determination, and love- who can resist? Especially when we have Mushu and Cricket to keep our spirits high throughout the entire film, this is a must for the list!

8. “Pocahontas”

This one is hard not to have on the list when Meeko, Flit, and Percy steal the show. They bring so many smiles and laughs to anyone who watches this one.

9. “The Lion King”

Timon and Pumbaa really bring out the best in all of us when we put this movie in. The laughs they bring are priceless, making this one of the best pick-me-up movies out there.

10. “Tarzan”

There is so much love, curiosity, and adventure that spill from this movie. It is all so intoxicating and makes this a great movie for a Disney escape.

11. “Up”

The wonderful journey that is “Up” makes this a great addition to the list. Dug, Kevin, and all of the dogs in the movie allow for some great laughs and fuzzy feelings. Who can resist all of their cuteness? And the bonding between our human pals, Carl and Russell, just tops the cake.

And of course - if there are any

musical numbers - you know you can’t help but sing along because you know all of the words. That’s just what we do as Disney fans, right?!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
