When its summer, there are several times where you'll find yourself doing absolutely nothing but breathing. Breathing leads to thinking and thinking leads to overthinking, especially if you've been experiencing the driest spell in the love department.

Here are six movies that you can live through vicariously, just so you don't feel alone for an hour and a half.

1. "The Big Wedding"

There's family feuds, skinny dipping, and Topher Grace. This movie will make you laugh, but leave you touched.

2. "Love Actually"

I've always loved to connect the dots between different storylines, and this movie is a CLASSIC. It's so interesting to see how every character ends up being connected in some way and to witness some very real rejections and circumstances that circulate around love.

3. "Playing It Cool"

Chris Evans. Chris Evans shirtless. Chris Evans pulling out his best moves to woo the girl of his dreams. What more convincing do you even need?

4. "Begin Again"

While this movie features romance briefly, it has a strong message about real love, which includes loving and finding yourself. Keira Knightley's character is so brave and beautiful and shows that being alone is OK sometimes.

5. "Crazy, Stupid, Love"

Ryan Gosling is in fact, the most swoon-worthy character of all time in this film. It's so heartwarming that at some points, even Steve Carell will be able to steal your heart in this one. Plus, who doesn't ship Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling after "La La Land"?

6. "Bridget Jones' Diary"

This trilogy is so quirky and touching. Girls won't always look like Megan Fox, but this one is for all of the Bridget Jones' of the world. You are more than a Plain Jane and have your own love story waiting for you.

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.

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.

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.
