I always turn to my favorites when I’m feeling down.

5 Feel-Good Movies For Bad Days

Sometimes, you need to watch a good movie that you don’t have to think much about, and that will make you feel better by the time it’s over. No matter how hard you think about what movie you want to watch, you’re always stumped for some reason or another. Well, to help you out, here’s my top 5 movies I like to watch when I’m down (disclaimer: they’re all romances because I’m trash).

1. "While You Were Sleeping"

It’s not how most people think of Sandra Bullock nowadays, but this movie was excellent from start to finish. There’s humor, sentimental moments, and even a happy ending. What more could you want?

2. "Sleepless In Seattle"

No, not all of these movies are about sleeping. However, this film, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, is a beautiful movie in which the two characters (spoiler alert) do not even meet until the very end. It’s extremely quotable, and always leaves me with a refreshed feeling at the end.

3. "A Christmas Kiss"

This film is my own personal indulgence because it is absolutely awful. The ideas are there, but the writing and acting just don’t add up. Still, I always find myself falling for the story by the end, and even though I spend most of my watch time making fun of it, it does have its own shining moments.

4. "Beauty and the Beast"

Read: your favorite Disney film. "Beauty and the Beast" is my personal favorite, but if you’d rather sub in your favorite, feel free. And if you don’t have a favorite Disney film, consider this a wild card. Either way, this particular film has a very special place in my heart, and I feel better the instant the opening music begins.

5. "Waitress"

This is less of a romance than the others, and kind of deals with slightly heavier subject matter, but it is beautiful all the same. It’s even better if you add listening to the “Waitress” musical soundtrack to your to-do list.

In all, these films may not be your favorite. They may not make you feel 100% better. However, they never fail to lift my spirits, and having a list is always a good way to avoid that constant scrolling through Netflix to no avail.

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.
