Some of my favorite movies that I think everyone should see!

6 Every Movie Lover Should See
Movie Marker

I've never really been a big movie fan until the past couple of years but in the past couple of years I have stumbled upon some amazing movies. Comedy, horror, serious, dramatic, gory, you name it and I've probably seen a few movies from that category. Amongst all these genres of movie I have come to find my favorites and I figured I'd share them. Here are my favorite movies of all time!

1. "Pulp Fiction"

This is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. Arguably the best movie ever, even though IMDB says it is the 7th best. Quentin Tarantino, the director of this movie, is a genius. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to be Mia Wallace. The cinematography rocks and the plot keeps you on your feet the whole time. Each scene connects to each other in such an interesting and unexpected way and I love it. This movie also has some of my favorite quotes ever. Not to mention the amazing soundtrack. There isn’t anything about this movie that I don’t love. It will forever be my favorite movie.

2. "Full Metal Jacket"

I’m not a big “war movie” kinda girl. In fact, nine times out of ten, I hate any movie about war, because war doesn’t interest me and it’s usually just shown for special effects and explosions. If I wanted that, I’d watch a Michael Bay movie. This movie is great though, it has a fantastic wow-factor and the plot keeps your attention the whole time. One thing I really love about this movie is the way the characters are portrayed and their character progression is shown.

3. "The Blind Side"

Alright, here's my girly movie. "The Blind Side" is a heart wrenching movie and will forever be a household favorite. Sandra Bullock is future mom goals for me in this movie. Not only is she sassy and bossy, but she's also compassionate and has an awesome wardrobe. The story of Michael Oher is one that touches my heart every time.

4. "The Shining"

This is my favorite scary movie of all time. I’m not big into gory horror movies so this movie still has the eerie feeling without all the gore. I appreciate Stanley Kubrick's take on this Stephen King novel. This movie has so many twists and turns and the actors and actresses picked for this movie make it even better. Jack Nicholson is perfect for the ominous character of Jack. The scene where he breaks through the door with an ax gives me chills every time. There's also a very good movie explaining a lot of minor details of this movie called "Room 237" that I would recommend to anyone who has seen "The Shining."

5. "Gone Girl"

I only recently watched this movie and I was a little bit late to seeing it, but man, it was a good one. The plot is very interesting and the way they set the timing of the movie is interesting too, but they do it in such a way that your attention is constantly on the movie and you’re just confused enough to still be interested.

6. "The Big Lebowski"

This movie is my favorite comedic classic of all time. The dude is truly an inspiration of mine. This movie takes you on a rollercoaster in the life of Jeff Lebowski, better known as "the dude." He gets caught up in a whirlwind all because someone soiled his carpet because they had him confused with another man. The Coen brothers did an excellent job with this movie and I would recommend it to anyone!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
