12 Things That Disney Princesses' Have Taught Me

We all grew up watching princess movies. It has always been something dear to our hearts. Well, for me anyway. Every Disney movie has a lot of great values to them that have helped form who we are today, but have you ever thought about some of the Disney princesses’ good intentions be taken the wrong way? Here is a list of things that Disney princesses taught me:

1. Cinderella taught me that it’s perfectly okay to marry someone for money


I mean think about it… She lived in terrible living conditions with a step family that treated her very poorly and the first man that shows interest in her, she falls in love with, and don’t forget that he’s a prince!

2. Snow White taught me it’s okay to take food from strangers


When there is a creepy old lady, that you have never met, in the woods, persisting that you eat this apple because of how wonderful it is, you should take it! Seems legit.

3. Mulan taught me that if you aren’t wearing makeup and your hair isn’t down, you automatically look like a male.

This part always got me. Remember when they found out she was a woman and Chi Fu threw her out in the snow and no one could tell she was a woman until he took down her hair? Or when she finally meets Shan Yu and he doesn’t know she was until she puts her hair up?

4. Ariel taught me that if you deliberately disobey your parents, you will live happily ever after

King Tyrant told Ariel to stay away from Ursula and from the humans or something bad would happen. Well, she has a voice taken away.

5. Elsa taught me it’s always best to run away from your problems.

The first thing Elsa does when people find out about her problems was run away and built a big ice castle in the middle of a mountain. Trying to talk things out was not a strong point in this movie.

6. Jasmine taught me to have unrealistic hair expectations.

So did Pocahontas… and Rapunzel… and Ariel… well really every Disney princess.

7. Rapunzel taught me that I should trust a random man who breaks into my house and go on an adventure with him

.

Even though they are so adorable together, Repunzel really should have thought twice about going with this guy, he could’ve been escaping from murdering someone!

8. Belle taught me that if a man verbally abuses me, I should fall in love with him.

He throws her into a dungeon, yells at her, and says mean things to her, but she still falls helplessly in love. Sounds like a great idea. #relationshipgoals

9. Auroa taught me that you can fall in love with someone you barely know.

How long were they in the woods for, maybe two minutes?

10. Cinderella also taught me that if you wish hard enough and wait long enough, something good will happen to you.

Cinderella just waits for her fairy godmother to save the day. She could’ve just said, “Screw you” and left, got a job, and learned how to be independent. But, nahhh.

11. All of these movies taught me that if you’re old or ugly, you’re automatically evil



Jafar, old and ugly; Ursula, ugly; Shan Yu, ugly; Mother Gothel, old, and the list goes on and on.

12. Getting married at sixteen is perfectly okay.

Nuff said.

You might think twice next time you watch these. You’re welcome for forever ruining these wonderful Disney movies!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
