10 Romance Movies To Watch On 'Sappy Sunday'
Collider.com

There are so many romance movies out there that it is super easy to find something to watch when you're really feeling sappy and in the mood to have a good cry or laugh. My friends and I have now deemed Sundays as "Sappy Sundays," which just means that we cry together once a week because none of these things happen to us. This list is in no particular order but they're just some of my favorites that I think everyone should watch at least once.

1. Me Before You

If you haven't seen this movie, then stop everything you're doing (even reading this article) and watch it. This movie will destroy all of your emotions but you won't even care because of how much you love Lou and Will. You won't care that Will Traynor pulls you in with his good looks and charm and you won't care that Lou seems to think she can change his mind, which makes you think there's a small sliver of hope.

2. The Notebook

This is just one of those movies that you have to watch with someone. I mean, you can watch it alone like I did the first time, but I promise that you will want to cry with someone throughout the entire movie. The romance that is played out onscreen is one that you wish you had for yourself (except when they break up). Allie and Noah as teenagers are everything that you want to be.

3. Stuck in Love

No matter how you feel about love and romance, you will identify with at least one of these characters. You may be completely cynical about love like Samantha or you may be completely inexperienced like Rusty, but this movie will keep your attention the entire time. It will make you really happy and then it will make you super sad just toying with your emotions. You just want at least one person to have a happy ending in the end because in the end you know that you're a hopeless romantic at heart.

4. The Princess Bride

If my boyfriend ever said this line to me I would marry him in an instant. While this isn't the most cliché romance movie out there, it definitely deserves to be on this list because Princess Buttercup and Westley are super cute together. Westley fighting for Princess Buttercup just makes me want someone to fight for me like that (this is probably why I'll be single forever).

5. The Proposal

This movie is one of my favorite movies ever. Not only is it super cute and romantic but it's also super funny which makes it that much better. I haven't been able to decide if I like Betty White's character more than the actual romance plot but either way, "The Proposal" will go down as an all time favorite. This is the perfect date night movie.

6. Friends With Benefits

Let me just start by saying Justin Timberlake is a dreamboat. This movie might not have laid out the best way to fall in love with someone but that doesn't make it any less funny. It made you completely identify with Mila Kunis' character and what you want because, yes, you get pissed when someone doesn't want to cuddle with you.

7. The Last Song

This is where you believed true love could exist not only in movies but also real life. You believed everything these characters did onscreen because of how much chemistry Miley and Liam had. No other movie made you feel really, really good and then make you cry all within the span of five minutes. You just hope one day that you can spend a summer saving turtle eggs and swimming in aquarium tanks with your future husband.

8. Life As We Know It

Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigel make the best and cutest parents ever. You just want them to get together right away but the fact they don't until the end of the movie makes it so much more satisfying. You also really enjoyed the fact that Josh Duhamel went by Messer and even though he had a motorcycle he still had a soft spot for Holly and Sophie making your heart melt.

9. 10 Things I Hate About You

This is another perfect date night movie because while it is a romance movie there is not a whole lot of romance. Throughout the movie you just want Kat to realize how much she likes Patrick and you just want her to say yes to him so bad when he asks her to prom. You're also rooting for Cameron in his pursuit of Bianca and you just want to shake her making her realize how much better of a guy he is. Plus, Heath Ledger plays the main character, which makes it that much better.

10. Crazy Stupid Love

Yet another movie that will go down as an all time favorite romance movie. The three intertwined plot lines makes it so much more interesting to watch. The best part is when Hannah's dad is the guy her boyfriend, Jacob has been helping. You can't help but laugh every time you watch this movie because of the abundance of jokes involved.


No matter how you feel about love and romance, you will at least identify with some of these crazy characters. While you may not be a hopeless romantic but deep down you wish some of these things could magically happen to you. (Again this will probably be why I am single for the rest of my life)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
