If Disney Princesses Went to College

They just want to be part of our world.

If Disney Princesses Went to College

Growing up, every little girl wanted to be a princess. More specifically, we all wanted to be a Disney princess. But instead, I faced the facts I would never be a Disney princess and decided to go to college and major in accounting and English. While I still sometimes wish I could just be a Disney princess, I feel like the Disney princesses wish they could go to college and be a little more like me. So, if Disney princesses ever did go to college, here's what they would major in.

Ariel - Speech-Language Pathology

Ariel knows all about not being able to speak. She walked around for days without a voice trying to make a prince fall in love with her. I feel like after going through her ordeal, Ariel would want to make sure no one was ever voiceless again. She would spend her time studying speech and helping others learn how to speak better.


Rapunzel - Art

So I'm sure you've seen "Tangled", aka the best Disney princess movie, and you know how much Rapunzel loved to paint. She painted all over the walls of her house (something most of us would've gotten in trouble for). Sure, you may be thinking that with that long, blonde hair, she may be more suited for cosmetology. I mean, if you can take care of that mane, you can make anyone's hair look good. And for a while, I thought that, too, until I realized that painting was her passion - not her hair.


Princess Aurora - Fashion Merchandising

Also known as "Sleeping Beauty", Aurora would have majored in fashion merchandising. That color changing dress was a classic (even if the fairies were technically the ones making it change color). Plus, she was gifted with a natural touch for a spinning wheel (get my pun there?), so we know she would have to have some natural talent.


Belle - Library and Information Science

Belle was an avid reader, with the Beast gifting her with a library full of all the books she could ever possibly read. Belle, with her inquisitive and knowledge seeking nature, would have no doubt majored in Library and Information Science, a degree that would have allowed her to go to work in a library or archive center and spend her days amongst the books.


Jasmine - Zoology

This girl knows how to handle her tiger. Jasmine's pet tiger, Raja, makes me think that Jasmine would make a great Zoology major. I feel like she would be best suited helping out Agrabah's sandy landscape and the people and animals who live there. As a princess, she is already in a position to better the lives of her subjects.


Cinderella - Hospitality Management

Cinderella may have been bossed around all the time by her step-sisters and step-mother, but she really did handle it well. I would have gone off on them multiple times, but Cindy kept her cool. Her good manners and ability to be a great "homemaker" make her an ideal major for a hospitality management major. She'd be able to deal with whoever came her way.


Tiana - Culinary Arts

So this one is obviously a given. Tiana wanted to open and cook for her own restaurant, and culinary arts is the major that makes the most sense for her. Her undoubtedly delicious food would be full of southern and cajun flavors. She's a hard worker, and even without a culinary education, she was already one of the best chefs in town.


Merida - Feminist Studies

Ah, Merida, I Disney princess that I dislike almost as much as Snow White. Yeah, Merida is a good role model in some aspects like refusing to an arranged marriage, but I can't help but kind of see her as a brat. She reminds me of myself at her age, and that's not really a good thing. Nonetheless, Merida is an iconic feminist now, and obviously her studies would be about continuing and spreading independence.


Snow White - MRS

Yeah, I know it isn't a real degree, but I feel like it's the only one Snow White would be able to get. She was a fairly useless Disney princess, in my opinion. Her only redeeming quality was that she was a good homemaker, something I am definitely not. She cleaned up for seven men while hiding from the bully queen who wanted her gone because she was too pretty. Then she waited for her prince to come kiss her awake. Total MRS degree seeker.


Mulan - Mechanical Engineering

Mulan was the only woman to join the war against the Huns, even if she did have to dress up like a man to do it. The most logical major for her would be mechanical engineering because of the large gender gap. Over 90% of mechanical engineering majors are male, even if that number has started to (slightly) shift to include more women over the last couple of years. Mulan was strong and capable, and her rooftop shenanigans and blasting the last bomb into the top of the mountain showed that she was resourceful and probably mathematically minded anyway


Pocahontas - International Studies

Pocahontas, the princess of a Native American tribe, traveled across the ocean to England with John Rolfe in "Pocahontas II" (also in real life). She learned all about their cultures, and then she returned to her homeland in America, bringing back everything she had learned during her time in Europe. *Side note: this is not what happened in real life, but the Disney version goes with this theme much better.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
