And it's Back To The...Past?

10 Top 80's Films

Let's take a trip through classic film memory lane. The 80's was a great era of large hair and bright colors and some great movies were made with the names of Molly Ringwald and Mathew Broderick. Some great classics to start the year off correctly with procrastination.


1. "Sixteen Candles"

A classic film full of the mess of a hectic sweet sixteen. Of course, the American party scene of high school was forever immortalized within the house party that Samantha attends and the image of the independent teen further solidified into film.


2. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

This film speaks to anyone who isn't really in love with the idea of school. Follow Ferris around on an insane adventure with his friends. It's a great adventure and I always feel like going on a random adventure after watching this movie.


3. "The Breakfast Club"

Ever heard of the classic saying don't judge a book by a cover? Well, how about don't judge a teenager from their first impressions either. It's an original eye opener into realizing you honestly have no clue where people come from until you talk to them.

4. "Say Anything"


What more drama do you need than teen love and trouble with the IRS all in one film? It's a film about following what you love and having the extreme guts to follow what you want.


5. "Heathers"

The original Mean Girls, but with explosions and murder. Just a friendly reminder not to fall in love with sociopaths or hangout with people who don't have your best intentions at heart.


6. "Risky Business"


The look that has traveled thousands of Halloween and frat parties came from this film scene with Tom Cruise. Definitely not short of entertainment!


7. "Footloose"


*Cue Journey* Just a city boy born and raisedddd in...Chicago. A boy from the city moves to a small town and falls in love a daughter of Reverend Moore. A great film about standing up for changing times and music!


8. "The Outsiders"


I loved watching this movie almost as much as I did reading the book by S.E. Hinton. It's very likely that if you went to middle school that this was a book either on your reading list or assigned class reading. The film really gave the characters the life that they deserve to show the street hardened kids of the Greaser gang.


9. "The Goonies"

The super power of the best curious kids on the block...plus their annoying older brother. Mini Spoiler Alert: Pirate ships and adventure may or may not be part of their film. It's all in the spirit of sticking up for your friends and where you came from.


10. "Back To The Future"

An extremely genius scientist meets and teams up with a kid in high school to go back in time — what could go wrong? If you love this film be sure to watch the other ones in the series.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
