5 Movies to Binge-Watch After Southpaw
Southpaw

With the new, phenomenal movie "Southpaw" in theaters right now, we all have come to the realization that we LOVE BOXING. Like, what is not hotter than a guy going ham on another guy while their even hotter significant other is on the sidelines cheering him on?

For right now, we can't watch and re-watch "Southpaw" without dropping a good amount at the movie theaters, but there are plenty other movies that we can binge-watch while we wait.

1. "Never Backdown"

Hottie Jake, aka Sean Faris, has an anger issue due to the fact that his father passed away in a very public drunk driving accident while Jake was also in the car. His family moves to Orlando where he meets Baja and instantly falls in love, but there's a twist. She is dating a crazy boy who started the biggest underground teenage fight club, which is cool until he wants to beat the shit out of Jake. It's a must see for boys and girls alike.

2. "Million Dollar Baby"

Who knew Hilary Swank was such a badass? She plays Maggie Fitzgerald, who comes from a low-income family but wants to make a difference in her life. She contacts Frankie, a hardened boxing coach who sees her potential and takes her on. His motto is, "Always, always protect yourself."

3. "Fight club"

"What's the rules of fight club?" This movie about an insomniac and a salesman is one of the best ever. The two men end up starting an underground fight club for bored men to fight off the anger of their mundane lives. But of course, a woman breaks them off and scandal arises. It's a movie that will change your life.

4. "Cinderella Man"

Set during the Great Depression, J. Braddock (Russel Crowe) was an ex-boxer until his boss convinces him to fight one more time. An upset was expected, but Braddock brings his A game and opens a can of whoop ass. He decides to go back full-time and is called "Cinderella Man," because he went from a nobody to a somebody. It's a movie that makes you anxious and want to cry, but it's a good one.

5. "Rocky" 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5


Because who doesn't love when he yells "ADRIANNNNNEEEE," or runs up the steps to "Eye of the Tiger?" Gets better every time you watch it.

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.
