An Ode To The Best Cheesy 80's Movies

Who doesn't love a good movie? Better yet a movie involving nothing but classic music montages and always ending positive for the main character. That's where the 80's movies come into play. These movies are the epitome of cheesy, you can see how the movie will end from a mile away and you know what, I'm okay with that.

Normally I watch these movies sparingly, say the girl I'm inevitably going to disappoint later that night wants to watch one, boom I put one on. Joking, joking but honestly, there are a couple of these classic films that I enjoy.

My personal favorite is easily...

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

I like everything about it. Ferris is a cool dude that always seems to do the best thing possible; not to mention his girlfriend Sloane is pretty easy on the eyes. Ferris skips school and basically parades around Chicago in victorious fashion the whole time while his principal is doing everything in his power to catch him and suspend him. Oh, and pre-HIV Charlie Sheen makes a cameo appearance as a criminal, how ironic?

"Top Gun"

Top Gun is another one of my 80's favorites. It stars a young Tom Cruise as he goes through special military training in order to earn the title "Top Gun." I'm not going to explain the whole plot line, or ruin it for you, that would just be dumb. What I will tell you about Top Gun is that they play Kenny Loggins hit "Danger Zone" throughout every flight sequence, and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin in every love scene. Needless to say, these are basically the only two songs played the whole movie. Still, with that being said it's a great 80's movie that I highly recommend.

The movie that really captures the whole aura of 80's movies is probably...

"The Breakfast Club"

Ask your girlfriend about it, chances are she has watched it 10 times. In all honestly, it's not that bad of a movie. "The Breakfast Club" is definitely geared more towards the ladies, but hey who doesn't have a couple girly movies they like? It has all the cliches involved with 80's movies like; a dancing montage, a conflict at the beginning of it, characters working themselves out of a predicament, and a positive ending where everyone is happy. It's a classic!

Remember 1>0, see you when I see you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
