5 Movies To Watch On Netflix Right Now!

For when you can't decide what to watch.

You have your snacks, blanket, and are snuggling up with your boo (or dog I don't judge) but you have no idea what to watch. Netflix is fantastic, but I do find myself often struggling with what to watch. Since you're already all snuggled up and ready to go, I compiled a short list of some of my recent favorites on Netflix. Go watch them before they get replaced!

1. Tallulah

Genre: Drama/Comedy

Cast: Ellen Page, Allison Janney, Tammy Blanchard, Evan Jonigkeit

Vagabond Tallulah "rescues" a baby from a rich irresponsible mother. She brings her to her boyfriend's mother who mistakes the child as their own. (Witty and sweet, has major indie vibes if you're into that.)

2. The Overnight

Genre: Mystery/Comedy

Cast: Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman,

A new couple moves to LA and meets eccentric friends that invite them for pizza and give them a night to remember. (This movie is SO weird, watch it with an open mind. It's a journey, you'll be exhausted after. Plus, Piper is in it.)

3. The Invitation

Genre: Horror/Drama

Cast: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Mike Doyle

A man gets invited to a dinner party by his ex wife and her new husband, and he's suspicious of their dinner intentions. (I always guess endings, BUT you will not see this one coming. Unnerving.)

4. Hush

Genre: Horror

Cast: Kate Siegel, John Gallagher

A young deaf author living alone in the woods navigates surviving the night when a crazed masked killer shows up at her window. (One of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time. The transitions from audio to nothing is perfect.)

5. American Beauty

Genre: Drama, Romance

Cast: Kevin Spacey, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari, Allison Janney

An introspective look into the nuclear family you think you know. (An oldie but a goodie. It starts out slow, but the ending is crazy. If you figure out the rose petal symbolism, extra credit!)

BONUS

The Shallows

This one is not on Netflix yet, but you need to watch. Blake Lively is exceptional.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
