14 Things Disney Movies Taught Me

Just like most of us, I grew up on Disney movies. By watching these, not only did I realize I needed to be able to sing like an angel and have hair down to my ankles in order to be beautiful, but I learned many other valuable life lessons as well. Who needs school or mature, adult role models when you could have cartoon princesses and talking animals to show you right from wrong?

  1. "The Little Mermaid" — Change yourself for a man. It doesn't matter if it means giving up the one thing that defines you and makes you happy.
  2. "Beauty and the Beast" — Stockholm Syndrome is really romantic.
  3. "Aladdin" — No one will love you unless you're rich or from a well to-do family. Also having a tiger as a pet is very safe.
  4. "Sleeping Beauty" — Why have an alarm clock when a prince can kiss you instead?
  5. "Cinderella" — The only way you'll make an impression on a man is by what you're wearing. Also, if birds don't help you get dressed, you're doing it wrong, peasant.
  6. "Frozen" — Isolating yourself from the people you love is a great way to deal with your problems
  7. "Tangled" — Other people just aren't as pretty as those with long blonde hair.
  8. "Snow White" — Living in a house with seven men is totally normal.
  9. "Mulan" — No one will take you seriously unless you're a man (oh wait this is actually true).
  10. "Pocahantas" — The story of the white man and the Native Americans is a tender love story , not a story that ends in innocent people being savagely murdered and forced out of their homes!
  11. "Finding Nemo"/"Finding Dory"Mental health problems are ... uh ... great comedic fun?
  12. "Toy Story"Your childhood fear that your toys could come alive behind your back ... is actually true! Yikes!
  13. "Monsters Inc" — (See "Toy Story")
  14. "Inside Out"Never move to San Fransisco because it will crush you emotionally and ruin your life.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
