As an avid and frequent moviegoer, I can honestly say that 2016 was a great year for film. Great movies were created from all different movie genres. Granted, this list contains only some of the movies that I have seen, and trust me there are plenty more that were released that I definitely still want to see... but for now, here are the movies from 2016 that I would highly recommend to all the movie fans out there:

1. Passengers (December 21st, 2016)

Who doesn't love a good love story set in space? Now, I know that this movie did not get the best reviews, but I absolutely loved it!

2. Central Intelligence (June 17th, 2016)

Honestly, when seeing a movie in the theater, I have never laughed for so long and for so hard. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart... enough said

3. Deadpool (February 12th, 2016)

There are almost no words to describe this film except that Ryan Reynolds is amazing in this and yes, it should have been nominated for an Oscar.

4. Captain America: Civil War (May 6th, 2016)

As an avid Marvel fan, this movie really tugs at the heartstrings... but it is definitely worth the watch and is a worthy addition to the franchise.

5. Collateral Beauty (December 16th, 2016)

PSA: Kleenex is a requirement if you choose to see this film.

6. The Legend of Tarzan (July 1st, 2016)

A live action film about Tarzan with Samuel L. Jackson as the comic relief? Who wouldn't want to see this action film?

7. Moana (November 23rd, 2016)

The Rock was destined to voice the character of Maui. And the stupid chicken gives a unique touch to this movie.

8. The Jungle Book (April 4th, 2016)

It can't get much better than Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo.

9. Why Him? (December 23rd, 2016)

James Franco was born to play this role since no one else could have pulled this off as well and as hilariously as he did.

10. Dirty Grandpa (January 22nd, 2016)

Mostly because Robert De Niro is one of my absolute favorite actors, but this movie is also hilarious just overall.

11. La La Land (December 9th, 2016)

I'm usually not one for musicals like this, but with all the hype surrounding it my interest was immediately sparked, and I am so glad that it did. This movie was amazing as well as the music in it.

12. Finding Dory (June 17th, 2016)

Ellen Degeneres has waited 10 years for this, and it was definitely worth the wait.

These films made me laugh, made me cry, and laugh so hard that I cried. I would recommend these movies again and again. So the next time you decided you want to chill out and have yourself a movie night, pick one of these great movies. I promise, you won't be dissappointed.

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.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

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

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
