I remember watching Mulan for the very first time when I was just a small, unwoke child. Here I was just sitting there minding my own business when my mom pops in Disney's Mulan on VHS into my TV. Let me tell you, my entire world changed that day. Mulan was heroic, defied the odds, and was so down to Earth and funny. If you have not seen this movie (I am looking at all of you men intimidated by Disney princesses), I highly recommend going onto the nearest Netflix account and watching. I must have watched and rewinded that VHS tape about 100 times. Everything about this movie is fantastic: the characters, the soundtrack and the art. Here are ten gifs from Mulan that can relate to you in everyday life:


1. Mulan taught me that it is okay to make a mess every once in a while:


2. And that it's not the end of the world if things don't go as planned:



3. Mulan showed me that if you put your mind to it, you can be one of the greats:



4. It's also okay to be imperfect:



5. Mulan taught me the value of friendship:



6. And to be true to yourself:



7. If you put your mind on something, you can accomplish anything:



8. Sometimes, it is alright to fake it 'till you make it:



9. Mulan taught me that women too can fight and be strong:



10. Most importantly, the flower that blooms last is the most beautiful of all:

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
