Look, summer is great. But when it gets really hot, it can also SUCK to be outside.

With that said, for those really hot days, crank up the AC and cosy up to watch these romantic comedies when you need to cool down:

1. (500) Days Of Summer

This has to be one of my favorite movies to watch over the summer. I mean "You Make My Dreams" scene is literally so funny and cute how could you not love this movie? I also like it because it's one of the more realistic rom-coms. The ending is also just so good and unexpected, especially for a rom-com.

Best part: Hands down Joseph Gordon-Levitt dancing to You Make My Dreams by Hall and Oates.

2. Mammia Mia & Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

Ok, these movies would be such a good double feature. The music, the dancing, and the setting all make you want to go jump and a plane and fly all over the world. It's cheesy and sometimes infuriating and that's what makes it so fun.

Best part: Anytime they sing Dancing Queen or Mammia Mia.

3. Grease

Grease is the CLASSIC summer romance... even though most of the story happens during the school year. It's a fun movie to watch with a big group of people who all know the words. I think there are also some parts that are just so silly and out there, but this a must-see for my friends and I every summer.

Best part: Danny saying "it's electrifying" and Sandy stepping on the cigarette during You're The One That I Want are both so iconic. Also "Tell me about it.. stud." So good.

4. The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 1 & 2

These movies are so good because they give you wanderlust and a sense of adventure, but they talk about some really deep topics that are so important for young women. I love the friendships that are represented and how they show that some of the best friendships benefit from distance.

Best part: Watching the girls grow and develop from their experiences.

5. The Last Song

This movie is so mushy and lovey dovey, but it also has some really sad moments that bring it back to earth. Miley and Liam aren't the best actors in this movie to be honest, but they have so much chemistry.

Best part: Knowing the Miley and Liam are married now thanks to this movie.

6. Endless Love

Another summer rom-com that is VERY mushy and lovey-dovey, but honestly Alex Pettyfer is so swoon-worthy the whole time and the movie is so dramatic that you end up getting lost in it and really enjoying it the whole time.

Best part: When David says "I love you" to Jade in the truck, it's so cheesy but sooo cute.

7. The Parent Trap

An instant summer classic that made me want a twin sister so badly. Also can we talk about how good the editing for this movie was given the time it came out?? I was legitimately convinced Lindsay Lohan had a twin sister.

Best part: When Halle and Annie finally realize that they're twins.

8. Call Me By Your Name

Call Me By Your Name is equal parts beautiful as it is sad, but that's what makes it so good. I loved Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet's perfomances and thought they did such an amazing job portraying their characters.

Best part: The speech Elio's father gives to him after Oliver leaves.

9. Aquamarine

Shake, stretch, flex. I mean this movie had so many iconic moments and it's just as fun to watch it now as it was when I was a kid. Plus, how cool would it be to be friends with a mermaid??

Best part: That the love Aquamarine needed to find all along was found in her friendships with Claire and Hailey.

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.
