6 Underrated Rom-Coms Every Girl Needs To Watch At Some Point

You know the type of movie that sends every girl into a swooning frenzy, the type of movie that has us base every guy we have dated, will date or never date to the highest standard — that type of movie is known as the infamous "rom-com," shortened from the traditional romantic comedy. We all know the classic romantic comedies like "When Harry Met Sally" or "Clueless," however there are plenty underrated "rom-coms" that deserve some TLC.

1. 'Something Borrowed'

Who doesn't love John Krasinski? Come on, he warmed our hearts with the love story of Jim and Pam on "The Office," and equally achieves that in "Something Borrowed." Based on the popular Emily Giffin book, this romantic comedy has you laughing, crying and calling your best friend when it is over.

2. 'The One I Love'

For all of you "Mad Men" fans out there, Elisabeth Moss (Peggy) shines in this unsung romantic comedy. A marriage counselor sends a couple with a crumbling marriage (Elisabeth Moss, Mark Duplass) on a weekend getaway to repair their relationship. What follows in the movie is anything less fun and hilarious moments, one after another.

3. 'Never Been Kissed'

Drew Barrymore shines in this romantic comedy based on the "nerd that once was in high school." Her infectious personality, bubbly self-confidence and countless ridiculous outfits circa 2002 will have you cheering for "Josie Grossie" every step of the way.

4. 'She's The Man'

This romantic comedy based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is one of the funniest romantic comedies to come out of the modern era of romantic comedies. The quotable movie, hilarious story line and the ever-funny Amanda Bynes (before she went a little crazy) will have you watching this movie over and over again.

5. 'Celeste and Jesse Forever'

It may come off as an "anti-rom-com," but underneath the talented comedic cast, this movie shows what real love, real couples and real feelings look like. It shows that love presents itself in different ways, and even the longest love doesn't always last.

6. 'Stuck In Love'

Kristen Bell, Greg Kinnear, Lily Collins, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman and Nat Wolff ... who could ask for a better cast? This incredibly adorable movie about first loves and the opportunity for second chances lets us all know that love is a precious thing. This indie romance film is sure to warm your heart through the journeys of love for each character.

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.

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.
