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!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
