"The Princess Bride" is a classic; debating that isn't worth it. Whether you prefer the book, the movie, or however you get your fix of that fantasy land, it's undeniably special and altogether worth it. Below, a review guide of all the lessons the ultimate princess story taught us.

1. It has what brings us together today.

Please don't skip to the end like Prince Humperdinck wanted to, even if you're hurrying to force marriage on a princess. Also, maybe reconsider that.

2. It taught us to respect others.

Even and especially those we were intending to duel. Definitely when you're about to fight to the death. Honor is important to those of us who sword-fight often.

3. Westley gave us intense bae-goals.

Don't you want someone to do what you ask them to, with or without the initial sarcasm?

4. Always remember that there could always be worse.

He was only mostly-dead, after all. He could have been all dead.

5. Inigo's passion was more than inspiring.

Revenge, passion, it all depends on how you frame it. Either way, great resolve.

6. Westley gave us some serious life advice.

Don't fall trap to those cheery salesmen with incentives like money and happiness.

7. It provided a very important vocabulary lesson for us all.

Inconceivable; adj, not capable of being imagined, or grasped, mentally. Unimaginable.

8. And then reminded us to question those lessons.

9. Prince Humperdinck makes sure we always prioritize.

Planning is important. Keep track of tasks, with something like a to-do list.

10. Vizzini reminded us to keep our heads up.

Never get involved with a land war in Asia. Or go against a Sicilian when death is on the line--though that is slightly less known. Slightly.

11. Westley taught us to throw shade like no other.

Never underestimate the power of the ol' buffoon line. Good way to get under the skin of your nemesis.

12. Because yes, it is a kissing book.

And we all love it.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
