Here's Why There Will Never Be Anything Like '80s Films Ever Again

If you've seen your fair share of '80s movies, there's no denying they have a sense of magic to them. Maybe it's because they give us a taste of simplicity or maybe just hope. Either way, they are undeniably unlike any other decade of movies.

These movies taught us valuable lessons on life while disguising them in a fun and adventurous script.

This is something I feel like we do not get much of in today's movies. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" taught us that life is short and living spontaneously is good for us. "The Breakfast Club" taught us to listen to other peoples' stories whom you would often choose to ignore and that we're all a little weird.

Besides the many life lessons we gain from these films, we root for the too good to be true romances and situations that come along with them.

We get to see the story fall together perfectly (whilst set to a bomb soundtrack). I think, whether we want to admit it or not, we relate to characters in these movies and see ourselves in them. There is a sense of authenticity displayed in these movies. These movies give everyone a chance and they leave us with a feeling of true happiness.

These movies were things of their own. There were many directors that were at their peaks of creating great works. Their plots were unique and the characters, like I mentioned above, were relatable.

Everyone found a way to fit into the movie.

Films from the '80s give off a sense of nostalgia, which even I feel (I'm not sure how this is possible, considering I was not even living at this time). They make me wish for a time like the '80s. No constant cellphones and the clothes were pretty cute too.

'80s movies were simply magical. I end this article with a John Bender fist to the air.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
