Everybody has had one of those days where they just don't feel good. Whether you're sick, tired, or just a little down, sometimes all you can do is lay in bed and watch your favorite movies to lift your spirits. Here are ten of my all-time favorite sick day movies. Enjoy!

1. "Mulan" (1998)

I know this is a kid's movie but come on, it's "Mulan"! So funny, so empowering, and it has the best soundtrack ever.

2. "Mamma Mia" (2008)

This fun musical (that takes place in Greece, by the way) will have you singing along at the top of your lungs.

3. "The Princess Bride" (1987)

An absolute classic. "The Princess Bride" has everything: true love, adventure, humor, sword fighting, and friendship.

4. "The Proposal" (2009)

My all time favorite romantic comedy. Betty White, Ryan Reynolds, and Sandra Bullock… need I say more?

5. "The Princess Diaries" (2001)

"The Princess Diaries" makes me feel like anybody can be a princess, and sometimes I just need that.

6. "Beauty and the Beast" (2017)

Make sure to watch the 2017 version with Emma Watson and not the old cartoon. It's so much better.

7. "Moana" (2016)

media.giphy.com

I've been obsessed with this movie since it came out two years ago. "How Far I'll Go" is my anthem.

8. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (2001)

media.giphy.com

Before the "Harry Potter" movies get super dark and depressing, we have "The Sorcerer's Stone". It's a magical gem filled with friendship that will make you wish you could join Harry and his friends at Hogwarts.

9. "Star Wars A New Hope" (1977)

media.giphy.com

This isn't exactly a happy go lucky movie, but I've been watching it since I was a little kid so it still gives me all the nostalgic feels.

10. "A Knight's Tale" (2001)

media.giphy.com

The most underrated movie of all time. I can't even explain it. Just watch it

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
