As a child, we had our favorite movies that would make us stop for an hour and focus on one only thing. Now as we are all grown up there is still those movies that light that little spark inside our heart, the movies we can always turn to and forget other -bigger- problems. As these are some of the best:

10. Remember The Titans


Not only is this a beautiful football movie but who doesn't love a young Ryan Gossling and Hayden Panettiere. Remember The Titans also has some of the best movie lines.

9. The Sandlot

Another great movie that we all would plop in front of the T.v and watch on repeat- as some of us still do.

8. Elf

As it is a Christmas movie it's also obnoxiously good. Helping Buddy find his dad is not only sentimental but the best line of the movie.

7. Cheaper By The Dozen

Twelve children with one of them being one of our first heartthrobs aka Tom Welling aka Charlie. Also, let's not forget about Cheaper By The Dozen 2, which is probably one of the best second movies to be made and also a young teenage Taylor Lautner.

6. The Goonies

This movie somewhat used to be terrifying but, now it's a movie that reminds you how your childhood wasn't as adventurous and your mom is always down to watch with you.

5. The Little Rascals

A feel-good movie that is always around for a good laugh. Alfalfas love for Darla gave you high expectations for how you should be treated.

4. Home Alone

A classic Christmas movie that you can watch in the middle of summer that will get you hyped for the holidays and also very thankful you were never left home alone or got on another plane because you followed the wrong person.

3. Harry Potter

We grew up with these movies as they started when we were young and have finished up in the past few years. These movies can be watched on any day at any time, or even almost every weekend on freeform.

2. A League Of Their Own


This movie might just have the best movie line, as well as Tom Hanks who just might be the best actor in history, but another fantastic sports movie about women in baseball.

1. Any Disney movie


There are at least 143 Disney movies out there and probably all of them are just as great as the next. There's Cinderella, Lion King, Finding Nemo, Lilo and Stitch and don't forget the other Disney channel movies. They have an endless amount of feel-good movies to offer and everyone has their own favorite.

Although there are plenty more and we each have our own favorite picks.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
