12 Movies To Watch In 2018
studybreaks

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.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
