Why You Should Love Classic Films

When it comes to movies, I have an interesting taste in films. Right? A 22-year-old gal into black and white films! Who would have thought? But it’s true! I love classic films. Films like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or "Funny Face" or "Some Like It Hot" (yeah, that movie with Marilyn Monroe). I was lucky enough to be genetically inputted with the appreciation of old films, thanks to my father and his love of cinematography. But anyways, why should everyone appreciate old films? I’ll tell you why—because you should always remember and honor the past. Thanks to their innovations, we wouldn’t have films like "Titanic" or the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Let’s take Walt Disney and his ingenuity of animation for example. Without his hard work and many trial and errors, we wouldn’t enjoy films like "Frozen."

For me, old films show a lot. The acting skills of Grace Kelly and Clark Gable are stuff legends are made of. The set scenes of "Gone with the Wind" are mesmerizing and full of art. I truly adore these old films because they show how far we have come to make movies. And what is lovely is that you see the raw talent in acting and also photography, costumes and scripts. Classic films holds so many genres: musicals, actions, cowboys, romance, Civil Era and so much more. Yeah, some are slow and take time to build the storyline. But if you are a hopeless romantic and love films with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, you will truly enjoy any classic film.

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.
