The Princess Bride has seen me through many a hard time throughout my life. Having been indoctrinated in to the film's fan base from a young age, this epic-action-adventure-fantasy-romance film has stayed with me for as long as I can remember. It has shaped me in more ways than I can fully articulate. But that won't stop me from trying! And so, here are seven life lessons I've learned from The Princess Bride.

1. If you're not sure whether or not your crush likes you back, just ask them for a ridiculous amount of obscure favors. If they really love you, they'll look at you with those dreamy bedroom eyes and say:

2. Assume everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is trap

3. Always make sure to look up big words before you use them, lest you look like a huge ass hat in front of your cool Spanish friend.

4. Money can't buy happiness, no matter how hard our capitalist society will try and convince you.

5. Never get involved in a land war in Asia and...

6. Even miracles take time

7. Never give up on your dreams

8. And most of all, Love is the greatest thing in the world!

...Except a nice mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich mmmhmm!
