If you know me, you know that I love Disney movies. Disney is known for its princesses, catchy songs and happily ever afters. As a self-proclaimed Disney aficionado, I would like to argue that Disney movies are more than just entertainment. I grew up watching Disney movies and still enjoy them to this day. They are filled to the brim with life advice, but at the same time, keep viewers interested by adding humor and catchy songs. I mean, is there really a better combination? I've never understood why my youngest sister has never really been into Disney movies, because my other sister and I adore them. Maybe it is because she wants to grow up so badly, and we just wish we were kids again ... Hey, we can dream! Regardless, I have decided to compile a list of 20 nuggets of wisdom that Disney characters have dropped over the years. Enjoy!

1. Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it.

2. You give up a few things, chasing a dream.

3. The past can hurt ... but you can either run from it or learn from it.

4. Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them. [touché]

5. Look for the bare necessities ... forget about your worries and your strife.

6. We can't change who we are; and the sooner you accept that, the better off your life will be.

7. All people matter.

8. If watching is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without you.

9. The human world is a mess.

10. You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.

11. The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake...

12. Sometimes the wrong things may be right and the right things may be wrong.

13. Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean it's wrong.

14. It'll turn out alright in the end. You'll see.

15. You've gotta put your past behind you.

16. The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

17. When a woman says later, she really means never.

18. You just focused on the bad stuff when all you had to do was let go of the past and keep moving forward...

19. The dream that you wish will come true.

20. If you don't think, you shouldn't talk.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
