11 Life Lessons From Disney
Disney Films

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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
