6 Movies to Put You in the Fall Mood

Today is September 10th. Today is also 95 degrees. So while the date may signal the beginning of fall, the weather reminds us all that summer is still determined to scorch our dreams of crisp strolls in the leaves for at least the next week or so.

All hope of fall dreams are not lost, however, because of the saving grace of air-conditioning! We can all feel like fall this weekend by cranking up the AC, throwing on a flannel, and binging all fall things (whether that be apple pie, PSLs or autumn-related movies). Here are some of my suggestions for what to watch to fall into the mood of fall:

1. When Harry Met Sally

In addition to being arguably the best romcom ever made, When Harry Met Sally depicts New York City dressed in its fall colors. As Harry and Sally fall in love during all the seasons, the film dwells on their time in autumn to showcase the trees changing in Central Park as their friendship changes to romance.

2. The Cider House Rules

This 1999 drama film features Tobey Maguire, Charlize Theron and apple picking. Plus, it's set in Maine and cider is in the name. Add any more fall and it would look like an L.L. Bean ad.

3. Good Will Hunting

Matt, Ben and Boston -- what great scenery! The film's setting in academia also ties into the start of the school year, so it's basically studying, right?

4. Silver Linings Playbook

This film stars Bradley Cooper and J-Law (can you say power couple?) and highlights the football fandom that so many associate with the autumn season, so it definitely earns a spot on my fall movie queue.

5. Sweet Home Alabama

This Reese Witherspoon romcom shows that fall is not just a northeastern phenomenon! Beautiful southern mansions and fall fairs punctuate this fun flick about a girl going back to her roots. I suggest watching this film while eating anything deep fried.

6. A Bad Halloween Movie

I personally loathe Halloween and therefore refuse to recommend one Halloween movie specifically, but I mention this genre because this list had way too many romance movies on it! So if you're feeling very single and still want to pretend it's fall, I suggest watching a bad Halloween movie.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.
