We all know movies are one of the greatest things mankind has ever created. From drive-thru cinemas to movie theaters with lounge chairs and dinner brought to you, movies have brought family and friends together and have brought fandoms to life. This is a list of fice movies of all different genres between the late 80s and early 90s. To make things more organized they are in chronological order.

1. The Goonies (1985)

An American adventure-comedy film based in Astoria, Oregon, "The Goonies" is filled with adventures when a band of preteens attempt to save their homes from demolition by discovering an old map that will lead them to buried treasure. This has become one of my favorites because of the dialogue between the characters and how a common cause brings jocks, intellectuals and even hooligans together.

2. Heathers (1988)

An American cult black comedy film portraying a clique of four girls -- three of whom are named Heather -- in a fictional Ohio high school and a bad-boy by the name of J.D. "Heathers" is filled with suspense, and thriller brought to you in the forms of betrayal, revenge, secrets, murder plots and a love gone wrong. This movie is on my list because who doesn't love a good thriller?

3. Forrest Gump (1994)

Let me start off by saying that the first time I saw this movie, I bawled and sobbed. A. Lot. An American dark comedy based on the novel of the same name, "Forrest Gump," is filled sadness, happiness, love and overcoming many things. "Run, Forrest, Run!" Tom Hanks does a wonderful job in this movie which is one of the reasons why this movie is also on the list. This is a classic in my eyes because it was written beautifully, amazingly directed and come on, how could you not love him?

4. Girl, Interrupted (1999)

Starring Wionna Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy, Jared Leto, Whoopi Goldberg and so many more, "Girl, Interrupted" is American drama telling the story of a girl who is sent to a pyschiartic hosiptal after attempting suicide. Upon arriving she meets other girls with mental illness ranging from schizophrenia, pathological lying, an eating disorder and sociopathy. From the moment the movie starts, it makes you feel. Sad, angry, hate, happiness, pity and anguish. There will not be a moment during watching this film where you aren't feeling something.


5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

An American romantic comedy film starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik. "10 Things I Hate About You" is filled with incredible and memorable scenes and lines such as, "But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you...Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all." It is in the same category as "She's All That," where a boy is paid to take out a female outcast, but slowly falls in love as they go along. You will literally laugh out loud, and you will cry. This is a movie everyone should watch at some point in their life. #RIPHeathLedger

There are so many more films that are on my "Classic Films" list but I'll save that for next time!

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.
