Ever since I was a kid, I was always intrigued by movies and storylines. I would always get sucked into movies. Growing up I was into everything from original Disney classics like "Cinderella," and "13 going on 30." As I grew up, I began to branch out with my movies, watching the famous horror story "Psycho" and the classic love story "Barefoot in the Park." My love for Disney movies never grew tiresome. Ironically neither did my enjoyment of horror movies.

So far in 2018, these are the 5 movies you've got to see. I must warn, some parts of this article reveal little secrets about these movies since I have watched all of them and am giving a review after watching.

1. "A Quiet Place"

An expecting mother and father in a post-apocalyptic world live in fear of giant aliens that have taken over the plant who kill anything causing noise. After losing their little boy when he turned on the noise to his spaceship and the alien attacked, they prepare for their soon-to-be-born baby by stringing up red outdoor lights to signal when the mom goes into labor. A plan is set out involving fireworks to distract the aliens when the baby screams after being born. This movie is not one to miss out on! But make sure to be quiet as you eat your popcorn, the movie is basically soundless.

2. "Black Panther"

A movie about strength and revenge, Black Panther was everything expected and much more! I have never really been a fan of Marvel movies, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I loved the background of the storyline with Wakanda's culture and their beliefs, as it gave the movie a whole-hearted feel like most films nowadays don't do. If you aren't into Marvel movies like me, go to the movie for the beautiful scenery. I was amazed at how pretty it was, and surprisingly it was filmed within the United States in Georgia! You can't miss out on this one! Also, the main actor is pretty cute.

3. "Red Sparrow"

Red Sparrow is one of those on-the-edge-of-your-seat type movies. A much more violent harsh film than I expected it to be, however. Definitely, do not take the kids to this movie! I have always been a fan of Jennifer Lawerence movies ever since "Hunger Games." She was full of spitfire and strength in this movie. She was a beautiful ballerina but injured herself beyond recovery. So she became a fully trained assassin by her uncle who knew she needed money for her mom after being out from her job as a ballerina. She was tortured, but she didn't give up secret information. After watching this movie, I realized how awful it must be for what those trained assassins are put through...but then again, they are killing people for a living.

4. "Ocean's 8"

My family has always been fans of "Ocean's 11," so when we saw that "Ocean's 8" was coming out and that it was about Danny's wife and a heist, we knew we had to watch it. I loved the group of actors who starred in the movie, so off we went to watch it in theaters. It was a great movie, and we loved how it felt like the original "Ocean's 11." I loved the group of actors who starred in the movie, and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be watching this movie again. Plus, who doesn't like Anne Hathaway?

5. "Tag"

What a great feel-good movie. Little did I know that the movie was based on a real group of friends, who are actually from Washington state, and a few of them attended Washington State University. Nowadays movies are either very aggressive, have cruel humor, or are horror movies. It was nice to watch something that was a great, wholehearted movie. The movie definitely had plenty of laughs and a great change of pace for the movie industry. It's one I would definitely watch again!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
