11 Reasons Why Princess Mia Was Your Role Model
Real Mom Reviews

I grew up watching "Princess Diaries" and "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," which I am so grateful for. Disney gave my generation a quirky relatable character to look up to. Princess Mia taught us we didn't have to be in the popular crowd and that you can overcome your fear of public speaking. This film includes many important quotes such as the famous line "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all." Not only did Princess Mia have the coolest grandma ever, but she taught us that inner beauty mattered.

1) She wasn't perfect

Learning to drive can be hard.

2) This moment

Such a sweet scene. I love how observant and caring Princess Mia is.

3) She was honest

Genuine compliments are the best kind.

4) She expressed her feelings

5) She embraced her awkwardness

6) She was realistic


We've all been there.

7) She knew to choose a guy that truly liked her for herself

She realized who's been there all along.

8) She acknowledged the world doesn't revolve around herself

We all tend to get caught up every now and then.

9) She owned up to her mistakes and apologized

People make mistakes and giving pizza never hurts.

10) She stood up for herself


She learned you can't let people walk over you.

11) She was willing to break the social norm

You go girl!

I am forever wishing Genovia was a real place so I could visit.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
