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.

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.
