I always see articles or websites telling me about the best movies to watch if you had a break-up or movies to watch on a rainy day. But, what about the times when you feel like the hundreds of movies staring at you in your cabinet just are not good enough to set your mood? Well, I am about to tell you.

I have found myself in this predicament many times and every movie that I picked when I was in a movie watching mood, I wrote down. I mean, I knew I would need it some day right? Watching a movie that you completely forgot about until you saw it is one of my favorite things. I feel like it puts you in such a better mood and makes your day just a little better, and who wouldn't want to feel like that? So, here are my top movies to watch when you're just in the mood to be lazy and be reminded why you love that particular film so much. They aren't all particular funny, dramatic, or lovey dovey. They are genuinely just good.

Who knows? Maybe you haven't had the time to see one of the movies I mention and now you have something to do today.

Princess in the Frog

I know I know, my first one is animated, but there are so many parts of the film that are hilarious and clever and overlooked. I mean, "Y'all from Shreveport?" c'mon that's hilarious.

Rio

Yes, another animated. But, this movie has great music and it is very creative how there are so many types of birds that all look so different. If you get a chance, just listen to Ester Dean's song "Take You to Rio." It will change your mind.

The Guilt Trip

Hands down, one of the best mother-son movies. The mom is hilarious and just about hits every factor on being an overprotective, unashamed mother.

The Ugly Truth

Such a funny and sappy movie that really does make you think about how you act around guys and if you should change some things.

Cheaper by the Dozen 2

Personally, I like the second one better. It is just such a sweet movie that reminds you how important family is. Plus, Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, anyone better?

Grown Ups 2

Any movie with Adam Sandler and Kevin James, it is impossible for it to suck. Grown Ups 2 has so many scenese that make me laugh for days if I think about them. ESPECIALLY this one.

Last Holiday

I find this movie so relevant all the time because if I found out I only have a couple weeks to live, I would do some crazy things. Plus, Queen Latifah is my fav.

Maid in Manhattan

Totally unrealistic, but it gives me a little hope about getting a man.

Enchanted

If you are in the mood for a Disney movie, this one should definitely be on the top of your list. Amy Adams was the perfect princess to fall in the lucky arms of Prince Charming, I mean McDreamy. Sorry, Patrick Dempsey.

Father of the Bride

Another Steve Martin classic. This movie is one of the sweetest and will make you very excited to have a wedding. Maybe your reception can be at your parent's house too!

The Perfect Man


I always forget how much I love Hilary Duff in this movie. It just makes you happy seeing someone care about their mom's happiness or should I say love life so much.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Just a typical Greek family having a normal wedding. This movie will make you laugh, cry, and want to be Greek all at the same time.

Sleepover

I always forget how funny this movie is. After watching it one time, I wanted to invite my friends over for a "sleepover."

Sweet Home Alabama

I think Reese Witherspoon did her best work in this movie. I never get tired of watching it, just like Jake never gets tired of kissing Melanie.

Parental Guidance

This movie is the definition of feel good. You will cry from laughter and happiness. If you did not like any of the other movies above, I promise this one will not disappoint. Not going to lie, I want Artie to be my grandpa 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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
