When you are feeling sick of watching Teen Mom 2 or Keeping Up With the Kardashian's, here is a little escape to the previous decades that is sure not to disappoint.

1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Jack Nicholson is the king of satirical comedy.

2. Office Space

If you love The Office you are doing it a huge dishonor by not watching it's precursor. Also, Jennifer Anniston. *heart eyes*.

3. Dead Poet's Society

This could definitely be biased from a writer's perspective, but try watching this movie without being enlightened by the message. It's impossible not to feel something. CARPE DIEM.

4. Good Will Hunting

Robin Williams back at it again with another inspirational father figure roll just killin' it with his rhetoric. Also, young Matt Damon is pretty easy on the eyes.

5. Dazed and Confused

This movie has a friendly dose of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. (p.s. The soundtrack rocks almost as much as the movie itself).

6. Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The ultimate teen sex/stoner comedy.


7. The Silence of the Lambs

Anthony Hopkins will always be Dr. Hannibal Lector after you cringe watching this psychological thriller.


8. Gone With the Wind

Whether it be in your friend group, your family, your sorority, or yourself we all know one Scarlett O'Hara. This may be where the resting b***h face got it's fame.


9. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Marilyn Monroe is more than just a sex symbol, she's actually quite funny and talented.

10. Fight Club

All you need to know is that this movie is action packed and Brad Pitt's sexiness is a constant.

11. The Princess Bride

If they only knew back then how sexy the male pony-tail would become...


12. Pulp Fiction

QUENTIN TARANTINO FILMS: familiarize yourself with those.

13. The Godfather (all of them)

If you have yet to see a movie romanticizing organized crime, this trilogy sets the standard. These movies will make you wish you were Sicilian too.


14. Grease (duh)

The only musical that's able to be endured by everyone at least once.

15. Saturday Night Fever

Incase you were not aware that John Travolta plays a leading role in two movies on this list thus far, here is a third one. His hip motion in this disco romance rivals that of Elvis Presley himself.

16. The Sound of Music

Because Julie Andrews rocked the cutest pixie cut of all time and Nazi Germany sucks

17. The Titanic

Young Leo and Kate Winslet will have you making the gusta face throughout this whole film

18. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Two words: My Heart... But did I mention Johnny Depp was in it?

19. Interview With the Vampire

This ones for all you Twilight fangirls and fanboys. Imagine Young Tom Cruise AND young Brad Pitt in one movie together like, at the same time.Yeah, it happened.


20. Last but not least: A Streetcar Named Desire

A screenplay of Tennessee William's famous play shakes audiences with a southern drama that gives Shakespeare a run for his money. The scandal is real. Marlon Brando was a hunk even before he became a bad*ss.


Although many discoveries can be made when endlessly scrolling through Hulu and Netflix, here is a little something to narrow it down. These also give you something to talk about during the next awkward family dinner. It's pretty safe to say you can't beat the classics.

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.

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.
