"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney

11 Things Disney Taught Me
Adrianna Filyaw

I have always been a Disney lover and to this day, that has never changed about me. I am "that" girl that still watches Netflix for kids just because it's easier to watch my favorite animated classics. Disney brings a magic to our lives, a magic that never dies. No matter how old I get I will always love Disney and be grateful for all the the countless life lessons Mr. Walt himself taught me.

1. Not everyone is a morning person, and that's okay.

I guess this means you all now know that I am not a morning person, huh? To be clear, I basically am Princess Anna when someone tries to wake me up... hair and all.

2. A queen can never be late; which means I am never late, right?

Queen Clarisse, I could not have said it better. The party doesn't start until I walk in.

3. Being yourself is the most perfect way to be.

Thank you, Walt Disney, for encouraging us all to embrace the "practically perfect in every way" lifestyle. With confidence and a bottomless bag, who could complain?

4. The truth is always the best option.

Often our society is entangled with lies and negativity, but from the very beginning Mr. Disney himself had a vision to change the lives of children one film at a time.

5. With persistence and dedication, sometimes the underdog can come out on top.

Being a woman in a man's world is a hard thing to do, but Mulan showed us that with hard work and dedication we can all be the people we were meant to be.

6. Things can always, always be worse.

.

Seriously, don't EVER EVER ask this question. It can ALWAYS be worse.

7. Have courage and be kind.

Courage and kindness are two traits I hope I can always maintain. I want my personality to shine like Cinderella's glass slippers.

8. Never lose hope.

Hope can sometimes be hard to hold on to when life seems to get the best of us, but if you just hold on a little longer your hope will turn into reality.

9. The right path is not always the easiest.

We are faced every day with which path we should go down. Thank you, Grandmother Willow, for reminding us that sometimes we must face difficulties to get to where we need to be to prosper and be happy.

10. Never say goodbye, just see you later.

Goodbyes are morbid. Goodbyes are filled with sadness. Goodbyes are hard. Goodbyes remind us that time is fleeting but memories are forever. See you in Neverland, Peter.

11. Always find the beauty in everything.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Choose to find the beauty rather than to overlook it. It is always right there somewhere.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
