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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
