10 Summer Movies I'm Excited To See

Everyone knows that the best movies come out during the summer. Something about warmer weather makes movies seem even more appealing to me. This also seems to hold true for others as well, because most of the blockbuster movies happen during the summer months. Summer of 2016 is no exception to this rule. Several great movies are slated to be released during the summer of 2016 and I cannot wait to see them. Here are the 10 movies that I am most excited to see during the summer of 2016.

1. Me Before You

Me Before You is based on the book of the same name. It tells the story of Louisa Clark, a young girl, who takes on the job of caretaker to Will Traynor, a man who is paralyzed from the neck down. Louisa and Will subsequently begin to fall in love. Starring Emila Clarke from Game of Thrones and Sam Claflin from The Hunger Games series, this movie is at the top of my must see list. I'm a hopeles romantic and I can tell just from the trailer that this movie is the real deal.

2. The Conjuring II


In addition to being a hopeless romantic, I am also a horror movie junkie. The first Conjuring movie scared me more than I have ever been scared by a horror movie, so I can only imagine what this movie will do to me. The Conjuring 2 is based on the true events involving Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), a husband and wife team of paranormal investigators. In this movie, the Warrens travel to Enfield, England to help a single mother and children who are being terrorized by a poltergeist in their home. The trailer for this movie scared me, so I can only imagine how I will react to the movie.

3. Finding Dory

I absolutely loved Finding Nemo. Dory was by far my favorite character from the movie and even though I am 18 years old, I am still looking forward to watching this movie. Finding Dory takes place six months after the events of Finding Nemo. Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), who is a very forgetful fish, begins to recall memories of her family and enlists the help of Marlin and Nemo to find her parents.

4. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates


Anna Kendrick and Zac Efron are two of my favorite actors. Throw in comedy and rowdiness and you can't go wrong. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates centers around hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) Stangle, who are forced to find presentable dates for their sister's wedding by their parents. The boys place an online ad, which is answered by two equally as wild girls, Tatiana (Aubrey Plaza) and Alice (Anna Kendrick), who pass themselves off as respectable young ladies. Of course this backfires, but hey, we get laughs in the process.

5. The Secret Life of Pets

This is quite possibly the cutest movie that I will ever have the pleasure to see. The Secret Life of Pets tells the story of Max (Louis C.K.), who is a spoiled Jack Russel, fighting for attention from his own after she adopts Duke (Eric Stonestreet). Soon, Max and Duke must join forces to stop Snowball (Kevin Hart), a deranged rabbit, from wreaking havoc on the pets of Manhattan.

6. Suicide Squad

I also happen to be a huge fan of the Marvel and DC comic movies. This movie is going to be great in my opinion because who doesn't love a good villian. Starring big hollywood names such as Will Smith, Viola Davis, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevigne and Jared Leto, Suicide Squad centers around a group of villians who are employed by the government to take on black ops missions in exchange for release from prison. I cannot wait to see this movie, particularly to see Jared Leto's portrayal of the Joker.

7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

I know this doesn't sound like a movie I would be interested in watching, but hear me out. I grew up watching the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies and when they did a remake, I absolutely had to watch it. I loved it. Now with the second movie coming out, I am more than ready. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows takes place after the events of the first movie. The turtles come out of the shadows and reveal themselves to society in the wake of a resurgence from the Foot Clan and the Shredder.

8. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

The first Neighbors movie was quite possibly one of the funniest and raunchiest movies I have ever seen. I can only imagine how it will be in the sequel. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising follows Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) Radner as they reunite with Teddy (Zac Efron) to take down a new sorority headed by Shelby (Chloe Grace Moretz) after she was rejected from Phi Lamda Phi by Madison (Selena Gomez).

9. X-Men: Apocalypse

I am a huge fan of the X-Men franchise and I am very excited to watch this movie. X-Men: Apocalypse follows Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) as he leads a group of young mutants to face the powerful mutant Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) as he trys to detroy the world and all humanity. The third installment of the X-Men prequel franchise, Apocalypse looks like it will be a great movie.

10. Bad Moms


I don't know much about this movie, but after reading the synopsis, it sounds like it will be a very funny movie. Bad Moms follows three mothers with seemingly perfect lives who are tired of being perfect. So they decide to go out and do the most un-mom like things they can, which eventually brings them face-to-face with the president of the PTA and the other so called "perfect" moms. I'm really interested to see how this movie will play out.

These are just some of the movies that will be released this summer and the movies that I am most excited to see. I hope this gave you some ideas for movies you can see this summer, I know I'll be standing in line for my tickets.

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.
