7 Movies to Watch During Finals
John Dierk

Finals week is upon us. Many college students are pulling all-nighters and producing paper after paper. I get it. Finals week brings out the worst in us, and while most of us are having stressed induced insomnia, we need a few things to wind down. Here are seven movies to watch to make finals week a little easier.

1. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

It is SUCH a cute movie that tells every boy and girl not to hide their nerdy side.

2. Legally Blonde

This is SUCH a girl power movie. After Warren basically dumps Elle for the Harvard dream, she works her butt off to show him up without losing her femininity and ends up finding a hot, smart, and compassionate guy all the while kicking butt in the courtroom.

3. The Road to El Dorado

Such a fun movie that literally is any two best friends. Ever.

4. Hairspray

An easy to love musical that you can't help but sing along to.

5. High School Musical

Cause seriously, who didn't grow up with this Disney Classic?

6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier


Amazing superhero, tons of action, and Bucky Barnes. What could be better?

7. Pitch Perfect / Pitch Perfect 2

Okay, these two are so good to wind down on. Two easy movies to laugh with.


So go, my young ones. Rest your brain.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
