There's still time to stay in bed and binge!

Being home for break with no work and no motivation to leave your bed allows for a lot of time to watch movies and relax! Over the past few weeks I have watched too many movies to even count. I literally can be sitting doing my makeup and I will just throw a movie on. Here are my top four movie recommendations to watch this break!

1. The Dressmaker

This movie was truly one of the best movies I have ever seen, full of incredible costumes and stacked with an incredible cast. It takes place in a small town in rural Australia, telling the tale of a young woman who becomes an established dressmaker. This movie features elements of history, mystery, romance, and comedy all through an incredible story line.

2. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

This movie is the perfect choice for anyone who loves watching just incredibly stupid but funny comedies. The story line is set up well for the movie, and is definitely helped by the casting of Zac Efron and Adam Devine. What's better than a comedy starring Zac Efron in Hawaii? In my opinion, that's hard to beat.


3. Burlesque

I have to say, I think that every time I see this movie it just gets better. The music and dancing is just incredible, and who doesn't love watching Cher? I am not the biggest fan of the story line just because it is pretty predictable, but altogether it has been one of my favorite movies for a very long time. I could listen to the songs from this movie on repeat for weeks; Christina Aguilera and Cher's voices are just amazing!

4. 22 Jump Street

Ever since I was younger I have been watching reruns of the old 21 Jump Street show, so obviously, I was going to have to see the new movies coming out about the old show. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are by far the best duo in any Hollywood production ever, so this movie was basically guaranteed to be a success. It is so funny and done so well, and, more importantly, it was filmed at TULANE!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
