We all have bad days and we all have certain things that comfort us during bad days! Some of us have books we like to read or songs we can listen to, and some of us turn to movies to occupy our minds. Now, this comfort movie might not be our favorite movie, but it's the one we turn to when we need it.

For this article I asked my friends and family on social media what their "go to" movie is when having a bad day. Here are their responses! Some of them are mentioned more than once and some are very unlikely contenders, and a lot of them star Tom Hanks and Adam Sandler, but they're all great movies to make you feel good!

If you had a long day a work, got into an argument with a friend, or maybe you're going through a break up, here is a list of movies to help you out and some reasons why they are loved!

Christine's Go To Movies!

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

This is my all time favorite movie! It always changes my mood no matter how upset I may be. I can watch it over and over again and never get sick of it! I like to watch it alone so that i can say all the lines out loud! I own it on DVD, Amazon, and iTunes, so that I always have access to it when I need it! The story just makes me to happy!


2. A Cinderella Story

(the ORIGINAL) Is easily my second favorite movie. I also own it on DVD,

Amazon, and iTunes. It just makes me feel good! The story, the music, and the

actors are all huge reasons why this movie can turn my day around.




3. Friends With Benefits

This is another one that always puts a huge smile on my face! I love Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and this movie never fails to make me laugh!




4).Toy Story!

Yes, another Tom Hanks movie! I am a huge Toy Story fan! I have Toy Story shoes, t shirts, and a home made Buzz Lightyear Halloween Costume. These movies mean so much to me and always take me back to my childhood! I used to watch them with my Dad as a kid so they always remind me of good memories and put me in a good mood!

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
