Breaks from school are always fun, although there are some days when I have nothing to do. It's days like these that I like to curl up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and watch movies. There are so many movies out there though, so sometimes I have no clue what to watch. Here is a list of movies for you to watch or re-watch during vacation.

1. "Home Alone" - Every single one.

2. "A Cinderella Story" - This one is FINALLY on Netflix!

3. "Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List" - I'm not sure if this is still on Netflix but I saw it when it was. (A++)

4. "Begin Again" - This movie left me speechless, and if you like music you'll really enjoy this too.

5. "Love Actually" - I haven't seen this yet but I heard it's great.

6. "Abducted" - This movie came out a few years ago and I know certain people that hate it. Although I re-watch it a lot and I know the ending, the movie keeps me on the edge of my seat all the time. (A++)

7. "Speed" - Old but awesome!

8. "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" - I don't cry from movies, but this one made me cry uncontrollably. Out of all movies on this list you should watch this first.

9. "White House Down" - Channing Tatum (simple as that).

10. "Salt" - Did you know the lead role (played by Angelina Jolie) was supposed to be a male originally? Well Jolie was epic!

11. "Divergent" - As usual, the book was better. Although, it was a great movie and they brought certain parts of the book to life really well.

12. "Finding Dory" - Because more millennials were excited about this than children.

13. "Sky High" - On Netflix!

14. "13th" - I had to watch this for my sociology class, it was very interesting.

15. "Man on Wire" - Haven't seen this yet, but I'm planning to watch it this weekend.

16. "Paper Towns" - I only watched this because I read the book and I wanted to compare them. It was really cute and there were certain parts where my friends and I erupted with laughter.

17. "The Fault in Our Stars" - A+++ (Dramedy).

18. "Ghost" - A+++++ (Romantic Fantasy).

19. "The Call" - Epic!

20. "Legally Blonde" - A throwback for old times sake.

21. "Silence of the Lambs" - If you have a weak stomach don't watch this...

22. "Mean Girls" - Watch it on a Wednesday ;)

23. "The Pacifier" - This is such a family movie, it's one reason why I love it.

24. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" - A++ (An adaptation of the coming-of-age novel).

25. "The Great Gatsby" - I saw the one from 2000 and the one from 2013, both were great.

26. "The Martian" - I watched this on a flight to Puerto Rico, and I loved it. It was a little boring at first, but the ending turned out pretty cool.

27. "The Purge: Election Year" - Because everything that has happened over the course of this years election was terrifying as well.

Hope you guys enjoy your break!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
