St. Elmo's Fire

I signed up for a month free of Netflix and today I've been working on chipping away at the movies I haven't seen and actually wanted to that are on there. And I have two days left, which has me asking myself, why did I wait this long? Granted I could just pay the eight dollars or whatever, but soon school is going to start back and I don't need that distraction too. Or maybe I do and I'll just end up signing back up later. But the real reason for this post is that one of the movies that made the list tonight was St. Elmo's Fire. I wasn't alive when it came out, but I loved it so much. At this point in my life it really connected with me, you know about to be out in the "real" world and all. I don't want to fill this post with how all the little things probably relate to something that has a lot of meaning to me. I also don't want to get all sappy and sad about only having a year of college left, there's plenty of time for that later (or is there?), but it does make me excited about the new things that all of us will experience as we move forward with our lives. We won't be as close geographically as the characters in the movie, but I hope we stay in touch. I also loved it for the simple fact that I just love how 80's it is, and how good the acting is, and the story. I just feel like they don't make many movies like that anymore. It was easy to see how it has become a classic for the decade. Hopefully tomorrow's choices will bring just as much satisfaction.
