The Lovely Side

If your Christmas break just started or you still have a few days to go, here are eight movies you should check out. Chick flicks, rom-coms, or whatever else you might call them are some of the best movies out there in my opinion. So pop some popcorn, find a comfy spot, and get watching!

1. Sweet Home Alabama

Y'all, I think that "Sweet Home Alabama" might be my favorite movie ever. Maybe it's because the town portrayed in the movie reminds me of my hometown. Up and coming fashion designer, Melanie Carmichael, suddenly finds herself engaged to the most eligible bachelor in New York. Unfortunately, Melanie has skeletons in her designer filled closet that include Jake- her high school sweetheart that refuses to divorce her. Determined to sever her ties and get away from her past once and for all, Melanie returns home to Alabama. But, as everyone knows, home is where the heart is, and Melanie realizes that the life she left behind was much better for her than her life up north.

2. Mean Girls

My boyfriend can quote "Mean Girls" word for word. It's quite a talent. I'm still working on getting him to put it on his resume. Cady Heron was homeschooled by her parents when they lived in Africa, but then they moved to America and she was sent to public school for the first time. Cady quickly learns that the cliques are very tightly knit. She unknowingly ends up in the good graces of the most popular girls in school, called "The Plastics". Cady soon sees for herself why they were given the nickname, and has to decide if she belongs in their 'Mean Girl' clique.


3. Pretty Woman

A modern version of Cinderella, a prostitute and a wealthy business man fall for each other, becoming an unlikely pair. After Edward hires Vivian to stay with him for the weekend, the two get closer, only to discover there are significant hurdles to overcome as they try to connect their very different worlds to be together.


4. Legally Blonde

Elle Woods has it all. There's just one thing she wants, and that's to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. The two things stopping him from proposing: he feels she is too blonde, and he's headed to Harvard for law school. Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back and get a ring by spring.


5. Titanic

A love story doomed by the Atlantic Ocean. 101-year-old Rose Calvert tells of her experience on the Titanic, as well as her emotional connection with a starving artist named Jack Dawson. 84 years after the night the Ship of Dreams sank, Rose begins telling her story to her granddaughter and ocean explorers, starting with her memories.


6. Miss Congeniality

When a terrorist threatens to bomb the Miss United States Pageant, the FBI rushes to find a female agent to go undercover as a contestant. Unfortunately, Gracie is the only female agent who can look the part, despite her lack of femininity. Gracie prides herself in being "one of the boys", but after severe pageant training and actually meeting some of the girls, she decides she can deal with being chosen for this mission.

7. Pretty In Pink

Andie comes from the not so wealthy side of town. When she isn't at work, school or hanging out with her best friend, Duckie, she is taking care of her father. Then, her world gets flipped upside down when a rich, popular boy named Blaine starts flirting with her. After a few days, Blaine decides to ask Andie to the prom, and she happily accepts. Pressured by his friend to recognize the social class differences between the two of them, Blaine backs out last minute. Andie goes to prom anyway, and her and Duckie make up (they had gotten into a huge fight). Blaine shows up to reconcile as well, and Duckie encourages Andie to go and work things out with him.


8. Breakfast At Tiffany's

Holly Golightly doesn't belong to anything or anyone. She's a flighty girl who expects money for the powder room as well as for cab fare in exchange for her companionship. She feels as though the only way to make her life great is to marry rich. Then, a poor writer named Paul moves into her apartment complex, and they become friends. Over the course of the movie, Paul falls for Holly, and wants her to be happy, but knows he can't give her the lifestyle she desires. Paul is willing to change just to be with her and make her happy.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
