Down in the dumps? You don't want to do anything and just want to relax? Pop some popcorn, a lot of popcorn actually. Put one of these movies in your DVD player and let your worries slip away with any one of these movies.

1. Clueless

This is a classic that can always cheer you up. It will give you the confidence to have Cher's attitude and persistence to get over whatever is getting you down.

2. Legally Blonde

This movie empowers anyone that has ever had someone tell them they can't do something. Channel your inner Elle Woods and prove everyone wrong.

3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Take some time and watch this, learn that it's okay to take a day off and enjoy everything that life has to offer you.

4. Erin Brockovich

Erin Brockovich is a bad a** and she doesn't take it from anyone. Take matters in your own hands and stand up for yourself and others.

5. The Hangover

Everything about this movie is great and if you disagree, you're entitled to your own wrong opinion, but this movie will always cheer you up.

6. Mean Girls

This had to be on the list because this is and will always be a classic. Quoting this movie from start to finish will make you feel so much better, promise.

7. The Heat

This duo is an automatic emotional boost, you'll be laughing too much to even think about why you're sad!

8. Bridesmaids

This movie is great to watch if you've been in a rut for awhile, not only is it funny, but it makes you realize that you need to change some things in order to be happy sometimes.

9. 13 Going on 30

This is possibly one of the most underrated movies and it is such a good mood booster. You may want to rush through your life, but you might miss out on something right in front of you if you do that.

10. High School Musical

This doesn't even need any comment.

11. The Little Rascals

This movie is just too cute to be upset.

12. Forrest Gump

Granted this movie makes just about anyone cry, it makes you so happy because Tom Hanks and Forrest is so kind and doesn't care what anyone says. Always a favorite.

13. Mrs. Doubtfire

First of all, anything with Robin Williams (rest in peace, legend) is automatically funny and great. The is a childhood classic that will always brighten my day.

14. Up

Besides the heart-wrenching beginning, this movie is so great and cute.

15. John Tucker Must Die

Girls coming together to take down a guy who hurt them all, girl power at its finest.

16. The Devil Wears Prada

This movie is funny and empowering, two things that can sure cheer you up.

17. The Blindside

This movie can be really sad but it still makes you feel really good inside. Plus Sandra Bullock is perfect.

18. The Princess Diaries

Another great classic, Julia Andrews, and Anne Hathaway, what more could you want?

19. Dirty Dancing

Patrick Swayze. 'Nuff said.

Watching movies is better and cheaper than therapy, so might as well use that tv/laptop and enjoy a movie or six.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
