@thesandlotfans

Everyone has their favorite movie genre whether it be a comedy, horror, action, or a love story. But above all, one of my favorite genre of movies I have always loved is sports movies. To me, there is nothing like watching movies based on real events that occurred in the sports world that inspire you to strive for greatness. So here are 13 of my top favorite sports movies, not in any specific order.

1. "Miracle"

Do you believe in miracles? YES!

2. "Remember The Titans"

"I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is."

3. "Field Of Dreams"

If you build it, they will come.

4. "A League Of Their Own"

Are you crying? Are you crying?? There's no crying in baseball!!

5. "Happy Gilmore"

You're gonna die, clown!!!!

6. "Major League"

I have to wake up bats!

7. "The Blind Side"


8. "The Sandlot"

You're killing me smalls!

9. "Friday Night Lights"

"Every man at some point in his life is gonna lose a battle. He's gonna fight, and he's gonna lose. But what makes him a man is that, in the midst of that battle, he does not lose himself."

10. "42"

"Maybe tomorrow we'll all wear 42 so nobody can tell us apart."

11. "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story"

Dodge, duck, dip, dive, dodge.

12. "Rocky I-IV"

ADRIAN!!!

13. "Caddyshack"


There are so many sports movies out there I have really come to enjoy, but out of all of them these are some of my favorite ones that have either inspired me, made me laugh, or just bring back fond memories of watching them for the first time. Everyone has their favorite genre, and this one is definitely mine.

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.

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.
