20 Things I've Learned From Disney Movies
SlashFilm

As I was packing up my bags to go down to Orlando a week ago, I was thinking about Disney movies because the only thing I knew for sure was that I was going to Disney World that week. So, I watched some Disney movies to remember my childhood. The thing about Disney movies is that they teach us life lessons that we don't always realize quite fast. That is why I've decided to share with you some things I learned from these movies.


1. Don't trust a stranger.

I mean my parents always told me this, but parents need some backup sometimes.

2. It's better to tell the truth.

Why be caught in a lie and lose someone's trust in you?

3. You can achieve any of your goals.

It's up to you, don't give up and don't let other people pull you down.

4. No matter what you go through you will overcome it.

5. Be nice to people.

Even if they treat you badly. My mom taught me that the best way to punish someone was to treat them nicely.

6. When in doubt, always ask.

It's better to be curious and get to know a little bit of everything than to be ignorant for fear of asking.

7. Always believe in yourself.

"I think the best message from this film is to believe in yourself and never stop seeing the world as little boy would, full of possibilities, hope, and adventure" -Hugh Jackman about Peter Pan (2015)

8. Love and respect nature.

I think nowadays this is really important since humans seem to have lost their respect for Mother Earth and other species.

9. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices.

10. The outside looks are not the only thing that counts.

Sometimes you have to look deeper to find the things you love the most.

11. Life is full of unpredictable possibilities.

Those who wait get the best surprises.

12. Live without worries.

Hakuna matata!

13. Accept that everyone is different.

"You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you, but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew" -Pocahontas

Cultural diversity everyone!

14. Never leave a friend behind.

If my friends need me I will be there no matter what.

15. Never be embarrassed of being yourself.

You are amazing and flawless. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

16. You can be a hero.

All that matters is that you act from the kindness of your heart.

17. Fight for your beliefs.

No matter how hard the fight can be.

18. Explore yourself and figure out who you want to be.

19. Ohana.

" Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten" - Lilo and Stitch

20. Never give up.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
