10 Irish based movies for St.Patty's day
Irish Channel

St. Patrick day is a holiday loved many, myself included. Everyone will wear green and if they are over 21, drink green beer. Here is some movies to watch St. Patrick's day.

1.Leprechaun

This movie is an example of cheese to the extreme. It has Jennifer Aniston in one of her first movie roles. It spawned many terrible sequels.

2. The Luck of the Irish

This is a movie from many peoples childhoods, that nowadays makes you go "huh?" when you read the plot. A link from Wikipedia can be found here. Read the plot and just laugh at it.

3. Once

Once is a musical movie that has great music . It was on Broadway a couple of years ago. If you're looking for a modern love story this is it.

4.The Quiet Man

The Quiet Man tells the story of a American man fight for his love, literally. It has John Wayne in the movie. That is all I have to tell you.

5.The Secret of Kells

The Secret of Kells tells the story of a monk fighting against darkness. It's something different from your traditional animated movie, a little darker than most. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.

6. The Gangs of New York

If you like bloody and violent movies, this is the movie for you . It has Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis facing off in the classic revenge story with fighting over a women into the mix.

7. The Departed

Just look at the cast list alone at that should convince you .

8. Brooklyn

Brooklyn was the underdog film at Oscars a couple years ago. It seems like the perfect movie to watch if you want a feel good story. It has romance of the American dream, along with love between people as well.

10 . Leap Year

Leap Year throws some gender norms on its head, with a girl purposing to a guy. It has Amy Adams... that's about it for the cast. If you want a movie to take your mind off of stuff for a while, this is the movie for you.

11.Angela's Ashes

Based of a memoir of the same name, this movie tells the story of a man trying to get back to America after having to move in Ireland with his family.

These are my picks to watch movie this St. Patrick day. Enjoy and be safe.

Thanks for reading! :)

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
