Time Out

The month of January does not seem to want to end, and not for lack of trying. The past week has felt like one of the longest weeks in history, for more than a few reasons. With all the negative news circling around our media these days, it seems everyone could use a good pick-me-up, or at least a brief escape to a different universe where it doesn't seem like the planet is falling apart. If you're in desperate need for an escape from the usual chaos, here's a list of a few of the most popular comedies and feel-good movies to help you catch a much needed break.


1. We're The Millers

If Jennifer Aniston isn't queen of the RomComs, I don't know who is.

2. Friends With Benefits

For every person who's tried the FWB thing.

3. Crazy Stupid Love

Ryan Gosling. Just, Ryan Gosling.

4. Legally Blonde

I think we could all use Elle's optimism right about now.

And her coping mechanisms.

5. Bridesmaids

Life lessons everywhere.

6. Eat Pray Love

Same.

7. Easy A

Hint: it's not Tom Cruise.

8. Bride Wars

Hmmm...Anne Hathaway might give Jen a run for her money.

9. Horrible Bosses

And speaking of Jen, she's how old in this movie? #goals


10. The Hundred-Foot Journey

Humorous, heartwarming, and Helen Mirren: the feel-good trifecta.

11. Bridget Jones' Diary

12. Trainwreck

The movie that said, "World, meet Amy Schumer."


13. Spy

The world could use a Susan Cooper.

14. Meet the Fockers

15. Pitch Perfect

And a Fat Amy. Definitely a Fat Amy.

16. How To Be Single

But maybe just having Rebel Wilson will do.

17. Date Night

18. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

But actually - Zac Efron's biceps though.

19. The Proposal

Ah, Ryan Reynolds. My personal favorite Ryan.

20. Bad Teacher

21. Just Go With It

Again, she's how old?!

22. The Other Woman

Cameron Diaz's last stand and Jaime Lannister as the womanizer. Forever one of my favorites.

PS: Shout out to Nicki Minaj's random AF cameo.

23. Bad Moms

You will never look at your mom the same way again.

24. Superbad

McLovin, a cultural icon.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
