5 Movies To Watch Instead Of Studying
Giphy

We all have those days when... well... we don't do anything at all. You might be laying in bed sick, laying in bed instead of going to class, or simply procrastinating. One of the best activities for this is watching movies. All. Day. Long. It's even better when those movies are readily available on your pre-paid streaming services.

Here are some movies (found on streaming services) that will prevent you from doing your homework.

1. Game Over, Man (Netflix)

This new Netflix original movie is ridiculously hilarious -- Adam Devine, Anders Holm, and Blake Anderson (the Workaholics crew) star in an action-packed comedy that will keep you on your feet. It's also pretty violent, though, so be prepared.


2. Moonlight or Room (Amazon Prime)

These movies are actually very different, but they were those movies that won a bunch of awards AND are REALLY good. I'm always hesitant to watch movies that everyone says is good, but these are actually worth the watch. These movies are definitely better if you want something a little more intense. (Note: You can get a free Amazon Prime membership if you're a student/have a student email!)


3. The Karate Kid (Hulu)

As much as I love Jaden Smith, you can't beat the original Karate Kid. You can never go wrong with a classic like The Karate Kid, and you might even learn some tips to keep your exams from kicking your butt. (Note: In case you didn't know, you can get a free Hulu membership if you pay for Spotify premium!)


4. The Big Sick (Amazon Prime)

I actually haven't seen this one yet, but my mom keeps telling me to watch it. Even then, I trust any Judd Apatow movie, and he's one of the producers of The Big Sick! It's an Amazon original movie as well, and from what I've seen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a TV series I also recommend), they're doing amazing work in their studios.


5. Any of the Harry Potter movies (HBO Go)

Harry Potter is a go-to classic that allows you to escape the real world and explore a whimsical world full of magic. If you haven't seen these yet, I highly recommend them (I mean, who hasn't seen Harry Potter?!). Anyway, you can find all 8 of the movie series on HBO Go (if your family has an HBO subscription, go get their username and password -- it's definitely worth it).

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
