10 Movies To Watch When You Want To Pretend You're Not An Adult

Childhood is short, but it doesn't mean you can't go back and live it again.

Over the past few weeks, my life has been crazy hectic. I have had to adjust getting back into the groove of things with college classes starting and finding the time to do everything else that absolutely needs to get done. (Hint: see my recent article "For Those With The Apartment From Hell") So, while I've been forced to grow up and start acting more like an adult, which isn't fun because let's face it, it can be scary sometimes when all you really want is your parents to be right by your side. I've thought back to the good ol' days when life was less complicated. And when I had days were I could relax, get cozy on the couch with a blanket, and enjoy a movie.

Back at home, my family owns a TON of movies. It's ridiculous. You could watch a different movie every day for a year. I have many childhood movies that I love to watch. Over and over again. Once, I watched a movie for the entirety of my Thanksgiving break and that should give you an idea of the standard of the movies that had made this list. Without further aduo here's a list of some of my favorite childhood movies, so pop open a coke, slam that bag of buttery popcorn into the microwave, plop your keister on that comfy couch, and...hope to God that it's on Netflix.

Thank me later!


1. "The Parent Trap" (1998)

2. "Annie" (1982)

3. Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

4. My Date with the President's Daughter

5. Hocus Pocus

6. A Cinderella Story

7. Jumanji (1995)

8. Adventure's in Babysitting (1987)

9. Freaky Friday (2003)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
