Funny Face

An Audrey Hepburn classic, "Funny Face" will have you smiling, laughing, and singing along. The story of a young and insecure bookworm turned Parisian fashion model is a guaranteed S'Marvelous and S'Wonderful time and will definitely calm you down after your economics homework. You can find "Funny Face" for free on Amazon Prime!

Julie&Julia

Giphy

Funny and heartwarming, "Julie&Julia" is perfect for chefs and toast burners (me) alike. It's a movie that says dreams do come true and you will reach your goals not matter how impossible they might be -- and during late night study-seshs, that's exactly the kind of message we need (plus who doesn't love Meryl Streep). Watch it for free on Netflix!

Stuck in Love

Giphy

This is one of those movies that you watch once and it stays in your mind forever. Heart-wrenching and heartwarming, regardless of your place in life, you will be able to relate to this movie. "Stuck in Love" gives you those profound quotes that will simultaneously blow your mind and make you feel a million times smarter -- perfect to watch to prepare to conquer that essay. Amazon Prime has this gem for free!

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Young Blake Lively. Enough said.

When deep into a homework grind, it can be nice to detach and remember the simpler time of high school and home friends. This is the movie about those home friends bonded for life. Plus the jeans are really cute. Netflix has this one for free!

Christopher Robin

Disney

This new Disney movie is just what you need to remind you not to grow up too fast. During hours in the library, school might seem to be a nuisance that you want to finish as fast as possible. Take your time, enjoy your childhood while you can because it won't always be here and no one wants scary adult responsibilities. "Christopher Robin" can be found for free on Netflix!

Sometimes everyone needs a break to clear their mind. Studying is useless when you're too stressed out to focus; so, take a break, watch a feel-good movie, and come back better than ever.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
