10 Feel Good Movies For The Stressed Out College Student
E!



1. The Parent Trap:

The remake of the 1961 Disney film is an all time favorite. Young Lindsay Lohan twins that rekindle their parents love for each other, who wouldn’t love it? Predictable, yet comforting and somehow doesn’t get old after the fiftieth time of watching it. The nostalgic rom-com doesn’t disappoint when looking for a movie to unwind at the end of the week.



2. Clueless:

An obvious contender for many reasons. The fashion trends and Beverly Hills high school setting are undeniably perfect. On top of a main character that everyone wanted to be when they were younger. As shallow and ‘clueless’ as Cher was, her character is an idle


3. The Proposal:

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in a romance, yum! The flick consists of some raunchy comedy and Betty White to top it all off. An engaging story with a perfect ending.

4. Brave:

Brave is a feminist’s ideal Disney princess movie. Merida pulls her own and shows that she doesn’t need a man to come sweep her off her feet. With Scottish accents and a refreshing storyline, Brave isn’t your typical princess movie.

5. Mrs.Doubtfire:

Nostalgia x100 + Robin Williams makes Mrs.Doubtfire the feel good movie. A classic with a hilarious plot and friendly framework that centers around a father’s love for his children. An easy go to after a long, hard day.


6. The Princess Diaries:

Who doesn’t hope for their grandma to reveal that they have a royal bloodline? The fun and flirty flick with Anne Hathaway is ideal for a girlfriend movie night. Keep the night going with Princess Diaries 2, while we all patiently wait for number 3.


7. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:

Ferris Bueller is a character that we all know and love. His easy going and fun-loving personality reminds us that not everything needs to be taken seriously. His advice to stop and look around instead of allowing life to fly past you, is an inspiring message that we all need to remember.


8. 13 going on 30:

A teenage girl’s secret desire becomes a reality when she transforms into her adult self overnight and gets a glimpse of what the future has in store for her. The charming chick-flick with Jennifer Garner is refreshing and leaves a simple message for all of us, “Be nice, do right thing, and live to be happy”. 13 going on 30 is timeless and relatable with a heartfelt love story.

9. Despicable Me:

You should kick off your shoes and stay in for the night with all three of the Despicable Me films. No, this movie is NOT just for kids, us adults can enjoy it even more! You must and will fall in love with the minions, and you might even start thinking of some crazy science to make one of your own.


10. Footloose:

Whether you pop in the 1984 or the 2011 version, you’re in for a real treat. Besides the fact that the two main characters are major eye candy, Footloose consists of some enticing dance and song scenes that will make you question why you ever stopped taking dance classes.

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.
