Many people know and love the classic romantic comedy that is "She's the Man." It is a timeless tale of a teenage girl that pretends to be her brother so she can play soccer, but ends up falling in love with her new roommate, so practically just a basic high school experience. It is the greatest movie ever made and I have irrefutable proof to back me up.

1. Playing the main character, Viola, is the one and only Amanda Bynes.

Pre-schizophrenia Bynes is any teenage girl's role model. Starring in movies like "Sydney White," "What a Girl Wants," and "Big Fat Liar," Bynes has made her mark on any 90s kid's childhood.

2. Two words: Channing Tatum, aka the literal bae.

Tatum is able to make any movie 10 times better, so getting cast as the leading man in an already great movie just adds to the wonder that is "She's the Man." Just look at this beautiful human specimen.

3. "She's the Man" is based on the Shakespearean play, "Twelfth Night."

As any high school English teacher would agree, anything based on Shakespeare will be pure cinematic or literary gold.


4. It is applicable to many real life scenarios.

Pretty much every high schooler has broken up with a terrible human being very publicly in a pizza parlor, followed by a standing ovation and immediate acceptance into the 'it' crowd.


5. Channing Tatum. Just look at Channing Tatum.


6. This movie has so many quotes that are able to lighten up any situation.

After all, what better way to let a guy down than to say, "What, are you hitting on me? Girls with asses like mine don't talk to boys with faces like yours." I, personally, have used this one on multiple occasions and it has always elicited a laugh.


7. Whenever you are in a bad mood or just really bored, "She's the Man" is full of so many great one-liners that never fail to evoke a chuckle.


8. The characters are incredibly relatable.

If you say you have never used some of Viola's charming sass or been as good of a lab partner as Eunice, you are lying to yourself and everyone else.


9. Once again, JUST LOOK AT CHANNING TATUM.


You have seen all of the proof of the greatness that is "She's the Man," so if you have not seen it, go watch it now, and if you have, still go watch it again. You're welcome.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
