13 Great Movies You Probably Forgot About That You Need To Watch Again

It's movie night, and it's your turn to pick a movie. But you can't think of anything. Don't worry. Below I have complied a list of 13 really great movies you can watch again and again, and they're ones you probably forgot about.

1. "Across The Universe"

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time, and just so happens to be a musical. This movie follows teenagers during the Vietnam War, and it incorporates a bunch of Beetles songs. Stop reading this article now, go watch the movie, then come back and finish reading this article. You won't regret it.

2. "Riding In The Car With Boys"

Anytime I don't know what to watch, I throw this movie on. It's one of my mom and I's favorites. I've probably watched this movie a hundred times. Just go watch it.

3. "Uptown Girls"

I recently rediscovered this movie (on Netflix) after YEARS of forgetting about it. This movie made me want to get a pet pig, Egyptian cotton sheets, and date a guy who could play the guitar.

4. "Confessions Of A Teenaged Drama Queen"

If you ever found yourself at age 8 really really wanting to be Lola (Lindsey Lohan), you aren't alone. Her life was just so beautifully tragic, or was she just dramatic. Watch to find out.

5. "Legally Blonde"

In just a few short months, I will start applying to law school. I would be lying if I said Elle Woods didn't help to inspire me to go to law school. I would also be lying if I said I haven't watched this movie a million times.

6. "Blue Lagoon"

This movie is not like the others, but still must be watched again and again. This movie was the first movie to make me cry. I'm still crying. WHY DID THEY EAT THOSE BERRIES?!

7. "Knocked Up"

This was my baby sister's favorite movie when she was three. I don't know why. How did they get her fake pregnant belly to look so real? I don't know how.

8. "Never Been Kissed"

Any Drew Barrymore movie from the early 2000s, no, ANY movie Drew Barrymore stars in must be watched again and again, including this one. If you could get another chance at high school, would you take it?

9. "Father Of The Bride" Part 1 & 2

These two movies are the kind of movies that make you say "That was cute" when they end. I've always secretly hoped my mom and I would end up pregnant together because of this movie, but shh, don't tell her I said that.

10. "Cheaper By The Dozen"

I think the only reason why I love this movie so much is because my last name is Baker, and so is the family's in the movie. Get it, a Baker's Dozen. I love that.

11. "Look Who's Talking"

This one is OLD. But it is seriously CUTE. Ever wonder what happens in the mind of a baby, or a dog. Wonder no more. This movie has it covered.

12. "Big Daddy"

Adam Sandler, and baby Dylan and Cole Sprouse, what more could you ask for? I'm still laughing about when he covers the kid puke with newspaper, or dresses up like Scuba Steve. What a classic.

13. "Meet The Parents" (and it's sequels)

Before Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers, there was Meet the Parents. You guys, he gets nervous and tells his fiance's parents he milked a cat. Everyone can relate to that.

I have grown up watching all of these movies again and again. While trying to escape the heat this summer, lock yourself in a dark room, turn the A/C on high, and let the binge watching begin. You're welcome.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
