Have you ever wondered what your favorite cult classic movie got rated by the scathing critics of Rotten Tomatoes? Well worry no more, I have some of your favorite right here.

Mean girls - 84%


Most Scathing Review: "I would be more amused if the topic of rich material girls had not been worn to a thread elsewhere." -Anthony Lane

Clueless- 81%

Most Scathing Review: "There's such a gaping discontinuity between her physical beauty and her vacant, gum-snapping personality that she's like a walking advertisement for everything that's right and wrong with America." - Owen Gleiberman

The Breakfast Club- 89%

Most Scathing Review: "Nothing really changes. You hear nothing you haven't heard before. But you know that for them it is happening for the first time, and they deserve compassion. I'm not sure that's a good enough reason to see "The Breakfast Club."" -Joseph Glemis

Bridesmaids- 90%

Most Scathing Review: "Is it funny? Yes, at times, and its female-centric theme will appeal to many women. I just hope they have the patience to trudge through the slow spots and story detours." -Leonard Maltin

Heathers- 95%


Most Scathing Review: "Its inanities and glib pretensions are so thick that it mainly comes across as tacky and contrived." -Jonathan Rosenbaum

Wet Hot American Summer- 32%


Most Scathing Review: "This is supposed to be funny? It was so depressing I almost started to cry." -Stephen Hunter

The Princess Bride- 97%


Most Scathing Review: "The leads are vacuous; the absurdities sometimes forced and obvious." -Geoff Andrew

Ferris Bueller's Day Off- 81%


Most Scathing Review: "A film that doesn't seem to know what it's about until the end." -Gene Siskel

Sharknado- 82%


Most Scathing Review: "Sharknado was born to suck, but I'm hesitant to accuse its enthusiastic viewers of being rubes. The prime reason: I'm an enthusiastic viewer of it too." -Simon Miraudo

Monty Python and the Holy Grail- 97%


Most Scathing Review: "Holy Grail suffers from the same syndrome that afflicts many of these restored classics: It is better remembered than actually seen." -Bruce Newman

Pulp Fiction- 94%


Most Scathing Review: "The way that this picture has been so widely ravened up and drooled over verges on the disgusting. Pulp Fiction nourishes, abets, cultural slumming." - Stanley Kauffmann

Rocky Horror Picture Show- 80%


Most Scathing Review: "The wit is too weak to sustain a film, and the songs all sound the same." -Dave Kehr

Pitch Perfect- 80%


Most Scathing Review: "As far as the so-called humour goes, we're operating on a sliding scale from lazy to downright offensive." -Emma Dibdin

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
