10 Movies You Should Be Watching To Get Into The Valentine's Day Spirit

Valentine's season is upon us, and you know what that means. It's time for a movie night! There's no better kind of movie to watch during Valentine's Day than a good, old-fashioned rom-com. Rom-coms make us laugh, make us cry, and believe in love every time. Here are some of the best romantic movies to watch for the perfect Valentine's Day movie night.

1. "Dirty Dancing"

Giphy

If you love dancing, 80's Patrick Swayze, and want to have the time of your life (See what I did there?), then "Dirty Dancing" is the movie for you! This movie is a whole lot of fun, with some amazing dance sequences and, of course, a beautiful summer love. Johnny and Baby are absolutely perfect for each other. You'll definitely want to try the iconic lift with your S.O. after watching this movie.

2. "The Princess Bride"

If anybody ever says the perfect movie doesn't exist, I'm just going to show them "The Princess Bride". This movie truly has it all, fairy tale romances, witty banter, and exciting adventures. This is probably the best fairy tale movie ever made, and it's the perfect movie to watch if you need some true love in your life.

3. "The Notebook"

Admit it, you want a love story just like Noah and Allie. Who doesn't want to grow old together with their soulmate? Their relationship is as timeless as it is lovely. Plus, it's coming to Netflix, so you'll be able to have a perfect Valentine's movie night.

4. "Beauty and the Beast"

If Disney is more your scene, this is the perfect movie for Valentine's Day. Pretty much every Disney movie talks about true love in one way or another, but no film does it as perfectly as "Beauty and the Beast". The animation is stunning, the music is perfect, and the story of love truly is a "tale as old as time".

5. "Pretty in Pink"

While you probably still can't decide whether Andie should have ended up with Blaine or Ducky, you can't deny that this movie is so sweet. This movie captures everything good about teenage romance, with enough teen angst to keep you invested. It was the 80's, after all.

6. "Can't Buy Me Love"

https://media.giphy.com/media/qhiPftTHwnxdK/giphy.gif

This one is an underrated classic, but it's still so good. This movie will teach you to look beyond surface level parts about a person, like popularity, and instead look at what's inside. It also makes riding away into the sunset on a lawnmower romantic. What other movie can do that?

7. "10 Things I Hate About You"

Giphy

There's nothing better than 90's Heath Ledger, and his banter with Julia Stiles is the stuff of legend. This movie is just as romantic as it is quotable and is the perfect 90's throwback for any movie night. It's the twist on a classic love story that we all need in our lives.

8. "Singin' in the Rain"

Giphy

This is the definitive musical. It really has it all, wonderful dance numbers, witty banter, and, of course, a sweet romance. Don and Kathy's relationship is as lovely as it is fiery, and they truly bring out the best in each other. The songs are also so good, you'll be humming them long after the movie is over.

9. "Titanic"

Giphy

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't like this movie. But, even I can't deny this is one of the most romantic movies of all time. Jack and Rose's brief love story is still one of the most beautiful in any movie ever and absolutely everyone fell in love with 90's Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean come on, there was totally enough room for both Rose and Jack on that door!

10. "While You Were Sleeping"

http://rebloggy.com/post/my-gifs-sandra-bullock-movie-gifs-romantic-comedy-while-you-were-sleeping-bill-p/54257920461

Please don't let the slightly creepy title fool you, this movie is actually really really sweet! You'll be cheering for Jack and Lucy long before she realizes she doesn't love his brother Peter, who's in a coma (This is where the story gets a little weird, but I promise you'll want to finish it). Watching Lucy find love during the Christmas season is so beautiful, and you'll be cheering for her long before the movie is over. Basically, this is the perfect movie (Besides "The Princess Bride", of course).

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
