21 Life Lessons Disney Movies Taught Us

1. Princess and the Frog – Never give up on your dreams.

Tiana taught us that with a little luck and a lot of hard work, no dream is too big.


2. Lilo & Stitch – Animals make better friends than humans.

This dynamic duo taught us that true friendship endures all difficulties, including an alien planet crash-landing on Earth.

3. Frozen – Family comes first.

Anna and Elsa taught us that while princes (Ugh, Hans) come and go, family is forever.

4. Finding Nemo – Never give up.

Finding Nemo taught us that even when things seem hopeless, persevere and "just keep swimming".

Also, Finding Nemo confirmed that going to the dentist is the worst.

5. Mulan – Girls can do anything boys can do, only better.

Mulan taught us that you don't have to be a boy to get things done, and by "things" I mean saving the Chinese empire from the Huns and restoring family honor.


6. Peter Pan – Growing up sucks.

Why grow old when being young is so much fun? Also, we all need a little faith, trust, and pixie dust.

7. Pocahontas – Women can be badass, too.

She paints with all the colors of the wind, enough said.

8. The Lion King – Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Worrying will only get you down. Hakuna Matata, baby.

9. Beauty and the Beast - Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Belle taught us that people's perceptions are often flawed and that true beauty comes from within.


10. Cinderella - Heels work wonders, literally.

Although, if I were made to wear glass slippers, I'd leave them on the stairs, too!

11. Alice and Wonderland - A little bit of crazy is a good thing.

Although, it's probably not a good idea to take potions from strangers.

12. Brave - Weird is cool.

Unlike most princesses, Merida was more concerned with shooting her bow and arrow then finding a prince to marry. Props to her.


13. Tangled - Get out of your comfort zone.

Rapunzel taught us that stepping out of your comfort zone (or ivy tower) almost always leads to an adventure and also, hair care is of utmost importance.

14. Up - True love lasts forever.

People may grow old, but love never does.

15. The Little Mermaid - Mermaids are MUCH cooler than humans.

I don't know what Ariel was whining about. Who needs feet when you have flippers?

16. Bambi - You can emotionally mourn the loss of an animated character.

Bambi's mom… need I say more?


17. 101 Dalmatians - Be careful who you trust.

Not everyone has good intentions, especially people who's last name begins with "Devil".

18. Toy Story - Don't underestimate the power of a sidekick.

A sidekick is the best kind of friend. They will always stand by your side (literally).


19. Tarzan - Differences are only skin-deep.

No matter where you're from or what you look like, we are not all that different on the inside.

20. Cars - Enjoy the ride.

Life is short, you might as well enjoy it and make a few friends along the way.

21. Aladdin - Be careful what you wish for.

Money and power aren't everything.

Always remember...

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them"

- Walt Disney

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.
