As many of us may be nearing adulthood, it’s important to hold onto some of our youth in order to keep our inner child alive. And as a kid, nothing was better than watching the latest Disney/Pixar classic over and over again. These movies had us foolishly grinning at a screen while we shoveled popcorn into our mouths and laughed at the scene unfolding in front of us. The movies taught us some of the most valuable lessons in life, because sometimes, we all need to be reminded to “just keep swimming.” So this summer, grab your friends and head to the theatre for some more life lessons, a barrel of laughs and that buttered popcorn you just can’t resist.


The Angry Birds Movie

This comedy takes place on Bird Island, which is home to happy-go-lucky birds with a naive view on the world; however, Bird Island houses three exceptions: Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (voiced by Josh Grad), and Bomb (voiced by Danny McBride), whose personalities are opposite from the usual happiness. When green pigs enter their island, everyone is thrilled, except for Red, Chuck and Bomb. It’s up to the three of them to uncover the true reason the pigs came to Bird Island.

The movie is rated PG, and you can catch it out in theaters now.

Finding Dory

This sequel brings back the goofy, colorful characters we all love: Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks). Dory is on a mission to become reunited with her parents Jenny (voiced by Diane Keaton) and Charlie (voiced by Eugene Levy).

The film is rated PG, and will be out in theaters on June 17.

The Secret Life of Pets

This adorable animated film takes place in a Manhattan apartment building and centers around a beloved pet Max (voiced by Louis C.K.). Max’s life is turned upside-down when his owners introduce a new pet to the family, Duke (voiced by Eric Stonestreet). The two must set aside their vast differences when they discover that a white bunny named Snowball (voiced by Kevin Hart) is building an army of abandoned pets to take revenge on happy pet owners and their lovable pets.

The film is rated PG, and will be out in theaters on July 8.

Sausage Party

This film is nothing close to the childhood classics you're all used to. It offers the animation to appeal to your inner child, but humor that will appeal your newfound adulthood. The movie revolves around a sausage’s quest to discover the meaning of his life. The trailer is filled with sexual innuendos and colorful language that is sure to make you laugh.

The film is not yet rated, and will be out in theaters on August 12.

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.
