After finding out his fiance has been cheating on him, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee (Adam Sandler) pretends to be married so he can enjoy dates with no strings attached. His web of lies works, but when he meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker)--the girl of his dreams--she resists involvement. Instead of coming clean, Danny enlists the help of his assistant, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to pose as his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Instead of solving Danny's problems, the lies create more trouble. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to make you laugh and leave you feeling good.

2. Clueless

Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is a rich and shallow teenager at the top of the Beverly Hills high school totem pole. She proves herself to be a master manipulator when she coaxes two teachers into dating each other in order to raise her grades and make school easier for everyone. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give the hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was and ends up falls for him. This timeless classic is sure to keep you entertained throughout its entirety.

A cynical TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) finds himself reliving the same day over and over again when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day. His predicament drives him to insanity until he sees a way of turning the situation to his advantage: he uses the opportunity to acquire new skills --piano playing and ice carving among them--and soon becomes the most admired man in Punxsutawney. By the movie's end, he grows to learn the key to life isn't what happens but how you react to it. This oldie but goodie is sure to keep you pressing repeat over and over again.

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!
