No more Cinderella.

Heaven knows we don't need another Cinderella remake, Frozen is still too popular for its own good, and Lion King is too pure to be touched. However, there are still plenty of movies out there that could benefit from a live action remake.

1. Mulan:

I already know that this is in production, but it took long enough! Imagine the settings, the action scenes, the endless list of actors to choose from! Personally, I wonder what they plan to do with Mushu; hopefully they plan to keep him around and still have Eddie Murphy voice him, but we shall see.

2. Atlantis: The Lost Empire:

The original movie was a bit underrated, but it definitely wasn't one of Disney's better films. If any film could benefit from a live action remake, it would definitely be this one. The animation was already beautiful and the music was top-notch, but a little polishing to make it look less like a rough draft for what should have been an amazing movie couldn't hurt.

3. The Little Mermaid:

I want a live-action of the Little Mermaid where they stick to the original story! That's right, I want the original tragic story on the big screen simply because I feel it would be far more emotionally involving and people would be more drawn to the main character. Granted, Ariel is one of the more popular princesses and her movie is still talked about today, but what if it took a slightly darker tone? If you haven't read the original story, you're missing out!

4. Aladdin:

Mostly out of respect for the late Robin Williams, wouldn't it be cool if the movie from all from the point of view of the Genie? I want a story of how the Genie ended up inside the lamp, how he ended up in the cave of wonders, and how he acted upon Aladdin becoming his master. Throw a wicked Jafar in there and you've got the makings of a fantastic movie! And if Gary Oldman was casted as the new Jafar, I would have no complaints.

5. Pocahontas:

Personally, I want to see a more historically accurate version of this film. Yes, I want to see Pocahontas as a child without any romantic ties to anyone, but I still want some of the Disney magic to remain. If that means still having talking animals, a singing tree, or prancing through very colorful leaves while singing, so be it. Honestly, the story of a child stopping a low-key war between two rivaling cultures would be far more entertaining than a happy-ending Romeo and Juliet story.

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.
