What to watch during quarantine

In This Article:

Since our world got turned upside down, I'll admit I've been spending a lot of time watching movies. If not to escape from the often sad reality, but to broaden my horizons. Here is a short list of some of my favorite movies I've watched during these past few months!

Ladybird (2018)

A beautifully written, wonderfully executed coming-of-age movie. The subtle humor and painfully real strained parent-child relationships within this story makes this movie incredible relatable.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

An extremely intriguing story with a heartbreaking romance. The strangeness of this idea is what immediately draws you in, but then the life-long wisdom and unconditional love keeps you viciously committed.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)

The unadulterated humor and refreshing film-style of this move is what makes it one of my favorites of all time. Scott Pilgrim is a perfectly real protagonist with an extremely outlandish story which makes it all the more fun to watch.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

A beautifully unique art-style with consistent humor and drama. This movie is a comfort for its ability to be re-watched endlessly along with its hyper-compelling and relatable protagonist, Miles Morales.

The Help (2011)

One of the most compelling stories ever told, from start to finish. This movie will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and yell. It's a must watch, especially for the times we live in.

Although this is a relatively short list, these movies are all ones that I can watch over and over without getting tired of them. During a time like this, we should all be exploring new things- whether that be books, hobbies, shows, movies, or even practices. I hope you can find something you enjoy regardless of the circumstance.

Happy watching!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
