And it's Back To The...Past?

10 Top 80's Films
Bustle.com

Let's take a trip through classic film memory lane. The 80's was a great era of large hair and bright colors and some great movies were made with the names of Molly Ringwald and Mathew Broderick. Some great classics to start the year off correctly with procrastination.


1. "Sixteen Candles"

A classic film full of the mess of a hectic sweet sixteen. Of course, the American party scene of high school was forever immortalized within the house party that Samantha attends and the image of the independent teen further solidified into film.


2. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

This film speaks to anyone who isn't really in love with the idea of school. Follow Ferris around on an insane adventure with his friends. It's a great adventure and I always feel like going on a random adventure after watching this movie.


3. "The Breakfast Club"

Ever heard of the classic saying don't judge a book by a cover? Well, how about don't judge a teenager from their first impressions either. It's an original eye opener into realizing you honestly have no clue where people come from until you talk to them.

4. "Say Anything"


What more drama do you need than teen love and trouble with the IRS all in one film? It's a film about following what you love and having the extreme guts to follow what you want.


5. "Heathers"

The original Mean Girls, but with explosions and murder. Just a friendly reminder not to fall in love with sociopaths or hangout with people who don't have your best intentions at heart.


6. "Risky Business"


The look that has traveled thousands of Halloween and frat parties came from this film scene with Tom Cruise. Definitely not short of entertainment!


7. "Footloose"


*Cue Journey* Just a city boy born and raisedddd in...Chicago. A boy from the city moves to a small town and falls in love a daughter of Reverend Moore. A great film about standing up for changing times and music!


8. "The Outsiders"


I loved watching this movie almost as much as I did reading the book by S.E. Hinton. It's very likely that if you went to middle school that this was a book either on your reading list or assigned class reading. The film really gave the characters the life that they deserve to show the street hardened kids of the Greaser gang.


9. "The Goonies"

The super power of the best curious kids on the block...plus their annoying older brother. Mini Spoiler Alert: Pirate ships and adventure may or may not be part of their film. It's all in the spirit of sticking up for your friends and where you came from.


10. "Back To The Future"

An extremely genius scientist meets and teams up with a kid in high school to go back in time — what could go wrong? If you love this film be sure to watch the other ones in the series.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
