The 1998 Disney movie "Mulan" is about a Chinese girl who takes her ill father's spot in the military so he would not be drafted. The story was intended to portray bravery and feminine ability and power, and it did so without a doubt in the 1998 debut.

Since "Mulan,"several other animated Disney movies have made their way on the big screen again through live action such as "Peter Pan" (2003), "Cinderella" (2015), "Maleficent" (2014), and now, "Mulan."

However, the screenplay was leaked recently, and Disney-lovers have not taken so kindly to it.

Instead of Mulan posing as a male soldier to save her father, the story line is based on a European sailor who saves Mulan and steals her heart. Yes, a European sailor.

Above: How Mulan might end up looking in the new live action movie if it is white-washed.

The focus on romantic plot and the straying from Asian culture have fans outraged about the white-centric screenplay writers. Many people have expressed their opposition through Twitter, trending the hashtag #MakeMulanRight. Also, the petition "Tell Disney you don't want a whitewashed Mulan!" already has 107,000 signers.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
