As someone who loves watching movies, I have list of favorites that get me into that summer feel. You know the one where the sun is just setting around 7 PM, you just got in from swimming, you're all toasty from the sun, and your mom is cooking in the kitchen? Yup, that feel. These films are on the top of my summer watch list.

1. Georgia Rule

Georgia Rule is a film starring Lindsay Lohan who plays a troubled teen who is sent to live with her grandmother in a small town in Idaho. She is holding a secret that is haunting her and causing turmoil between her and her mom (Felicity Huffman). Released in 2007, this comedic drama is one that will stand the test of time for me. It also stars Jane Fonda, who I love as an actress!

2. (500) Days of Summer

This film, released in 2009 and starring Zooey Deschanel and the handsome Joseph-Gordon Levitt, has the perfect title for the movies we are talking about, am I right? This Rom-Com is an awesome, offbeat, kind of indie film about a girl who doesn't believe in love and the guy that falls for her. This one will pull at your heart strings, but also offers an interesting perspective if you're willing to read between the lines.

3. Everything Everything

Everything Everything is an awesome film about a girl with an illness that keeps her trapped within the walls of her house, until a new boy moves in next door. I love Amandla Stenberg, who plays Maddy, in the this romantic drama. Not to mention, the music in this movie is amazing; it was like they pulled a few from my Spotify. ;)

4. 50 First Dates

This classic Romantic Comedy, released in 2004, is a classic Adam Sandler movie. He plays Henry Roth, who is afraid of commitment until he meets Lucy (Drew Barrymore) who he soon finds out has short-term memory loss. This film is sure to make you laugh and smile. Plus, everyone HAS to see this movie at least once in their lives!

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

This is my favorite POC movie! Although they're all good, this one is always on my watch list. You can even find it on Netflix, along with the newest one: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This one adds some action to your lazy summer afternoon.

As you can see I am a huge romantic movie fan. I didn't really realize this about myself until writing this "listicle", LOL. Snuggle up on the couch after a nice swim, and enjoy these films that let you revel in the sweetness that is summer.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
