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.

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?
