12 Throwback Movies To Watch During The Snowpocalypse

So I don’t know about you, but, when I’m snowed in, I like to watch super cringy teen movies. What better way to warm up from the blizzard with a cup of tea and some oldies?

1. "Hairspray" (2007)

So this is one of my favorite movie musicals. The music is catchy and it has a stars like Queen Latifah, John Travolta, James Marsden, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes and, of course, Zach Efron. It’s a great movie to sing along to and get a taste of the discrimination that the black community faced in the sixties.

2. A Cinderella Story

This movie is a modern take on a classic fairytale, and I love it. A popular football star falls in love with fellow Princeton applicant, the bullied diner girl. This movie has some great quotes and it is a feel good love story.

3. High School Musical 1, 2 and 3

Yeah, so I made fun of High School Musical when it first came out, but looking back, it was a really quality Disney film. It had dancing, singing, romance, conflict and some great basketball choreography. High School Musical just had its ten-year anniversary, and it was great to see how the cast was doing.

4. Clueless


I love Clueless. That may be due to my slightly unhealthy obsession with Alicia Silverstone or just because it has an equal balance between silly and smart. The movie will always be a favorite of mine, and I will always walk away feeling happy.

5. She's The Man

She's The Man has a lot of cring-worthy moments like when Amanda Bynes's character, Viola, says "dawg" or talks about tampons. I love this movie though because of its Twelfth Night meets Mulan quality. This girl is on a mission, and I'm always a sucker for a strong female lead.

6. The Lizzie McGuire Movie

This movie is great, and It really ruined my expectations for studying abroad. Why can't I become an international popstar for a night? Anyway, this movie had the beautiful yet awkward romance between Gordo and Lizzie. Hey, that's middle school. Am I right? With this movie you'll be singing the tune "This is what dreams are made of" for forever.

7. The Parent Trap (1998)

The Parent Trap is a great film about two girls who find out that they are twins at a summer camp. This movie has drama, humor, friendship, and family love going on. Plus who doesn't love a young and innocent Lindsay Lohan.

8. Pretty in Pink

Who doesn't love a classic Molly Ringwald film? I grew up watching classic 80s films with my parents, and I love the simple storyline, the costumes and the cheesy music.

9. Ella Enchanted

Cinderella has always been my favorite princess, and Anne Hathaway my favorite actress. With the plotting king and his snake, the mentally unstable fairy godmother and a very attractive prince charming this movie racks up to be one of my favorite films. Also what other movie has an ending curtain call, just saying.

10. 10 Things I Hate About You

This is a classic film that has teen angst, sibling quarrels, misunderstanding, and love. Every time I watch this movie, I end up falling for Heath Ledger all over again.


11. 13 Going On 30

13 Going On 30 is a great film about how the choices you make can shape you and change the outcome of your life. I love watching this film because of the fact that the main character, Jenna Rink, realizes that she doesn't need to be cool in middle school to have a great life in the future.


12. Freaky Friday

This movie is always relevant to me, and I always love watching it. From the meddling Chinese restaurant owner to the seriously amazing guitar solo at the end by Jamie Lee Curtis this movie is a serious favorite in my book.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
