17 Classics You've Got to See

17 Classics You've Got to See

These are just a few movies that I think are worth watching. Old movies have something special about them that makes us feel nostalgic. I like them because they remind me of simpler times...


1. Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

It's hard to find the story line at first, but after seeing it a few times, I understand why it's such a classic. I love a good story of social climbing.


2. North by Northwest (1959)

This movie is all about action! The government hires Carey Grant to catch foreign spies. WARNING: there are so many plot twists.


3. To Catch a Thief (1955)

Mystery, romance, action...it's got 'em all.


4. Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

It's so incredibly cheesy, that this horror movie turns into a comedy.


5. Snow White (1937)

Even if you've seen it before, you should absolutely watch it again.


6. Charade (1963)

It's hard to keep track of all the characters, but I dare you to guess the ending.

WARNING: There are so many plot twists.


7. Young Frankenstein (1974)

I think it's a comedy... the characters are a little creepy, but it's pretty funny.


8. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

It's got a similar setting to Little House on the Prairie, but it has a twist that makes for an interesting ending.


9. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

To some, it's a Christmas classic, but it can really work anytime of the year.


10. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

Ok, so it doesn't have a great life lesson, but it is a pretty perfect role for Marilyn Monroe.


11. The Birds (1963)

It may be pretty cheesy, but there are still some creepy scenes. It also made me terrified of birds.


12. That Darn Cat (1997)

It's not actually that old, but it still seems like a throwback. We all love a good mystery/comedy and it kind of looks like it's from the 70's.


13. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

We all remember reading the book in middle school, but now that we can actually understand what's going on, it makes a great movie.


14. The Wizard of Oz (1939)

It's the first movie in color that has since been revolutionized into many forms and spin-offs. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out on a piece of American history.


15. Casablanca (1942)

Here we have a mix between foreign affair, international intrigue, and action. All in all, it's another classic to rematch even if you've already seen it.


16. How to Steal a Million (1966)

Personally, I think it's a pretty underrated Audrey Hepburn movie of fraud and theft. Also, I had never heard of Peter O'Toole, but he is fabulous.


17. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)

An unlikely love story that happens in an unlikely place. It's a little creepy, but manageable because it seems so fake.

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.
