4 Movie Ideas for Valentine's Day
Seeking Alpha

How are you going to celebrate your Valentine's Day? How about dinner followed by movies on your favorite streaming channel? If you are like me, and have a partner that LOVES romance and comedy on the big screen (not), Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to play that card – “I would really love it if we could watch some of my favorite chick-flicks today – that would be the best Valentine’s Day present ever!” Play, set, match.

Cook something cool from a Tasty video, load up on the popcorn, hit the couch, and let Netflix take you away.

Looking for some good Valentine’s Day movie ideas? Here are my top 4 picks for Valentine’s Day, 2017:

1. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

The tale of Benjamin Barry, an advertising executive and Andie Anderson, a writer for a magazine. They meet in a bar after making interesting bets with co-workers related to making and breaking relationships. The story is filled with surprises and humor.

2. "Love Actually"

The setting is placed around Christmas time in London. The story follows eight individuals and takes place during the Christmas season in London. It’s a great story and explores relationships at all of their highs an lows - falling in love, companionship, affairs, and heartbreak. The characters’ experiences and moments are relatable to viewers of all ages.

3. "10 Things I Hate About You"

The fun, classic film follows the story of Bianca Stratford, a sophomore in high school, and her sister Katrina, a feminist who hates conventionality. Bianca is not allowed to date unless her sister has a date. A new student to Padua High, Cameron, is dying to take Bianca out. Knowing Mr. Stratford’s rules of dating for his girls, Cameron looks for someone to take Kat out.

4. "50 First Dates"

Veterinarian, Henry Roth, lives in Hawaii and enjoys the company of endless vacationing women with no strings attached until he meets Lucy Whitmore. Henry finally thinks he has met the girl of his dreams until the next day Lucy fails to recognize him. He then discovers that Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss. This discovery makes Henry even more motivated to make her fall in love with him all over again every single day. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are the stars of the film.

I recently read an article that talked about millennials and their obsession with Netflix. I asked 102 University of Iowa students (love social media survey tools!) if it was true. 98% of the students I reached said they had either a Netflix or Hulu account. 58% of them stream 0-5 hours per week, 34% watch 6-10 hours, and 6% watch 11 hours or more per week.

Why are millennials so hooked on Netflix? It’s super convenient. No huge cable bills. You can binge watch! You can watch it on your mobile device, your smart TV, and even your gaming counsels. The original programming is great and there are plenty of other great shows and movies available – and now you can download a lot of the programming to your devices!! Netflix has 83.1 million subscribers and is changing the very nature of “TV.”

For now, my focus turns to picking the best chick flicks to watch on Valentine’s Day, but I am counting the days for "Stranger Things" to come back on air!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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.
