You never knew you could learn so much from a children's movie.

1. "The past can hurt you. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." -Rafiki

As a child, this quote might not mean much to you. As an adult, it all makes sense. When you get older, you begin to experience things that might make you sad, mad, angry, or all of the above. There are things that happen in a lot of our lives that we try to avoid and pretend didn't exist or happen. However, this quote gives us simple and helpful advice. We may make mistakes or get hurt by others, but we have to learn from our past or it will repeat itself.

2. "You are more that what you have become. You must take your pace in the circle of life." -Mufasa

Sometimes in life, you feel like you don't have a place; like you don't belong anywhere. This quote reminds us that there will always be somewhere for you. You have a destiny. Your life has a meaning and a purpose. Finding you place and role in life may be difficult, but the fact that you are alive means that you have a place in this world and a role to fulfill.

3. Life's not fair, is it? You see, I ... well, I shall never be king. And you ... shall never see the light of another day. Adieu." -Scar


This quote brings to light the fact that there will always be people who try to tear you down and stop you from moving forward. People will be jealous of you, threatened by you, and do everything to shut you down.You cannot let people tell you what you are capable of, show them. Just because one person does not believe in you or one hundred people do not believe in you, doesn't mean that you shouldn't believe in yourself.

4. Never forget who you are. -Mufasa

With the things life throws at you, it can be easy to lose your way and venture far from your path. This quote reminds us that we need to stay true to who we are, regardless of the trials we go through or the things that change us.

5. Hakuna Matata -Timone & Pumba

This quote basically tells us to stay calm and try not to worry. It literally means no worries for the rest of your days! When going through things, try to remember that you have to go through the valley to get to the top of the mountain. Don't live your life full of worries.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
