4 Reasons Why 'The Cheetah Girls' Is The Best Movie
Metro Lyrics

In 2003, back when I was at the young age of six, one of the most amazing movies to ever come through Disney Channel was released. At such an impressionable age, I was exposed to all these ideas of how strong I can be and how amazing it is to accept and work with others. Two more movies later and a year in college down, I am still loving and jamming out hard to these songs. When I look back and remember the Cheetah Girls Concert I attended in fourth grade (one of the best moments of my young life), I know I didn't really get the importance of the lyrics then, but the meanings still hold strong now. With everything that's been going on in the news lately, it's nice to reminisce in these buts from the past and try and stay positive with the help of strong, empowering lyrics written for a movie about an all girl singing group named after a big cat.

1. "Cheetah Sisters"

This song is by far one of the greatest songs I heard as a child. The meaning behind it flows through years of movie watchers and is still relevant even today. The song goes on to say that the Cheetah girls have fought hard for what they have and deserve respect for putting in that hard work. It also says that even when you're at your worst and you feel like giving up, you have to be strong and always know that someone will have your back. The most important message from this song, by far, is that you should stand together with no matter your differences. We can all make each other stronger if we just work together and love each other for who we are.

2. "Cinderella"

This has probably become my favorite song of all time because of how empowering it is so girls. It's all about how women don't need to wait for a guy to come along and help them but that they can help themselves. It shows that we are strong enough to rescue ourselves and that we are equal to men. One of the best lines is: "I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me; when I give myself, then it has got to be an equal thing." This perfectly states that men and women should be there for each other.

3. "Girl Power"

The title pretty much gives away what the whole thing is about, but this song is filled to the brim with lyrics to empower not only girls, but anyone. It's all about how no matter how much you're beaten down, no matter how hard things get, you will survive and come out of it stronger that before. It also speaks on how you should always stay true to who you really are and never change for anyone.

4. "Together We Can"

This song may have a pretty basic meaning to it, but the title alone sets a thought into the minds of young viewers showing that we can work together for a common goal. The song is delivered in such an upbeat and powerful way that it really gets you excited about working together.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
