If you didn’t spend your childhood responding to your parents question of “how’s dinner” with “slimy yet satisfying” or wondering what the lyrics were to the opening song then just stop reading right now. But thanks to Lion King you learned at 5 or 6 years old every lesson you’ll ever need to know to get through life.
On Friendship: There’s always going to be a fat friend in the group, it’s inevitable don’t even try to fight it. In the event you find you are that fat friend, try to be the funny, fat friend.
On Romance: In the end, you’re going to end up with your ex-lover. Sure you’ll probably date here and there in between but he or she is going to walk back into your life, you’ll go through a very dramatic life-changing event and realize you belong together. Let’s hope it’s the ex you broke up with because of distance and not because of their strange obsession with Miley Cyrus.
On Careers: When all else fails, join the family business. A teenage rebellion is like building a tree house as a kid, we all tried to do it but in the end we gave up and went back to our parents house.
On Life: Sure it can be tough to think about the memories of tequila shots passed but now you know that it’s time to stop when you try to convince your friends the lime comes before the shot. And the memories of the ever so casual “although your skills and experience are impressive…” e-mail will remind you to double check what company name is on the cover letter before you submit it.
Moral of the story?
If you’re ever faced with a life crisis go back to your roots. Sit in front of the TV, pop Lion King into your VCR and Mufasa will tell you what to do…or just type in “Lion King Quotes” into Pinterest because let’s face it, none of us still have a VCR.
