10 Reasons Why Belle Is The Best Disney Love Story Princess

On Friday the studio released some photos of the up and coming live action version of "Beauty and the Beast." The photos gave a sneak peek at Beast, Gaston, and Lumiere and Cogsworth. Though those were really cool stills, I was depressed they didn’t throw in an image of my favorite Disney heroine, Belle. It would have been perfect since it was women’s equality day, and who better to be seen as a great role model than Belle in a love story? From a young age, I saw her as a role model. Not only can she pull off yellow, but Belle is a Disney Princess who doesn’t believe she needs a man, though she finds one. So here’s why Belle is a the best Disney love story princess.

1. She's friendly, even to the furniture—talking furniture that would scare the crap out of any human being...

2. She doesn’t believe it’s just a man’s world, and refuses to submit to Gaston’s advances though he doesn’t appreciate her.

Just because you're hot doesn't mean you're my type...


3. She’s a bookworm and isn’t ashamed of reading in the middle of town with sheep everywhere. She's also not stuck up and knows a well loved book may get a little injured. I mean, we can't always predict if a sheep is going to take a bite out of our favorite book or not...

4. She sees past the Beast's exterior and accepts him.


5. She’s like the honey badger. She’s an outcast that doesn't give a sh*t.

Equates to:

6. She doesn't suffer from Stockholm Syndrome though some people would like you to believe it. The Beast's staff may try to manipulate her into loving him...

But she falls on her own...

7. Unlike some people, she doesn't make fun of Beast for his inability to read. She helps him learn, which is more than I can say for some teachers today.

8. She makes yellow work as a dress color and pulls it off well.

9. Belle sees through Beast’s tough exterior and acknowledges that he's struggling. She helps him cope and falls for who he is—not because he's beautiful like Gaston, but because he accepts her to be herself too. I mean, he gave her a freaking library!

10. She’s being played by the amazing Emma Watson, who’s just as bada** as Belle. I mean, who better to play Belle than a feminist who wants equality for all! Just like how Belle breaks the Disney stereotype of the “possession Princess” and wants the Beast to be seen as everyone’s equal too…

I love romances, and "Beauty and the Beast" has to be one of the best. Compared to other love stories, Belle definitely one ups all the other princesses. Therefore, I can’t wait for Disney’s new live action "Beauty and the Beast." Just this teaser alone made me squeal!

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.
