The 10 Most Underrated Pieces of Advice From Classic Movies

With great movies come great quotes; however, we might miss these knowledge nuggets during the actual screening of the movie. So, in order to "get the knowledge" as Janet Jackson would sing, let's count down from ten to one for most underrated pieces of advice from movies.

10. Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump's momma had it right on this one, you never know what life is gonna throw at you, so be thankful for everything and everyone you have, and don't forget to take each day as it comes.

9. A Cinderella Story

Just like Hillary Duff's character, Sam, said, h8ters gonna h8; so don't let them bring you down, just keep on doing you. Be confident in the kind, beautiful, and original person you are.

8. Friends With Benefits

When thinking about whether or not someone is, to quote the ever inspirational Hannah Montana, a "true friend" think about if that person "will be there till the end", if they'll "pull you aside when something ain't right" and if they'll "talk to you now and into the night, 'til it's alright again." But in all seriousness, remember that you deserve to have people around you who love and support you, so if someone is only bringing negativity into your life, maybe it's time to cut them loose...

7. Spider Man

Always remember to carry yourself in a positive, uplifting and caring way because someone does look up to, and while you may not want it to be your job, you are someone's role model. Also, remember to be responsible and follow the rules, just because you have power doesn't mean you're above anyone else. Shout out to the U.S. government, this is one piece of advice that they could all benefit from.

6. The Lion King

Appreciate the time you spend with your parents and loved ones. Remember that as you are growing up, your parents and loved ones are growing older too, so take-in and enjoy every moment that you get to spend with them.

5. The Shawshank Redemption

Life moves quickly, and it only speeds up as you get older,so make sure you make the best of each day. Live each day to the fullest, make sure you have only a limited number of regrets when you are older. Remember that thing you said you would do but you didn't? You should go do that now, time is a ticking.

4. Saving Private Ryan

Be thankful for everything that you have, and remember that everything comes at a price. Be especially thankful for your freedom because it is something that is earned everyday by the individuals in our armed forces. The men and women in our armed forces sacrifice so much for us, the least we can do is say thank you. If you see an officer go up to him or her and say thank you to them; I promise you it will brighten their day.

3. He's Just Not That Into You

If someone you are romantically involved with does not treat you well, chances are they don't care. Please remember, you deserve the best and you definitely deserve someone who cares for you. While it might be hard, drop that idiot like a hot potato because better things are going to come, and you will eventually find someone who loves and cares for you in the way you deserve.

2. The Pursuit of Happiness

Will Smith's character, Chris Gardner, said it best. Never ever give up on something you believe in or want to do, and never be intimidated into backing down. If you have a dream, stick with it and work hard.

1. Mean Girls


Maybe one of the most underrated quotes from any movie ever. While the film is based on a stereotypic portrayal of female rivalry, Ms. Norbury says it best. In order for women to make strides and gain complete equality, we and the media need to stop turning everything into a competition and girl fight. Instead, we, as women, need to support each other and draw inspiration from the other amazing women around us.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
