7 Of The Best 'Beauty And The Beast' Quotes
Jessica Elman

Working at a summer camp, I was recently tasked with choosing a Disney movie theme and creating posters to decorate my hallway. I chose Beauty and the Beast, and by creating many posters revolving around the movie, I realized how many important messages and quotes the movie has, so here are a few!

1. “She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within”

This quote really demonstrates what the movie is about. Belle falls in love with the beast despite his exterior, because she can see beyond the way he looks and see him for who he is on the inside.

2. “Love does not have the be perfect, it just has to be true”

In today’s society, posting about every aspect of your life on social media is so common, but people only post the good. For relationships, the same is true — people post and publicize the happy times in their relationships, and this creates an unrealistic sense of perfection. There is no such thing as a perfect love, but there is such thing as a true love.

3. “You do not have time to be timid, you must be bold, daring”

This quote was said by Lumière and it is an important thing to keep in mind if you are in a situation of feeling uncertain or shy. Lumière emphasizes that we do not have time to live our lives being shy and scared to do the things that we want to do.

4. “It will turn out alright in the end, you will see”

Mrs. Potts is not only the mother of Chip, but a motherly figure to many throughout the movie. She is positive and reassuring, as shown by this quote. It is important to believe that everything will work out in the end, and that no matter what you are going through at the moment, it will be okay eventually.

5. “Sometimes, the best book has the dustiest cover and sometimes, the best teacup is chipped”

Not only is this quote absolutely adorable, but it has a good message. Nothing in life is perfect, and we need to be thankful for what we have, despite its flaws — whether that is related to people or tangible objects. I also love the part about the dusty book because it circles back to not being fooled by appearances.

6. “I want an adventure in the great, wide somewhere”

Millenials are shown to prefer spending money on experiences such as concerts or traveling as opposed to material objects. Belle’s modesty in Beauty and the Beast really exemplifies this and shows us that it is vital to adventure and get out of your comfort zone in order to live life to the fullest.

7. “Take it with you so you will always have a way to look back, and remember me”

The Beast says this as he gives Belle a gift, but even if there were no physical gift, the lesson is still just as important. Even when people leave our life and go different ways, it is not bad to reminisce and remember the way things used to be.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
