As someone who loves watching movies, I have list of favorites that get me into that summer feel. You know the one where the sun is just setting around 7 PM, you just got in from swimming, you're all toasty from the sun, and your mom is cooking in the kitchen? Yup, that feel. These films are on the top of my summer watch list.

1. Georgia Rule

Georgia Rule is a film starring Lindsay Lohan who plays a troubled teen who is sent to live with her grandmother in a small town in Idaho. She is holding a secret that is haunting her and causing turmoil between her and her mom (Felicity Huffman). Released in 2007, this comedic drama is one that will stand the test of time for me. It also stars Jane Fonda, who I love as an actress!

2. (500) Days of Summer

This film, released in 2009 and starring Zooey Deschanel and the handsome Joseph-Gordon Levitt, has the perfect title for the movies we are talking about, am I right? This Rom-Com is an awesome, offbeat, kind of indie film about a girl who doesn't believe in love and the guy that falls for her. This one will pull at your heart strings, but also offers an interesting perspective if you're willing to read between the lines.

3. Everything Everything

Everything Everything is an awesome film about a girl with an illness that keeps her trapped within the walls of her house, until a new boy moves in next door. I love Amandla Stenberg, who plays Maddy, in the this romantic drama. Not to mention, the music in this movie is amazing; it was like they pulled a few from my Spotify. ;)

4. 50 First Dates

This classic Romantic Comedy, released in 2004, is a classic Adam Sandler movie. He plays Henry Roth, who is afraid of commitment until he meets Lucy (Drew Barrymore) who he soon finds out has short-term memory loss. This film is sure to make you laugh and smile. Plus, everyone HAS to see this movie at least once in their lives!

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

This is my favorite POC movie! Although they're all good, this one is always on my watch list. You can even find it on Netflix, along with the newest one: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This one adds some action to your lazy summer afternoon.

As you can see I am a huge romantic movie fan. I didn't really realize this about myself until writing this "listicle", LOL. Snuggle up on the couch after a nice swim, and enjoy these films that let you revel in the sweetness that is summer.

AI music threatens creativity

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
