Everyone has their go to movies that are their favorites. Here is a look at my top ten.

1. Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)

It will make you and cry as you experience the journey of three pets who get separated from their family. Sassy is the best and Shadow is wise. I remember watching this movie when I was kid and I just came across it again a few weeks while channel surfing. It's a heartwarming tale that must be seen.

2. Armageddon (1998)

Armageddon is truly one of THE BEST disaster movies of all time. Bruce Willis and Ben Afleck make one fantastic movie. Watching it will certainly not disappoint. Never send an astronaut to do a driller's job. Warning: There is a scene in this movie that will make you cry like a baby, consider yourself warned.

3. Alien (1979)

Nothing screams horror like this non-stop thriller and it all happens in space! If you like scary movies this takes it to a whole new level. It's an Iconic film from the brilliant mind of Ridley Scott. Do yourself a favor and watch it during the day, watching it at night just make it more scary.

4. The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965)

Don't let the year of release discourage you. This movie is an amazing journey of the artist Michelangelo and the painting of the Sistine Chapel. If you have an appreciation for the arts it's definitely a must see!

5. Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

This a recent favorite of mine. It's based on the true story of a very courageous and strong willed young man who serves his country in a time of need. It's amazing how the story really draws you in. Vince Vaughn makes a switch from comedy to a serious role and does an amazing job portraying a commanding officer.

6. The Fifth Element (1997)

One of the coolest movies of all time! If you haven't seen it, it's time to educate yourself. It's a futuristic adventure that combines an unlikely hero and the elusive fifth element to protect the world from impending doom that threatens all life on earth every 5000 years.

7. Grease (1978)

What teen hasn't seen this movie?! It's a look at the life of high school students that are exploring love and relationships while finishing their senior year of high school. The wardrobe and automobiles alone are enough to make you want to watch this movie.

8. The Breakfast Club (1985)

This is young adult movie that can relate to all of us somehow. Those kids that we once were in high school. The jock, the popular girl, the emo/lonely girl, the nerd. It represents us all!

9. Angels In America (2003)

This film shows the struggles that AIDS presented to people in the 80's. Not only are they struggling with AIDS but their religion and relationships as well. I saw the play and fell in love with the story.

10. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

I saved the best for last! Most of you are probably scratching your heads wondering about this title. It's about a wash up football player and his dying father. Elizabeth Taylor is stunning in this role. It is well worth a watch just to see the difference of what film was in this decade.

There is my list of Must See Films. It's a wide variety but that's because I don't limit myself to a particular genre one time period. If I listed it would be well into the hundreds. Take a chance and give these films a view. You'll thank me later.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.
