6 Movies You Need To See Right Now

I'm not a movie buff by any means, but I've watched my fair share. Just like with my TV shows, I have and will watch a variety of different movies. This here is a list of ten movies that I encourage you to see ASAP.


Real Steel: This is by far my favorite movie, and I honestly can't even tell you why. Starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a burned-out prizefighter who lost his chance to win when robots took over the boxing ring. Now Charlie works as a small-time promoter, piecing together scraps of metal into low-end fighters to earn barely anything from each venue. Just as Charlie hits rock bottom, he teams up with his estranged 11 year old son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship robot for a final shot at redemption.

The A-Team (2010 Film): This here is one of my favorite action films to date: The film begins with John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) being held captive in Mexico by two Federal Police officers working for a renegade General. Hannibal escapes and sets off to rescue Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Bradley Cooper) who is held captive at the renegade General's ranch. Face is rescued by Hannibal with the help of Ranger B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson). Pursued by General Tuco, they stop at an Army Hospital to enlist the help of eccentric pilot Howling Mad Murdock (Sharlto Copley). The four men escape in a medical helicopter and blow up Tuco's copter after he flies into American airspace. The movie then follows the men eight years later and depicts a mission gone wrong.

Footloose (2011 Remake): As much as I love the original, I was highly impressed with this revamped version of the 1980's classic "Footloose". This rendition follows Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald), a Boston-raised teenager who moves to Bomont to live with his uncle and his family following the death of his mother to leukemia and his father's earlier abandonment. Throughout the film, Ren learns more and more about the town's ban on dancing whilst falling for rebellious Ariel Moore (Julianne Hough), the daughter of Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) who set the dancing ban in place after his son Bobby's drunk driving accident caused his death. Through Ariel Ren is able to grant the students a senior prom outside the city limits.

Money Monster: If you like George Clooney and Julia Roberts, then this is a film for you. Clooney portrays Lee Gates, a TV host and Wall Street guru who picks hot stocks on his show "Money Monster". During a live broadcast, irate investor who lost all of his money Kyle Budwell (Jack O'Connell) takes over the set and holds Lee hostage. While Gates tries to plead with Kyle, he's communicating with his producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) in the control room. Together they try to figure out a way to defuse the impending situation and disarm the young man.

The Intern: If you're retired, a widow, and over 65 years old, become an intern for a top online fashion site.That's exactly what Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) did in this heart-warming comedy/drama starring Anne Hathaway as the over-worked head an online fashion company, Jules Ostin. Combined with Ben's humor and likeable personality, the two begin to form a lasting friendship as their lives intertwine throughout the film.

50 First Dates: This movie is by far one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. He stars as Henry Roth alongside Drew Barrymore who plays Lucy Whitmore, a young woman who resides with her father and brother after a car accident left her brain impaired and unable to keep any short term memories. Initially when Lucy's father and brother learn about Henry they try to keep him away from her because she will never remember him, but soon they come to realize that Henry's intentions with Lucy are exceptionally different than those of his past. 50 First Dates hilariously and romantically displays the effort those of us will go through in order to be with the person they love the most.

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.
