5 Movies That Absolutely Blew My Mind

Lately, I have been on a movie binge. Where all I do is watch movies, I have watched at least twenty. One particular reason I love watching movies is that each movie tells a different story and teaches you different lessons. I compiled a small list of movies that I not only cried to because they were so good but also think that other people need to watch them because they hold very important lessons.

1. Pride and Prejudice

I loved this movie for many reasons. Not only does it face problems like equality but also follows a youngish woman in England in the late 1700s that doesn't quite know what to do with her life. This shows the audience that it is totally okay to not know what you want to do. Pride and Prejudice also has a romantic flair that always keeps you on your toes. There is so much more that happens in the movie but in order to find out, you'll have to watch it for yourself.

2. A Walk to Remember

A Walk To Remember is definitely a tearjerker. You watch as two very unlikely people come together to try and make life worth living for the time being. I can't say too much more without ruining the movie, but if you decide to watch this movie make sure you have tissues nearby.

3. The Help

The Help takes place in the 1960s in Mississippi where three black women tell their personal stories to help their community. As I watched this I became so saddened by what they had to go through. I think that this movie needs to be seen by every single person.

4. All the Bright Places

This movie is a rollercoaster of emotions. All The Bright Places is about two people who are coping with their mental and physical struggles. They use each other to try and get through it. You get to see the vulnerability that each of us has.

5. The F**k It List

When I was watching The F**k It List I just kept thinking maybe I should make a list of my own. As you can tell from the title of this film, this movie is about a boy who accidentally gets in trouble and just decides to make a list of things he wanted to do. I think that was one of the main points of the movie, why just have a list and not cross anything off?

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
