I don't know about you, but I am always searching for new movies to watch especially during the cold winter months. I decided to put a list together of some of my favorite movies that might go a little unnoticed compared to other trending movies!

1. Stuck in Love

This movie is hands down my favorite movie in the entire world. If you need a movie with comedy, romance, and relatable characters... this is it. It's basically the story of three relationships each at very different stages in their life. Someone please start a petition to get this movie back on Netflix!

2. Zodiac

Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr.? Heck yes. This suspenseful unsolved murder mystery was must recently added on Netflix and I loved it, highly recommend if you're looking for a good thriller.

3. Soul Surfer

I think that this movie is one of the best ways to start off 2018. Based on a true story about the surfer Bethany Hamilton, this movie will inspire you to overcome challenges and never give up. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

4. The Pursuit of Happiness

This movie was just put on Netflix and I am so happy. Will Smith and his son create a heartwarming story about a father and son who face adversity in San Francisco and teaches the importance of hard work and love. (Yes the title is spelled like that)

5. Source Code

Warning this movie will totally mess with your mind but that is one of the reasons why I absolutely love this movie. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a helicopter pilot who is a part of a top-secret mission for the military. I guarantee this movie will have your attention for the full 93 minutes.

6. Brooklyn

Stop what you're doing right now and watch this with your mother. Brooklyn is (in my opinion) the closest movie to the Notebook that I have seen.

7. The Perks of Being A Wallflower

Not only is this movie filled with the best quotes and inspirational words, the acting is incredible. Based on the book, it is a coming of age drama follows an introverted boy journey through high school. Yes, I ball my eyes out during this movie every time so make sure you have a box of tissues with you at all time!

8. Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is a comedy-drama road trip film that follows a family going on an 800-mile road trip to the grand daughter's beauty pageant. One day I will have a yellow VW bus like their family does!

9. Hacksaw Ridge

I gave a movie to watch with your mom now this is the perfect movie to watch with your dad. I watched this in theaters with my Grandpa and we loved it. This movie is also based on a true story and is truly inspiring!

10. The Judge

This movie is very serious and at times sad but wow is it good. Robert Downy Jr. plays a successful attorney who returns home to his family. Not only is this movie wildly entertaining but it has an amazing soundtrack.

11. Glory Road

Need an inspiring Sports movie to watch like The Blindside? Then this is your movie!

12. My Cousin Vinny

One of the most underrated and under-appreciated movie of all time, My Cousin Vinny was shown to me by my parents when I was little and has always been one of my favs. If you need a laugh, watch this movie.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
