7 80s Movies To Watch If You're Having A Bad Day

Need some cheering up? At home sick in bed? Or just looking for something good to watch on TV? Well, you've come to the right place because below is a list of 80s movies that you must watch. People often overlook 80s movies, but I'm here to tell you that they are some of the most amazing movies you'll ever watch. Sure, they can be cheesy, but isn't that kind of the point? I've noticed that it's really easy to relate to most 80s movies, which is why I love them so much! That, and they're funny, filled with cheesy romance, and they just make you feel better. So, for your own good, take the time to watch these movies and know that there are so many more not listed below.

1. Can't Buy Me Love

This is one of my all time favorite movies. The message behind the movie is incredible and I strongly believe that every teenager needs to watch this at some point in their life. It will definitely make you laugh, and you'll end up wishing you had a love story like Cindy Mancini and Ronald Miller. Added bonus: young Patrick Dempsey is the main character... ladies, you can't not watch this movie.

2. The Breakfast Club

This movie basically describes what it's like to be a teenager in high school, so, for all of you high school kids out there, you'd better watch this. It'll definitely make you laugh, and maybe even cry a little bit. And you'll finally understand where a lot of quotes that our parents say come from.

3. Ferris Beuller's Day Off

If you really want to laugh, then you have got to watch this movie asap. This movie is perfect to watch when you're stuck sitting on the couch surrounded by cough medicine and endless amounts of crumpled up tissues.

4. Dirty Dancing

You'll have the time of your life watching this move. This is one of those cheesy, "I want that," kind of movies that just makes you feel good. Though it may not be as humorous as some movies, it's definitely one that I recommend to watch. The overall story line portrays multiple good and relatable messages. And, another added bonus: Patrick Swayze.... that's all I'm going to say.

5. Adventures in Babysitting

Were your plans ruined? Well, so were the main characters from this movie. It is filled with humor and puns that will definitely make you laugh. It's a movie that I highly recommend after a stressful day.

6. The Goonies

Craving a sense of adventure but don't want to leave the safety of the couch? Then this movie is perfect for you. It's filled to the brim with hilarious scenes, jokes, and even some crude humor. This has been one of my favorites since I was a kid, and I used to watch it every time that I was home sick from school.

7. The Karate Kid

Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off... Sound familiar? Along with some pretty awesome martial arts, the main character is adorable, which only adds to the quality of this movie. There is a lot of meaning behind the plot and there are definitely some relatable scenes.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
