Our Times (Taiwan)

Via Amino AppsVia Amino AppsTaiYu gives Lin Truly the push she needs.

"Our times" follows office worker, Lin Truly, back to teenage years where she obsessively fawns over music idols, maneuvers through high school awkwardness and teams up with an unlikely classmate to help each other get what they want. Yes, this is a borderline a classic sappy movie about coming of age, but it is so good you would think you're the one living in the film.

The beauty inside (Korea)

"The beauty inside" follows a young man who falls in love with a furniture seller, but there's a catch. The young man's gender, language, height, race and overall appearance changes every time he wakes. Obviously, this is an odd premiss to create a film around, but it makes it all the more interesting.

Monsieur Lazhar (Canadian French)

Via FanrtoMr. Lazhar introduces himself.Via Fanrto

After a young student discovers her teacher's body in her classroom from an apparent suicide there instructor is soon replaced with an immigrant teacher named Monsieur Lazhar. Their new teacher helps the class heal while he balances his own personal issues. I remember watching this in high school and going through LOTS of emotions, but was it worth it? Absolutely.

The Wailing (Korea)

Via DcechettoNightmarish things plague this countryside village.Via Blog

All I can say about this film is...ooo chile. These characters go through HELL and I mean it. This Korean thriller/horror film follows Jong Goo a family man and rural police officer. As his mountain side village descends into hysteria following a string of murders and odd sicknesses he and a few others are forced to uncover the evil lurking beyond the mountains.

M (Germany)

Via GIphyThe murderer is branded.Via Giphy

Now this one's an oldie, but not at all any less intriguing than the rest. As the towns children begin to be target for heinous murders vigilante criminals and cops both hunt for the murderer as the town descends into madness.

Memories of Murder (Korea)

Via GiphyDetective Park looks for the murderer.Via Giphy

Frustrating to say the least, in 1980's rural Korea a small town is the target of the countries first recorded serial killer. Young women being at risk give a few clues as who may be assaulting and killing them, but is it enough for detective Park and detective Cho with lack of skill and technology?

Ponyo (Japan)

Via GiphyPrincess Ponyo in human form.Via Giphy

A childhood favorite of mine, Ponyo follows an adventurous goldfish princess who wants to become human. She meets a young boy, Sosuke, who befriends her, but much to Ponyo's fathers surprise such interaction is forbidden. Studio Ghibli always makes classics must I say more?

Train to Busan (Korea)

Via TumblrSeok Woo and his daughter try to escape the chaos around them.Via Tumblr

A blockbuster Korean film follows a divorced father, played by Gong Yoo, as he takes a train ride with his young daughter whom he has a distant relationship with. On that train ride it is revealed that a ravaging epidemic which turns citizens into zombies has plagued most of Korea. If you enjoy films like "World War Z" then this is the film for you.

S Diary (Korea)

Via TumblrJinny and Yu In in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.Via Tumblr

A single woman ponders about her past relationships and what went wrong. This films is both romantic and comedic and should definitely be added to your girls night movie list.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
