Pitch Perfect 3 recently came out, and it is supposedly the last "Pitch Perfect" movie. These movies are always hilarious, and I don't think there will ever be a time when they're not funny, to be completely honest.

Whether it's Aubrey saying "aca-scuse me?!" or Fat Amy mermaid dancing, there are always scenes that will make you laugh.

I think what makes these movies great is that they're so weird. Everything is so strangely funny it will remind you how you and your longtime BFF's are (speaking of BFF's, Beca and Fat Amy are best friend goals x10). I'm excited to see what the new quotes from Pitch Perfect 3 will be, so I can quote them throughout all of 2018.

There are so many reasons why these movies will always be iconic, here are my top 15 favorite moments in the first two 'Pitch Perfect' movies.

1. When Fat Amy mermaid dances

Mermaid DancingIt's a talent we all wish we could master, I know I do. Her dance skills are classics and I wish I had her confidence level.

2. Bumper and Donald's talks

The best wing-men. Bumper and Donald even finish each other's sentences, aww.

3. The OG riff-off

The whole riff-off idea impresses me. I could never be that quick to think of a lyric. I love this scene because it's so entertaining to watch, and, more importantly, they sing songs by Pat Benatar AND Dr. Dre.

4. The riff-off in "Pitch Perfect 2"

A random crazed fan of acapella invites all the best acapella groups to his home for a riff-off. The Green Bay Packers sing bootylicious — there's a lot happening here.

5. The auditions

"Don't just bring it, sing it!" The fact that McLovin from Superbad is in this scene makes it so perfect and funny. They perform "Since You've Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson so you can rediscover your love for that song whenever you rewatch this movie. I know I do.

6. The hosts

"Nothing makes a woman feel more like a girl than a man who sings like a boy."

The hosts of the acapella competitions, Gail and John, say the most cringe-worthy things, but they really add to the movies.

7. The Tonehangers

This old acapella group's version of Bootywork has got to be #1 on the charts, they get so into it.

8. Fat Amy getting hit with a burrito

"I have been shot!"

Bumper sabotages the Bellas with a burrito fiasco and we're all saying, aca-scuse me?

9. Horizontal running

Horizontal running"Yeah, no...don't put me down for cardio."

Haven't you heard? Horizontal running is the newest fitness craze!

10. Bumper trying to get at Fat Amy

"Sometimes I feel like I should do crystal meth and then I think hmm better not."

It's dysfunctional, yet at the same time makes sense.

11. When Bumper becomes a security guard and a member of The Tonehangers

His back up singing for John Mayer was done and he couldn't stay out of the spotlight. Ironically, he joins what he made fun of when he was a Treble.

12. Adding aca in front of everything

Aca-scuse me?

"Aca-believe it" "Aca-scuse me?" "Aca-people" "Aca-bitches" "Aca-awesome" Aca-awkward"

It's really never aca-ending.

13. When Beca shows Jesse how she feels

Beca sings "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, from the movie "The Breakfast Club," which Jesse loves. #Feels

14. When Benji finally becomes a Treble

Finally, dreams really do come true for this magician when Bumper abandons the Treblemakers. He even sings "Magic" by B.o.B — how fitting.

15. When Emily performs her song

A newcomer to the Bellas and a legacy, Emily Junk was destined to be a Bella, and she helped them win Worlds with an original song she wrote.

Crushed it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
