My Summer Movie List: Classics Edition

7 Classic Movies that I Hope to Watch this Summer

Apr 21, 2017

Every since I was introduced to Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's by my awesome Aunt Terri, I have LOVED old movies. There is just something about them that makes them so special compared to watching a movie that was made today. I always get a different feeling when I watch an old movie verses newer ones! So one of my goals this summer is to check some major classics off of my list. I'm hoping that I will inspire people to join me in my old movie summer marathon (haha). If you love old movies as much as I do, then you will hopefully enjoy reading my list! If you see any classics that you love, comment and let me know what you think!

My Summer Movie List: Classics Edition:

1. Casablanca

I know what you are probably thinking, "How has she not seen Casablanca?!" My answer is that I have no idea (haha). But I have been DYING to see it and this is going to be the summer that I watch it! If you haven't seen it, you should. It is a classic after all!

2. Mildred Pierce

Ever since I started watching the tv show Feud on FX, a show about the strained relationship of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, I have been really interested in seeing more of their movies. Mildred Pierce is one of Crawford's movies that I am really hoping to see!

3. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Of course after seeing the TV show Feud, I REALLY want to see this movie! It is a horror classic and I love that it was based off of a book so maybe I will try to read the book this summer before I watch it. But if you haven't seen it and you watch the show, you should! It's a horror classic!

4. The Philadelphia Story

This is another one that I have wanted to watch for awhile now! Katharine Hepburn is a rock star! If you love her and have not seen this movie, it is a must!

5. Rebecca

I have had the book Rebecca for a while now and I have wanted to read it before I saw the movie. So putting the movie on my list is my way of making sure I finally read the book so I can watch the movie this summer!

6. Charade

I love both Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn! This one is on Netflix so it will be easy to watch and I heard it was really good! If you haven't seen this one, you should try it!

7. Roman Holiday

I own this movie and I haven't seen it yet! This is going to be the summer when I watch it!

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

10 Things About Finals Week

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
