Does the cold weather have you down?

In the mood for a movie marathon? Have no fear, I’ve got the perfect list right here! Here is a compilation of 10 classic movies that are turning the big 1-0 this year. Feel old yet?

1. High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Everyone’s favorite East High Wildcats took the stage one last time when the movie was released on October 24, 2008. There has been buzz recently about a possible High School Musical 4? Fingers crossed. You can find the soundtrack by following this link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6j8k5gIeWzXapGKTVaZzER. I don’t know about you, but I still know every single word.

2. Step Brothers

39 and 40-year olds Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) were forced to move in together after their parents’ marriage when this movie hit the theaters on July 25, 2008. The original Step Brothers was so good, maybe a Step Brothers 2 will hit the theaters in the near future?

3. The Dark Knight

Christian Bale’s Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker hit the big screens on July 18, 2008. Unfortunately, Ledger died 6 months before the movie was released, so he never got to see himself as the Joker on the big screens.

4. Yes Man

Jim Carrey plays Carl Allen, a man who attends a self-help seminar and learns how to say “yes” instead of saying “no” all of the time. He learns, however, that saying “yes” to everything isn’t always the best decision. This movie hit the theaters on December 17, 2008.

5. Bedtime Stories

Adam Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson, the loveable uncle who tells his niece and nephew bedtime stories that seem to come true in his real life. Bedtime Stories hit theaters on December 25, 2008.

6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is a man who is born in his eighties and ages in reverse. This movie also hit theaters on Christmas day, 2008.

7. Sex and The City

Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, plays “a New York City writer on sex and love [who] is finally getting married to her Mr. Big. But her three best girlfriends must console her after one of them inadvertently leads Mr. Big to jilt her,” according to IMDb. This movie hit the big screens on May 27, 2008.

8. 27 Dresses

Katherine Heigl plays Jane, who is always the bridesmaid and never the bride (in 27 weddings, to be exact). She’s the one who everyone goes to when they need help planning their weddings. However, when Jane’s younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) gets engaged to the man whom Jane secretly loves, Jane finally starts to question her roles as perennial bridesmaid and wedding planner. This movie hit the big screens on January 9, 2008.

9. Mamma Mia!

Donna (Meryl Streep), is an independent hotelier in the Greek islands who prepares for her daughter Sophie’s wedding with the help of two of her friends. Sophie secretly invites three men from Donna’s past in hopes of meeting her real dad and having him walk her down the aisle. This classic was released on July 18, 2008. You can find the movie’s soundtrack by following this link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/melissamatyiku/playlist/7aanmQIrzfWwXQX5JySWZP. Keep your eyes open for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hitting theaters this summer!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
