15 Reasons Why The 80's Was The Best Decade Ever

If you know me, you know I love the 80's. The music, the clothes, the movies. I'm all about that decade. My roomie and I have been listening to the 1980's pandora radio station for a week. No joke. I often say I was born in the wrong decade and should have been born in the 80's. It's the decade that brought us some of the greatest artists, television shows, and fashion trends. Here are the things that make the 80's great...

1. Scrunchies are the best hair accessory invented. period.

2. The music. The music. Oh, and did I mention the music?

3. Seriously, who doesn't wish they could've gone to a rock concert in the 80's?

4. Legwarmers are both stylish and comfortable. And they can make anyone feel like a dancer.

5. Say Anything showed us what a true romantic gesture looks like. Take notes, boys.

6. Journey taught us to never stop believing.

7. The lingo was totally rad.

8. It was perfectly okay for your hair to be ridiculously huge and frizzy. That was considered cool.

9. Pac-man.

10. The 80's took us to the future.

11. The Breakfast Club. Need I say more?

12. Flashdance taught us to chase our dreams, no matter the odds.

13. Have I mentioned how awesome the movies were?

When Harry Met Sally, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Dirty Dancing, Half of the Star Wars trilogy, the list goes on!

14. Jazzercise

15. Oh, and we can't forget the blue eye shadow.

Basically, the 80's were "radical." And if you haven't seen an 80's movie, you've been missing out. Go watch one.

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.
