Maybe I'm the only one, but I always forget about the movies I watched and loved, no matter how many times I've watched them. So if you're caught up in a stressful workload, I highly recommend taking a break to watch one of these amazing movies that you might've forgotten about.

1. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988)

This will go down in history as a classic; it has all the elements of one! Romance, scandal, drama, and action... yes I know it's a cartoon but that doesn't make it any less of a movie.

2. "Space Jam" (1996)

Yes, another cartoon, but it's a basketball movie and a sci-fi movie all in one! Plus, if you've ever gone as Lola bunny for Halloween, and you haven't seen this movie, you're probably a terribly awful person.

Also, Michael Jordan. Micheal Jordan plays himself in this movie, which means that someone asked Micheal Jordan the basketball player, to become Michael Jordan the actor, to play the role of himself, and act with the majority of the rest of the cast being cartoons, and he said yes. That deserves this bonus gif.


3. "The Proposal" (2009)


Sandra Bullock is Ryan Reynolds boss, and she forces him to marry him so she doesn't get deported. Name a funnier scenario.

4. "The Imitation Game" (2014)

Benedict Cumberbatch plays a math genius that solves the enigma code and basically invents the computer. That thing you're reading this on right now? Yeah, you owe it to this guy, so watch this movie.

5. "The Breakfast Club" (1985)

Do I need to explain? I will, but I really shouldn't have to. Actually, no I won't, just go watch it.

6. "Footloose" (2011)

A movie you can watch and sing and dance along to?! This was the OG high school musical except there's a plot and it's actually a good movie.

7. "The Princess Bride" (1987)

Okay watching the male lead roll down a mountain screaming "as you wish" and then watching the princess roll down that same mountain because she realized she was in love with him is hilarious and you know it.

8. "The Godfather" (1972)

If you haven't seen this I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed into movie theaters.

9. "The Godfather 2" (1974)

Yes, this is the sequel to the last one, but it deserved its own number.

10. "The Great Gatsby" (2013)

Yes, it's cheesy, and yes, I know you read it in high school and your English teacher probably made you hate it by talking about the symbolism of the green light. But, the movie would never make you talk about symbolism, the movie would never do that to you. Leonardo dicaprio is in it, so watch it because sometimes you just need a cheesy movie with Leo, yah know?

These movies are def the best way to procrastinate doing homework. Feel free to let me know if I left any important ones off the list, but these are definitely the set of movies that you have to watch in order to pick up on weird references in daily life. You're welcome.

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.
