Must-See Throwback Flicks on Netflix

We have officially hit the middle of October at Washington State University. This means midterms are just around the corner. Yes, we should all be studying and cramming everything that we've learned thus far into our brains. However, if you're itching to take a little study break, there's an abundance of throwbacks currently available on Netflix. Here's a list of movies that would take any 90's kid back.

10. Flubber.

Flubber is a classic childhood movie. Robin Williams stars in this 1997 comedy about a professor trying to create a new source of energy. What he ends up discovering is a rubber-like and bouncy substance that he calls Flubber.

9. Freaky Friday.

In 2003, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan starred in this Disney film about a mother and daughter switching places. Once the two were forced to switch bodies and see eachother's point of view, it strengthened their relationship and they were able to switch back. 

8. Parent Trap

Another Lindsey Lohan classic, Parent Trap is the movie that made every child think that they might have a twin out there in the world. In 1998, this movie was released about twins who were separated at birth, but found each other at summer camp years later.

7. Wayne's World

In 1992, Wayne's World was released. The whole movie is bascially about these two slacker friends who try to promote their cable show. Great Mike Myers movie!

6. Chicken Run

Chicken Run is one of those "classic throwback movies" that you remember watching as a kid but you don't think anyone else watched. Released in 2000, this comedy is all about chickens trying to escape a small farm in England in the 1950's.

5. Clueless

In 1995, Clueless was released to the world. To this day, woman-kind constantly quotes this movie. Alicia Silverstone does a flawless job in this film about rich high school kids and their first-world problems. 

4. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

One of the best Nickelodeon shows of all time, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was released in 2001. It's about a elementary school boy genius and his friends saving the day when the planet get attacked by aliens.

3.Cool Runnings

In 1993, Cool Runnings was a movie based on the true story of the first Jamaican bobsled team trying to make it to the Winter Olympics. I think we all remember this film because of how Disney constantly replayed it. 


2. The Mighty Ducks

One of the true hotties of the 90's, Emilio Estevez stars in this film about a no good lawyer being sentenced to coaching a youth hockey team as part of his community service. The movie was released over 20 years ago!

1. Annie

This 1982 classic is about a little orphan girl's adventures in finding a family. As kids, when we first saw this movie, we couldn't help but think ... are these my parents? Do I have a Daddy Warbucks waiting for me?

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.
