Life Lessons As Told By The Hannah Montana Movie Soundtrack
Hannah Montana Wiki

Anyone that grew up in the 2000's knows of and has most likely seen the Hannah Montana movie. I remember having sleepovers with my friends to watch the debut on Disney Channel, and since then have watched it multiple times. The soundtrack of this movie is what makes it so good. Almost every song contains really profound life advice, and then there's a few that are just, well, good songs. Here's a song by song breakdown of the best songs of the soundtrack.

You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home

No matter how far you go, home will always be home. And it will always be there for you. “You can change your hair. You can change your clothes. You can change your mind, that’s just the way it goes. You can say goodbye, and you can say hello. You’ll always find your way back home. Your best friends, your little hometown are waiting up wherever you go now.”

The Good Life

This song gives an example of bad advice and what not to focus on. Material things won’t bring you happiness. Life is good because you are living it, not because of what you own.

Don’t Walk Away

Don’t give up when you have something rare and amazing. And don’t put up with some boy who wants to just walk away when things get tough. “Don't walk away when I'm talkin' to you. This ain't no time for your bad attitude. Don't gimme that face when you know I'm really down for the chase because my hearts already in it and I'm never gonna quit it.”

Hoedown Throwdown

Well, I guess this technically isn’t life advice or anything serious. But it's still a great dance. “Pop it, lock it, polka-dot it. Countrify it then hip-hop it. Put your hawk in the sky, and move side-to-side.”

Dream

This one doesn’t need an explanation - it’s all in the lyrics. “Go out on a limb and just dream. Paint a picture, choose your colors extra wise. Do you know it's good to feel too much? The more you dream about me, the more that I believe. Nothing's ever out of reach, so dream, dream, dream.”

The Climb

You can’t forget about this iconic song. It got every 11-year-old through their tough life. “There's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be an uphill battle, sometimes I'm gonna have to lose. Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side. It's the climb. The struggles I'm facing and the chances I'm taking sometimes might knock me down, but no, I'm not breaking. I may not know it, but these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most.” I really could include the lyrics in its entirety, but maybe just go listen to the song once, twice, or seventeen times.

Butterfly Fly Away

Time flies by, and all of a sudden you’ve grown up and become a butterfly (or just an adult). It’s never planned, it just happens. Life just happens. “You don't understand. It's not anything we planned and kind of makes you think it's meant to be. It's a destiny. I always knew the day would come when you'd stop crawling and start to run, as beautiful as can be.”

Backwards (by Rascal Flatts)

This is another song that doesn’t necessarily have coherent life advice in the lyrics. But, if you want to know what you get when you play a country song backward, then you came to the right place. “You get your house back. You get your dog back. You get your best friend, Jackson, back. You get your truck back. You get your hair back. You get your first and second jobs back, your front porch swing, going ding-a-ling-a-ling, your bling bling bling and a diamond ring.”

Back To Tennessee (by Billy Ray Cyrus)

Living wild and making millions will never bring you true, lasting happiness. “Fancy cars and diamond rings, I've seen all kinds of shiny things. I should be feelin' like a king, but lord I don't. I've seen the road now, I know just what I need… to find my way back to Tennessee. I'm going home now, to Southern which is so sweet. And find my way back to Tennessee.”

Bless The Broken Road (by Rascal Flatts)

This one is my personal favorite. You will always find what’s meant to be yours. It will always come back to you if you once lost it. “It” being a friendship, job, or even a person you once loved. “It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true. Every long lost dream led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.”

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
