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!

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.
