For When You Just Want To Stay In Bed And Watch Movies All Day But Don't Know What To Watch

We all have those days where all we want to do is stay in bed and avoid all responsibility. One of the things that often happens is the binge watching of TV shows, and movies. If you're bored of what you usually turn to, or just want to spice things up, that's where I come in with my quite possibly obscure taste in movies. So watch the trailers, read my comments, and maybe you'll find a new movie to fall in love with.

1. Annie Hall (1977)
While I will admit that Woody Allen isn't exactly a stellar person, I still highly recommend you watch Annie Hall. It's hilarious, and entertaining. Shoutout to my fave Katelyn Fournier for making me watch this when I was dying in your NYU dorm room freshman year.

2. The Thin Red Line(1998)
The Thin Red Line is honestly one of the most beautiful WWII films I've watched in terms of both cinematography, and it's story. Set in the South Pacific during the battle of Guadalcanal, it tells a beautiful story with an ending with leaves you both incredibly sad but satisfied.

3. Lost in Translation(2003)
Here we have another best friend Katelyn inspired favorite. It's funny, quirky, and has the beauties that are Bill Murray, and Scarlet Johansson. Also it's set in Japan, which is pretty rad. An overall A+ movie I 10/10 recommend you watch.

4. Meru(2015)
Meru is about climbers Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, and Renan Ozturk who set out to make the first ascent the Shark's Fin route of Mount Meru, known as one of the hardest routes in the world, in the Garwhal Himalayas. Fun fact, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk also did a large part of the cinematography for the film. Overall it's a beautiful documentary in every aspect.

5. American Beauty(1999)
It's hard to describe what I love about American Beauty. Is it the younger looking Kevin Spacey? Is it the beauty that is young Wes Bentley? Is it the plot? Is it all those rose petals? I'm not entirely sure. I just happen to really enjoy watching this film.

6. Valley Uprising(2014)
Valley Uprising is an awesomely done documentary by Sender Films about the history of Yosemite National Park and it's role as the home of rock climbing in the United States. On top of the cool stories, all the beautiful rock climbing dirt bags, and rad views of the valley, it also has a great soundtrack. Overall another rad climbing documentary. If you find yourself into this go check out the other Reel Rock documentaries!

7. Into the Mind(2013)
While on the topic of outdoorsy films, Into the Mind, is an epic and beautiful film by Sherpas Cinema. It's probably one of my favorite films EVER because of how beautiful it is in terms of basically everything. I promise it's worth the watch, and after you're done I also recommend you go watch the Nepal Vision Quest/ BTS on the Sherpas Cinema youtube channel for some really rad background and behind the scenes footage.

8. The Darjeeling Limited(2007)
Because what's not to love about the the combination of Wes Anderson, India, and the hilariousness of the combination of Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman. It's such a funny, and colourful film, great for when you're feeling down.

9. Fargo (1996)
So you've probably heard of Fargo but I'm still going to put it on the list anyones because it's just too good to not. It is honestly a really funny dark comedy that you should just watch okay. The Coen brothers are great. Steve Buscemi face is icing on the cake.

10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(2004)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is truly a whirlwind of emotions but it's one that you should watch. It's probably one of my favorite Michel Gondry films ever. I also recommend watching this on a rainy day with some hot chocolate and popcorn while curled up in bed.

While I may not be the biggest movie buff in the entire world, there's a part of me that does love watching a good film every now and then. Hopefully you'll find something on this list of my loves that you might fall in love with as well.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
