10 Movies To Watch When You're Feeling Down

We all have those days where we just need a good pick-me-up. Personally, I think the right movies can turn a bad day into a good one right away. Here are 10 movies that will surely make you feel better in no time!

1. Grease (1978)

I've relied on this classic countless number of times when I need to drift away into another time when life just seemed better.


2. The Lego Movie (2014)

Just the main theme song can put a giant smile on our faces. Life is awesome and we must always remember that, even when we are feeling down.


3. The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Especially when we are having the blues of not being home when away at college, this time-honored movie reminds us of the importance of friendship and where we come from.


4. Forrest Gump (1994)

If you haven't seen this movie, you should watch it right after you finish reading this. "Forrest Gump" teaches us so many life lessons that we can apply to our own lives. One of the most timeless classics of all time.


5. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

What we all wish we could do on our days off, especially when the cause of our blues is that we just don't want to go to class.


6. Billy Madison (1995)

When we are feeling down because of school, "Billy Madison" can easily be the solution to help us feel better. The movie tells us to never give up on ourselves no matter what anyone says.


7. Despicable Me (2010)

Who can resist the Minions? No one. All they do is bring joy. Formula for a good day: Bed + "Despicable Me" = Happiness.


8. Bridesmaids (2011)

A combination of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy would brighten anyone's day. This movie brings both comedy and happiness into all our lives.


9. Up (2009)

If you simply want a feel good cartoon with a very good message, "Up" is the movie to watch. It is very bittersweet, inspires us and teaches us never to put our dreams on hold for "someday".


10. Step Brothers (2008)

No one can argue that this movie is easily one of the funniest and most quotable movies around. Not only can we laugh at these two, we can somewhat relate.


Whether you're having a bad day or feeling blue, any of these movies can easily make your mood so much better. Feeling blue is only a temporary feeling and these movies can get you feeling better in no time!

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.
