There are dozens of things people do to get out of slumps they might be in. My favorite happens to be watching a good movie. Actually, I watch movies all the time -- whether or not I'm in a slump. Anyway, if you ever happen to be stuck on what to watch I picked out a few of my favorites that you can check out.

1. "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging"

Georgia Nicolson is perfectly portrayed as a typical 14-year-old girl living the ups and downs of surviving her family – including her crazy cat Angus – insane wardrobe mishaps, and the art of a good snog.


2. "Cheaper by the Dozen"/"Cheaper by the Dozen 2"

Twelve kids, two parents, one dog and a whole lot of fun – and that’s just the first one. Add eight more kids and two more parents to that mix for movie number two.


3. "Clueless"

This movie has its sights set on being fun from beginning to end. Nailed it! Nineties' fashion, a young Paul Rudd, and popular high school students you probably used to live vicariously through. This movie never gets old and it’s on Netflix

.

4. "Elf"

Christmas or not, everyone has seen this movie and there are no qualms about watching it a dozen times whenever you need a good laugh. I can’t be the only one who rewinds it to watch Will Ferrell get hit by the taxi again and again.

5. "The Great Gatsby"

Sure, there are a few deaths, I’ll give you that. On the contrary there is a killer soundtrack, flawless costumes and Leonardo DiCaprio. Can you really get any better than that?


6. "Hocus Pocus"

Much like "Elf," you don’t have to wait until the recommended holiday to watch this film – especially considering it’s on ABC Family at least once a month. It’s totally quotable too.

7. "Matilda"

Every single time you watch this movie you wish you had powers like Matilda. Don’t lie to me because I know it’s true. The parents are a riot, the brother is insane, and don’t get me started on her elementary school. Putting a newt in the principal’s water? Genius!

8. "Ramona and Beezus"

Talk about a heartwarming pick-me-up. This movie gets me every single time, and I know people in just about every age group who love it. Selena Gomez is charming, and Joey King is such a scene stealer.

9. "She's the Man"

Basically Amanda Bynes goes undercover as her brother to prove that girls can play soccer as well as guys and she ends up dating Channing Tatum in the end. We all know who won here.

10. "That Awkward Moment"

Anyone from the ages of 18 to 29 can probably relate to the life and times of Jason, Mikey and Daniel as they manage New York City while trying to remain a wolf pack of single bros. They eventually all fail, but it’s rather heartwarming with a ton of comedic genius. Oh, and did I mention Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan are the leads?


11. "The Princess Diaries"/"The Princess Diaries 2"

Mia Thermopolis finds out she’s a princess, does a bunch of embarrassing things that makes the audience laugh for two whole movies, and then ends up with her Prince Charming. Yeah, you might think it’s cliché now, but watch it a few dozen times in a row and you’ll be hooked too.


12. Literally any movie musical

"High School Musical;" "High School Musical 2;" "High School Musical 3;" "Pitch Perfect"/"Pitch Perfect 2;" "Singin’ in the Rain;" "Hairspray;" "Mamma Mia;" etc., I think there’s just something about music mixed with the magic of movies that make it a real crowd pleaser.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
