100 days of quarantine has got many of us feeling tired, bored, restless, and down. For most people, the routine is basically the same every day: wake up at noon, drink coffee, eat a pre-breakfast snack, eat breakfast, scroll through social media, eat a pre-lunch snack, eat lunch, scroll through social media, eat a pre-dinner snack, eat dinner, binge Netflix, go to sleep. By now, you've probably rewatched all of "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," and "Friends." So, now what are you supposed to do with your life? I got you covered. Here are 4 feel-good movies to watch on Netflix before they leave in August to give you the pick-me-up you desperately need.

1. Just Go With It

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564367/

After finding out his fiance has been cheating on him, plastic surgeon Danny Maccabee (Adam Sandler) pretends to be married so he can enjoy dates with no strings attached. His web of lies works, but when he meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker)--the girl of his dreams--she resists involvement. Instead of coming clean, Danny enlists the help of his assistant, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to pose as his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Instead of solving Danny's problems, the lies create more trouble. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to make you laugh and leave you feeling good.

2. Clueless

https://www.amazon.com/Clueless-Poster-Alicia-Silverstone-Stacey/dp/B000K9ZGAU

Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is a rich and shallow teenager at the top of the Beverly Hills high school totem pole. She proves herself to be a master manipulator when she coaxes two teachers into dating each other in order to raise her grades and make school easier for everyone. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give the hopelessly klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother (Paul Rudd) was right about how misguided she was and ends up falls for him. This timeless classic is sure to keep you entertained throughout its entirety.

3. Valentine's Day

In a series of interconnected stories, various Los Angeles residents make their way through the highs and lows of love during a single day: a florist is ready to propose to his girlfriend; a babysitter plans to lose her virginity while her grandparents struggle with their marriage; an elementary school-teacher unknowingly falls in love with a married man; a female army captain befriends a fellow-passenger; the local TV station deputies a Sports Reporter to cover 'Valentines Day'; and the owner of an Indian Restaurant has her hands full with a Punjabi wedding ceremony, and a private 'I Hate Valentine's Day' party. This star-studded movie will keep you on the edge of your seat as you eagerly watch to see how all of the chaos gets resolved.

4. Groundhog Day

https://www.koco.com/article/best-groundhog-day-movies/15956682

A cynical TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) finds himself reliving the same day over and over again when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day. His predicament drives him to insanity until he sees a way of turning the situation to his advantage: he uses the opportunity to acquire new skills --piano playing and ice carving among them--and soon becomes the most admired man in Punxsutawney. By the movie's end, he grows to learn the key to life isn't what happens but how you react to it. This oldie but goodie is sure to keep you pressing repeat over and over again.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
