We all know movies are one of the greatest things mankind has ever created. From drive-thru cinemas to movie theaters with lounge chairs and dinner brought to you, movies have brought family and friends together and have brought fandoms to life. This is a list of fice movies of all different genres between the late 80s and early 90s. To make things more organized they are in chronological order.

1. The Goonies (1985)

An American adventure-comedy film based in Astoria, Oregon, "The Goonies" is filled with adventures when a band of preteens attempt to save their homes from demolition by discovering an old map that will lead them to buried treasure. This has become one of my favorites because of the dialogue between the characters and how a common cause brings jocks, intellectuals and even hooligans together.

2. Heathers (1988)

An American cult black comedy film portraying a clique of four girls -- three of whom are named Heather -- in a fictional Ohio high school and a bad-boy by the name of J.D. "Heathers" is filled with suspense, and thriller brought to you in the forms of betrayal, revenge, secrets, murder plots and a love gone wrong. This movie is on my list because who doesn't love a good thriller?

3. Forrest Gump (1994)

Let me start off by saying that the first time I saw this movie, I bawled and sobbed. A. Lot. An American dark comedy based on the novel of the same name, "Forrest Gump," is filled sadness, happiness, love and overcoming many things. "Run, Forrest, Run!" Tom Hanks does a wonderful job in this movie which is one of the reasons why this movie is also on the list. This is a classic in my eyes because it was written beautifully, amazingly directed and come on, how could you not love him?

4. Girl, Interrupted (1999)

Starring Wionna Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy, Jared Leto, Whoopi Goldberg and so many more, "Girl, Interrupted" is American drama telling the story of a girl who is sent to a pyschiartic hosiptal after attempting suicide. Upon arriving she meets other girls with mental illness ranging from schizophrenia, pathological lying, an eating disorder and sociopathy. From the moment the movie starts, it makes you feel. Sad, angry, hate, happiness, pity and anguish. There will not be a moment during watching this film where you aren't feeling something.


5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

An American romantic comedy film starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik. "10 Things I Hate About You" is filled with incredible and memorable scenes and lines such as, "But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you...Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all." It is in the same category as "She's All That," where a boy is paid to take out a female outcast, but slowly falls in love as they go along. You will literally laugh out loud, and you will cry. This is a movie everyone should watch at some point in their life. #RIPHeathLedger

There are so many more films that are on my "Classic Films" list but I'll save that for next time!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
