11 Life Lessons From Disney

Here are mine—what are yours?

In times of trouble, or when I'm feeling down, some of the fondest memories I call upon to make me feel better involve Disney movies. I absolutely love how they make you feel! Their stories always seem to strike just the right chord with us, and through heart-touching stories, music, and characters, they leave you with the right heart and spirit to take on the real world-- making you twitterpated, getting rid of your worries (and your strifes) for the rest of your days, and helping you find the element of fun in every job that must be done.

If you grew up watching Disney movies, then there's probably plenty of words of wisdom that can give you a boost when life gives you more lemons. Now lets look back at some of our beloved Disney characters, and get a little reminder if you're in need of some Disney inspiration:

1. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Belle found something really special in The Beast by opening him up and (metaphorically, of course) seeing inside. We should try that with the seemingly beastly people we might know in our lives—who knows? There may be something there we didn't see before!

2. Adventure is out there!

Whether you're an old retired widow or a talking dog, adventure is out there! Go find it!

3. You're the one who can fill the world with sunshine!

Take Snow White's mantra with you every day, and be the sunshine this world needs!

4. If the shoe fits, wear it (to a magnificent ball!)

Cinderella didn't ask for a fairy godmother, but she needed a miracle. When an opportunity comes your way, take it!

5. When life gets you down, just keep swimming!

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do you do? You swim, swim, swim.

6. Try to look from a different angle.

Hiro Hamada solved many problems by looking at them another way! You can too!

7. We might ask God for an angel, but sometimes, he sends a dog.

Be honest—it was the dog that rescued you.

8. Love is putting someone else's needs before your own.

Like Kristoff did! Do the same, and hopefully you can find someone that will reciprocate with you!

9. Heroes come in all species and sizes.

Judy AND Nick couldn't have done it all without each other!

10. Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.

Take it from our favorite Willow—sometimes doing the harder thing is the better thing.

And finally:

11. IT'S A TRAP

Have a magical day!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

224

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
