Valentines Day on Thursday, February 14th is coming up. But even more QUICKLY approaching is ~~Galentines Day~~ on February 13th. Galentines is about "ladies celebrating ladies." So round up your best gals, put on your best face masks and coziest pants, and watch one of the movies below!!

1. Sex and the City: The Movie

Netflix

A bougie girl power movie! Follow Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda, and Carrie as they embark on another adventure, beginning with heartbreak, ending with love, and filled with ridiculously lavish vacations and fancy shoes. This is available on Netflix.

2. Girls Trip

A raunchy, girl power movie! This over-the-top movie is a lot like a more fun, crazy, modern version of Sex and the City. The women go to NOLA for the Essence Festival. They have multiple run-ins with police, press, men, and even a zipline. Currently available on Redbox.

3. A Simple Favor

Instagram: @asimplefavor

A mysterious, risqué movie! This movie features Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, and ~Henry Golding~. Blake's character goes missing, Anna tries to find her, while developing a romance with Blake's husband, Henry. A disaster. Super chic and a hint of dark humor. Available on Redbox.

4. TAG

Instagram: @tagthemovie

A funny, lighthearted adventure movie! I am a big fan of this movie, because I love the fact that it is based on a true story. A group of men playing tag once a month since childhood. They infiltrate each other's homes, workplaces, and even weddings to tag each other. Hilarious antics and conniving plans. Available on Redbox.

5. 13 Going On 30

Instagram: @dreamingysl

An adorably cheesy, girly movie! This early 2000's movie featuring Jennifer Garner is a feel good, cute commentary on growing up and GIRL POWER! You can watch this on Amazon Prime for $2.99.

6. Clueless

Instagram: @cluelessthemovie

A sassy, totally 90's iconic movie! As if!! This total valley girl movie is the OG Mean Girls. Cher's iconic yellow plaid outfit has made more Halloween costumes than I can count. Hilariously 90's and featuring a young Paul Rudd! You can also rent this classic for $2.99 on Amazon Prime.

7. Mamma Mia

Instagram: @mammamiamovie

A sing-along, quirky movie! This is my 2nd favorite movie of all time. You may initially think it's about a wedding, but it is really about finding out who Sophie's father is, while learning about the hijinks and relationships of Donna (MERYL STREEP) and her three past lovers. My favorite part is the old-ish lady trio, Donna and the Dynamos. Just watch this movie and sing your heart out to ABBA classics. Available on Netflix.

8. Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again

Instagram: @mammamiamovie

An even BETTER sing-along, even MORE quirky movie! What's the only thing better than Mamma Mia?? ANOTHER Mamma Mia!! I think the songs in this one are even better than the first. Waterloo. When I Kissed the Teacher?? This movie is absolute madness, featuring 72-year-old Cher being 69-year-old Meryl Streep's mother. You can probably rent this online somewhere, but I recommend going out and buying the DVD. And keeping it with you at all times. I just love this movie.

9. What Happened to Monday

Instagram: @movie_review18

A dark, suspenseful movie! If you guys are in the mood for an action packed, mysterious thriller set in a dystopian society with strange rules, watch this movie. You guys will be on the edge of your seats wondering WHAT happened to Monday?? Available on Netflix!!

10. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Instagram: @artist_with_a_body

A random, giggly movie! For the fun group of gals with dry senses of humor that love BBC. This British movie will have you guys laughing the entire time at the proposterous-ness of this movie, as well as shouting lovable phrases like, "It's just a flesh wound!!," "Three, sir, three!!," and "We are the knights who say... NI" This is now available on Netflix!!

I hope these movies contribute to your best Galentine's yet!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
