It's movie night, and it's your turn to pick a movie. But you can't think of anything. Don't worry. Below I have complied a list of 13 really great movies you can watch again and again, and they're ones you probably forgot about.

1. "Across The Universe"

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time, and just so happens to be a musical. This movie follows teenagers during the Vietnam War, and it incorporates a bunch of Beetles songs. Stop reading this article now, go watch the movie, then come back and finish reading this article. You won't regret it.

2. "Riding In The Car With Boys"

Anytime I don't know what to watch, I throw this movie on. It's one of my mom and I's favorites. I've probably watched this movie a hundred times. Just go watch it.

3. "Uptown Girls"

I recently rediscovered this movie (on Netflix) after YEARS of forgetting about it. This movie made me want to get a pet pig, Egyptian cotton sheets, and date a guy who could play the guitar.

4. "Confessions Of A Teenaged Drama Queen"

If you ever found yourself at age 8 really really wanting to be Lola (Lindsey Lohan), you aren't alone. Her life was just so beautifully tragic, or was she just dramatic. Watch to find out.

5. "Legally Blonde"

In just a few short months, I will start applying to law school. I would be lying if I said Elle Woods didn't help to inspire me to go to law school. I would also be lying if I said I haven't watched this movie a million times.

6. "Blue Lagoon"

This movie is not like the others, but still must be watched again and again. This movie was the first movie to make me cry. I'm still crying. WHY DID THEY EAT THOSE BERRIES?!

7. "Knocked Up"

This was my baby sister's favorite movie when she was three. I don't know why. How did they get her fake pregnant belly to look so real? I don't know how.

8. "Never Been Kissed"

Any Drew Barrymore movie from the early 2000s, no, ANY movie Drew Barrymore stars in must be watched again and again, including this one. If you could get another chance at high school, would you take it?

9. "Father Of The Bride" Part 1 & 2

These two movies are the kind of movies that make you say "That was cute" when they end. I've always secretly hoped my mom and I would end up pregnant together because of this movie, but shh, don't tell her I said that.

10. "Cheaper By The Dozen"

I think the only reason why I love this movie so much is because my last name is Baker, and so is the family's in the movie. Get it, a Baker's Dozen. I love that.

11. "Look Who's Talking"

This one is OLD. But it is seriously CUTE. Ever wonder what happens in the mind of a baby, or a dog. Wonder no more. This movie has it covered.

12. "Big Daddy"

Adam Sandler, and baby Dylan and Cole Sprouse, what more could you ask for? I'm still laughing about when he covers the kid puke with newspaper, or dresses up like Scuba Steve. What a classic.

13. "Meet The Parents" (and it's sequels)

Before Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers, there was Meet the Parents. You guys, he gets nervous and tells his fiance's parents he milked a cat. Everyone can relate to that.

I have grown up watching all of these movies again and again. While trying to escape the heat this summer, lock yourself in a dark room, turn the A/C on high, and let the binge watching begin. You're welcome.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
