Hidden Movie Gems: "Sleepover"

Hidden Movie Gems: "Sleepover"

As I was chilling on my couch this well-deserved Thanksgiving break, I was mindlessly flipping through the channels on my television when I saw the 2004 teen movie, "Sleepover" was on. So, naturally ,I freaked out and proceeded to watch it. And it's just as good as I remembered it to be. Here are reasons why everyone should re-watch or view for the very first time this childhood classic.

1. The plot.

Nice girl friend group led by the super cool Julie Corky (Alexa Vega) are pitted up against the mean girl group led by Stacie Blake (Sara Paxton) in a scavenger hunt the night of the high school's homecoming dance to see which girl group will get the coveted lunch spot once they enter high school. Is it kinda stupid? Yes. But who doesn't want to see the mean girls fall?

2. It reminds you of a time when you were scared of high school.

Watching this movie in 2004 when I was nine, I had no idea what high school was about. I figured there was more to it than homecoming and lunch spots (although, meh, actually kind of debatable now that I think about it) but it takes you back to a much more simpler time in life.

3. It's pretty funny.

Steve Carell is in it, so enough said.

4. The stars.

So many stars were in this movie. Alexa Vega ("Spy Kids"), Jane Lynch ("Glee"), Steve Carell ("The Office"), Hunter Parrish ("Weeds"), and Evan Peters ("American Horror Story") are all in this movie.

5. The boys.

Sean Faris and Douglas Booth are enough motivation for me to watch this movie. I would gladly attempt to skateboard in front of Sean and risk all integrity if that meant he would want to talk to me. And even now at age 20, I feel bad for Douglas' character when a girl goes up to him at the dance only to want to talk to Sean. I wouldn't do that to you, Douglas.

Overall, "Sleepover" is a pretty good movie if you want to watch some fluff for a few hours. And given that it's almost finals time...

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.
