Life Lessons From Disney Villains

What can we take from the "bad guys?"

The evilest time of year is among us! What villain doesn't love a good scare? Growing up watching Disney movies, I learned a lot. Most of the main storylines involved rescuing princesses, learning you could fly, or learning that you can simply do or be anything. But as I grew older I almost looked at the villains, or bad guys, of the story to see what they could teach me. These are their stories and what we can take from them.

1. Ursula from "The Little Mermaid"

Being two-faced doesn't get you anywhere.

2. Cruella de Vil from "101 Dalmatians"

Be nice to puppies, and all animals in general.

3. Scar from "The Lion King"

Your past can come back to haunt you. #LongLivetheKing

4. Captian Hook from "Peter Pan"

We all have fears...tick tock, tick tock.

5. The Evil Queen from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

An apple a day... if it's not sketch.

6. Jafar from "Aladdin"

Be careful what you wish for.

7. Sid from "Toy Story"

Kids can be evil.

8. Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast"

Always shoot for the best.

9. Hades from "Hercules"

Don't mess with the "Big Man Upstairs."

10. Mother Gothel from "Tangled"

Mother knows best, always.

11. The Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland"

Don't let power go to your head.

12. The Shadow Man from "The Princess and the Frog"

Don't make deals with the devil.

13. King Louie from "The Jungle Book"

Don't play with fire.

14. Yzma from "The Emperor's New Groove"

Don't rely on others to do your dirty work. They might get sidetracked and talk to squirrels.

15. Edgar from "The Aristocats"

Never try to get rid of the family pet.

16. Madame Medusa from "The Rescuers"

Always look fierce and keep looking for the Devil's Eye.

17. Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

If she's not into you, get over it, don't burn down half of Paris over it.

18. The Sanderson Sisters from "Hocus Pocus"

Keep trying, even if it takes 300 hundred years. Oh, and sisterly love.

19. Hans from "Frozen"

Don't come between siblings.

20. The Evil Stepmother/Lady Tremaine from "Cinderella"

Pets are loyal. And don't try to cover up your mistakes.

So even though they are wicked in their ways, we can still look to them as role models...kind of. Thanks, to villains and all you spooky bad guys!

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

Helen Horton

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

Endicott College

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

10 Things About Finals Week

As told by "Parks and Recreation" GIFs.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
