5 Thing Mia Thermopolis Taught Us
Thursday, April 30, 2015
After Princess Diaries came out, Genovia was at the top of my dream list of travel destinations. (and I don't even like pears.)
It was a classic. Every tween/teen/twenty-something girl could relate to Mia, and the struggle she faced just trying to fit in and find out who she wanted to be (even if that was a Princess). I've made a list of 5 Things I remember learning, thanks to the perfectly clumsy Princess Mia.
1. There's Nothing Wrong with Less-than-Perfect
Frizzy haired, clumsy Mia knows that somedays, things are just not going to get any better. But that's okay. She's got two best friends who don't care what her hair looks like. You go, Mia.
2. "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." (feat. Joe)
This was a super important lesson for Mia (who was often walked all over) to learn in the movie. She was sort of a push-over, and thanks to Joe and his infinite wisdom she realized that you are essentially in control of how people treat you, and how you choose to let that affect you.
3. First Kisses aren't Overrated
We all know that Mia dreamt of her perfect foot-popping kiss her whole life. Whether it's your first kiss ever, your first kiss with a true love, there's nothing wrong with wanting that perfect foot-popping moment. Unless he happens to be using you just to be photographed by the paparazzi.
4. Your Perfect Guy Does Exist
And like Mia, you may realize it when you least expect it. Don't worry. Plus, if you ever screw up, you can fix it with an 'I'm Sorry' M&M pizza.
5. Finally, how to perfect the princess wave.
It's all in the wrist.
Anyone up for a trip to Genovia?
