​4 Lifetime Movies That Are Horrendously Spectacular

Lifetime Movie Network, thank you for entertaining my sick days since I was probably 11 years old. My side comments during a Lifetime movie drama tend to go a bit like this:

"Wow. Why am I still watching this?"

"SHE DID NOT JUST DO THAT. WHAT?! NO WAY."

"I knew that was going to happen."

"I could act better than this."

*feels tears streaming down face* "I am a hormonal mess.."

Here are 4 LMN movies that I love for their slightly awful nature.

1. Reviving Ophelia

Book by Mary Pipher? Incredible. Movie? Lackluster. Although I say that, I still watch it any time I see it pop up when scrolling through Direct TV's menu. Honestly, the plot is intense and terrifying and heartbreaking all at the same time. I mean, hiding an abusive boyfriend from your closest friends and family? That's a real life, big girl situation. I think the reason that I like to watch this movie is because I want to shake some sense into Elizabeth the whole time. The first time I watched the movie all the way through I realized I had cried three times. Three times. It's a tale of escaping domestic violence, honesty, and the importance of family. Yes, it is overly dramatic. But it's a peek into the dangers of abusive relationships without all the language and sex. (Sometimes that is just too much for people. If that is you, watch this. You'll like it and you'll cry).

2. The Pregnancy Pact

The title says it all. High school girls decide they want to have babies. They all get pregnant. It's ridiculous. Watch it.

3. A Sister's Nightmare

Maybe I love this movie because I love Kelly Rutherford more than I love pizza. This movie is overly dramatic, just like any other of its kind, but it is actually quite enthralling. It's hard to say too much without spoiling the plot for you if you've yet to see it. I guess that doesn't give you much of a choice if you want to know what happens! Some of you will be shocked, and others will probably say "well that was predictable." Just watch it.

4. Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy

Now, I love Hayden Panettiere, probably why I watched this movie in the first place.. Amanda Knox (Hayden Panettiere) stands trial for the murder of roommate, Meredith Kercher (Amanda Stevens). While the portrayal of distress is incredibly awkward, it is a good documentary to watch if you are interested in hearing an emotional perspective on the trial, and if you're like me, seeing one of your favorite childhood actors perform in a more serious dialogue.


Next time you have the flu or want to procrastinate on a term paper, have at it.

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.
