12 Movies For A Rainy Day

Summer is all fun and games until a rainy day comes along. No more beach, no more morning hike, often times it's difficult to find something fun to do on a rainy day. These movies are vary in genre but definitely pass the time watching by yourself or with friends and family when the rain has you stuck inside.

1. 50 First Dates

This movie is a rom-com classic. It's a non-traditional romance story with tons of funny scenes and moments to make it a re-watchable favorite.

2. Legally Blonde

The stereotypes of sorority girls and college are exaggerated beyond belief in this movie, in a hilariously upbeat film. When Elle experiences heartbreak, she finds herself and realizes that she doesn't need a man to make her happy and successful.

3. Cinderella (the new live-action one)

I was hesitant to watch this movie. It's a classic fairytale that is over-adapted and over-used in movies, and so, I was not looking forward to seeing yet another Cinderella story. However, this movie was great. Somehow, the story came alive in a much more real and romantic way than I had ever seen before, and kept me focused in on the TV the whole time.

4. The Princess Bride

This movie is such a classic. It's a movie that even my father, the man who rarely watches chick-flicks despite having three daughters, enjoys watching from time to time. It's an adventure story more than a love story, and so is easier to get the men in your life to watch with you.

5. Grease

Everyone loves singing along to the catchy music in this amazing musical. It's so fun to watch the dancing and playfulness of the plot play out.

6. Heathers

This is a darker film. It starts out light and fluffy, and focuses on typical high school drama, but, as the movie continues, it takes a turn for the worse, and constantly keeps its audience on the edge of their seats.

7. The Last 5 Years

This movie is a hidden treasure. Not many people have heard of this movie, let alone heard the music from it. This is my favorite movie. I love everything about it and could watch it a million times. It's a musical that takes place from two peoples' point of views. One person's time line moves forward, and the other's backwards, telling the events of their relationship in a period of five years.

8. Jurassic Park

Everyone needs to watch Jurassic Park at least once in their lives. It's an amazing and completely out-of-the-box adventure story that never gets old. (Plus there are lots of fun- yet not as good- sequels to watch too!)

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.
