Time Out

The month of January does not seem to want to end, and not for lack of trying. The past week has felt like one of the longest weeks in history, for more than a few reasons. With all the negative news circling around our media these days, it seems everyone could use a good pick-me-up, or at least a brief escape to a different universe where it doesn't seem like the planet is falling apart. If you're in desperate need for an escape from the usual chaos, here's a list of a few of the most popular comedies and feel-good movies to help you catch a much needed break.


1. We're The Millers

If Jennifer Aniston isn't queen of the RomComs, I don't know who is.

2. Friends With Benefits

For every person who's tried the FWB thing.

3. Crazy Stupid Love

Ryan Gosling. Just, Ryan Gosling.

4. Legally Blonde

I think we could all use Elle's optimism right about now.

And her coping mechanisms.

5. Bridesmaids

Life lessons everywhere.

6. Eat Pray Love

Same.

7. Easy A

Hint: it's not Tom Cruise.

8. Bride Wars

Hmmm...Anne Hathaway might give Jen a run for her money.

9. Horrible Bosses

And speaking of Jen, she's how old in this movie? #goals


10. The Hundred-Foot Journey

Humorous, heartwarming, and Helen Mirren: the feel-good trifecta.

11. Bridget Jones' Diary

12. Trainwreck

The movie that said, "World, meet Amy Schumer."


13. Spy

The world could use a Susan Cooper.

14. Meet the Fockers

15. Pitch Perfect

And a Fat Amy. Definitely a Fat Amy.

16. How To Be Single

But maybe just having Rebel Wilson will do.

17. Date Night

18. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

But actually - Zac Efron's biceps though.

19. The Proposal

Ah, Ryan Reynolds. My personal favorite Ryan.

20. Bad Teacher

21. Just Go With It

Again, she's how old?!

22. The Other Woman

Cameron Diaz's last stand and Jaime Lannister as the womanizer. Forever one of my favorites.

PS: Shout out to Nicki Minaj's random AF cameo.

23. Bad Moms

You will never look at your mom the same way again.

24. Superbad

McLovin, a cultural icon.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
