4 Movie Ideas for Valentine's Day
Seeking Alpha

How are you going to celebrate your Valentine's Day? How about dinner followed by movies on your favorite streaming channel? If you are like me, and have a partner that LOVES romance and comedy on the big screen (not), Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to play that card – “I would really love it if we could watch some of my favorite chick-flicks today – that would be the best Valentine’s Day present ever!” Play, set, match.

Cook something cool from a Tasty video, load up on the popcorn, hit the couch, and let Netflix take you away.

Looking for some good Valentine’s Day movie ideas? Here are my top 4 picks for Valentine’s Day, 2017:

1. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

The tale of Benjamin Barry, an advertising executive and Andie Anderson, a writer for a magazine. They meet in a bar after making interesting bets with co-workers related to making and breaking relationships. The story is filled with surprises and humor.

2. "Love Actually"

The setting is placed around Christmas time in London. The story follows eight individuals and takes place during the Christmas season in London. It’s a great story and explores relationships at all of their highs an lows - falling in love, companionship, affairs, and heartbreak. The characters’ experiences and moments are relatable to viewers of all ages.

3. "10 Things I Hate About You"

The fun, classic film follows the story of Bianca Stratford, a sophomore in high school, and her sister Katrina, a feminist who hates conventionality. Bianca is not allowed to date unless her sister has a date. A new student to Padua High, Cameron, is dying to take Bianca out. Knowing Mr. Stratford’s rules of dating for his girls, Cameron looks for someone to take Kat out.

4. "50 First Dates"

Veterinarian, Henry Roth, lives in Hawaii and enjoys the company of endless vacationing women with no strings attached until he meets Lucy Whitmore. Henry finally thinks he has met the girl of his dreams until the next day Lucy fails to recognize him. He then discovers that Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss. This discovery makes Henry even more motivated to make her fall in love with him all over again every single day. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are the stars of the film.

I recently read an article that talked about millennials and their obsession with Netflix. I asked 102 University of Iowa students (love social media survey tools!) if it was true. 98% of the students I reached said they had either a Netflix or Hulu account. 58% of them stream 0-5 hours per week, 34% watch 6-10 hours, and 6% watch 11 hours or more per week.

Why are millennials so hooked on Netflix? It’s super convenient. No huge cable bills. You can binge watch! You can watch it on your mobile device, your smart TV, and even your gaming counsels. The original programming is great and there are plenty of other great shows and movies available – and now you can download a lot of the programming to your devices!! Netflix has 83.1 million subscribers and is changing the very nature of “TV.”

For now, my focus turns to picking the best chick flicks to watch on Valentine’s Day, but I am counting the days for "Stranger Things" to come back on air!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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.
