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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
