Do all of our favorite Disney characters have mental illnesses?

Childhood Ruined Part Five: Hundred Acre Woods!

Far, far away in the Hundred Acre Woods is a story many children and even adults know and love. But looking deeper into the story you see that not only one or two but all six main characters seem to have a mental illness.

What if these characters don��t even exist; the obvious answer is that Christopher Robin is a schizophrenic and they all exist as delusions in his mind. Why fight for friends when you can just make believe them? Childhood 101.

If we put that disturbing thought to the back of our heads for a second, then we can open our eyes to the fact of every main character could possibly have a mental illness.

The main star, Winnie The Pooh, I would say he has Impulsive and Obsessive Fixations. His obsession for honey makes him climb a tree to raid a beehive just to eat, regardless of the unknown future.

Of course the conveniently named piglet, Piglet. Piglet lives in constant stress. He is worried over the slightest everyday activity to my opinion describes General anxiety disorder. The anxiety that most people can handle day to day, is overwhelming for him.

His house has to be clean, clean, clean! Rabbit shows signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He practices military dictator-ism on his friends and is constantly cleaning.

The most blindly obvious issue of the all, Eeyore is constantly pessimistic. Eeyore shows signs of Depressive Disorder he lives his life unable to appreciate even the smallest things in life.

And of course Tigger, consistently showing signs of Attention Deficit Disorder. Not only can he not sit still but he bounces through his friend's lives like a tornado, causing chaos wherever he goes! That may remind you of some of your own friends!


This article is not to say these disorders are any laughing matter; they are serious mental health issues. This is based on opinion not me diagnosing her.

Until next time. Live, Laugh, and Prosper my friend.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
