In This Article:

We don't need to wait until Valentine's Day to watch romantic movies. Romantic movies are like medicine for me. I need to watch them when I am depressed, when I am happy, when I broke up with a guy, when my crush asks me for a date, when my crush does not pay attention to me, when I feel lonely and when I am with my friends.

There is always an excuse to watch a movie where love wins, where the protagonist finds the perfect person, where at the end everybody lives happily ever after.

I want to share my favorite romantic movies; the ones I can watch a thousand times.

1. "Two Weeks Notice."

Facebook

It is my favorite romantic movie; actually, it is one of my favorite movies. In "Two Weeks Notice," we have the royalty of romantic movies: Huge Grant, the king, and Sandra Bullock, the queen.

Lucy (Bullock) is the kind of woman I want to be: independent, the best in her job; she is a lawyer graduated from Harvard; she fights for her beliefs; she does not forget where she came from; she is not looking for the perfect guy.

George (Grant) is a handsome, rich businessman. He is a playboy; he has a big charisma because he is a billionaire and good-looking, but he is nice with everybody, and he walks on the streets like all of us. He is the typical male protagonist; he is too cool to be ours.

The best about this film is they don't fall in love quickly. First, they learn how to live with the defects of the other and they are together in the worst moments. They make the decision of being together because they know each other deeply. (Warning: the only thing I don't like in the movie is Trump's cameo. It was 2004; Trump was cool at that moment).

2. "August Rush."

Facebook

I know this movie is too corny, but it is fantastic. We have in one movie: Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, and Robin Williams; also the soundtrack is wonderful because Rhys Meyers sings some of the songs.

The story is about Lyla (Russell) and Louis (Rhys Meyers), who fall in love in one night; however, they are separated by destiny. Lyla gets pregnant, but the day she gives birth, her father lies saying she lost the baby. The truth is the baby is alive, Evan (Highmore) was sent to an orphanage.

Evan grows up, and he shows a special talent for music. He believes the music is going to help him to find his parents. Evan only needs to make music.

Please, go and watch it. It is a beautiful movie.

3. "Just like Heaven."

Facebook

The first time I watched this film, I did not know what this movie was about it. I left the movie theater so happy; this movie makes me happy.

Mark Ruffalo, the other king of the romantic movies is David. He is having a depressed time because he just lost his wife. He rents an apartment in San Francisco trying to forget. Everything works well until Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon) appears as a "ghost."

David becomes Elizabeth's "ghost" friend. It is a crazy relationship, but this couple is going to make you laugh.

4. "Bridget Jone's Diary."

Facebook

I am talking about the first "Bridget Jone's Diary" (the other two parts are not good). I love the idea of a female protagonist who is not perfect. Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is a little overweight, she is not too smart, and she does not know to choose the good guy.

Bridget falls in love with Daniel (Hugh Grant) who is the typical playboy. Of course, Daniel plays with Bridget. In the meantime, Mark (Colin Firth) is around; first as a jerk and later with the best phrase ever: "I like you; just the way you are."

5. "As Good as It Gets."

Facebook

We have Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt together in a movie; the result: two Oscar winners. Melvin (Nicholson) is a novelist with obsessive-compulsive disorder. He is a kind of rude with everybody, even with Carol (Hunt) the waitress of his favorite restaurant. Carol has a complicated life with her asthmatic son, and she is the only one who tolerates Melvin.

We discover Melvin is not as bad as he looks like. He is a genuine soul who is in love with Carol, and he is willing to do anything for her.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. There is nothing a good romantic movie cannot solve.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
