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

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
