50 Movies For Rainy Days

If you've been in Florida lately (or for your entire life, like me) then you know we've had a lot of rain. The rain makes it difficult to enjoy normal Florida activities like going to the beach, Disney World, or simply taking a walk down St. George Street.

Sure, you could binge on Netflix, but do you really have enough space in your heart for another show with nine seasons and twenty or so episodes each? If you're cringing at the very thought, don't worry. There are much shorter and equally satisfying things to watch. You guessed it: the movies.

When the rain hits the window pain, grab your popcorn and check out one (or all) of these flicks.

1. The Guardian

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

3. Pocahontas (Disney)

4. Finding Neverland

5. Fools Rush In

6. Finding Nemo

7. Pitch Perfect

8. Chappie

9. James Bond: Golden Eye

10. Psycho

11. Goodfellas

12. The Intern (2015)

13. Tombstone

14. Lawless

15. Dances With Wolves

16. Fury

17. Straight Outta Compton

18. Invincible

19. Inside Out (Disney)

20. Daddy's Home (when it's out on DVD)

21. Ride Along

22. Despicable Me

23. Jurassic Park: 1, 2, 3, and 4

24. The Drop (2014)

25. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

26. Gone With the Wind (This will take the whole day, but it's worth it.)

27. Monsters, Inc.

8. P.S. I Love You

29. The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

30. 21 and 22 Jump Street

31. Miss Congeniality

32. Up (Disney)

33. Sleeping Beauty (1959)

34. She's the Man (2006)

35. Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (my personal favorite installment)

36. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (Watch it for BB-8)

37. Tomorrowland (Disney)

38. Treasure Planet (Disney)

39. Sixteen Candles

40. What a Girl Wants (2003)

41. Interstellar

42. The Martian (2015)

43. Clueless

44. I Am Legend

45. The Breakfast Club

46. 9 (2009)

47. The Private Eyes (1980)

48. The Sons of Katie Elder (John Wayne)

49. Fried Green Tomatoes

50. Mean Girls (I mean, how can you not?)


I've given you fifty, but there are thousands more to choose from. So the next time in rains in the Sunshine State, stay dry, stay in, and find a new favorite movie.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
