Who doesn't love "The Little Mermaid"? There's just something about this story that keeps us hooked (pardon the pun). Disney really outdid themselves with this movie, because not only did they give us a fabulous plot, fun dialogue, and great music, but some of our most important life lessons! Take these tips from Ariel and let Disney wisdom be "part of your world!"

1. A few minutes of eavesdropping is the perfect foundation for true love.

How else would you find out information about a man?

2. Breaking the rules and disrespecting your father is all good as long as you're in love.

Rules are meant to be broken, right?

3. At 16, you aren't a child anymore.

I'm not sure if it was the sneaking around, lying, yelling, crying, or all-out rebellion, but I'm completely convinced she's right. Seriously, Triton. Can't you see the maturity here?

4. Flirting with a statue isn't creepy at all.

Need I say more?

5. A deal with the sea witch is sure to work out.

What could possibly go wrong?

6. Your voice needs to be heard.

Oh, wait. Maybe that wasn't the point here.

7. You can always manipulate your friends into helping you get what you want.

They'll forgive you later.

8. It doesn't matter if he knows your name. It's all good.

Romance doesn't require such details.

9. Your goal, ladies? Get him to kiss you—that's what really matters.

Even if he's not ready, just go for it. You are on a time crunch, after all.

10. Go ahead and abandon your family for a man. This marriage is sure to be golden.

After a whirlwind three-day romance, what else is there to do but get married? Family and friends are nice, but this is love.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm set for life! Thanks, Disney!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
