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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
