Must-Watch Rainy Day Movies

Rainy days have a way of making one feel like the only acceptable thing to do is curl up with a blanket and watch a really good movie. Or 4, you know, whatever. I know I appreciate a great flick and a cozy blanket when it's raining. Here are some of my personal recommendations for instances like this.

1. Practical Magic

Starring the always-spectacular Sandra Bullock, this girl power, sister-witch movie has just enough drama and fantasy to keep you occupied when the weather is gloomy.

2. Legally Blonde

A classic tale of a woman following her dreams in really great shoes. Who can say no to Elle Woods? I know I can't. Bruiser is the real hero of this story, tbh.

3. DOPE

Not for the faint of heart, but so good. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat, asking "how did they do that?" It makes me feel so many emotions. You will probably need to go outside in the rain if you don't want anyone to see the tears.

4. The Prince and Me

I'm a sucker for a good prince IRL story. It really makes you root for these seemingly star-crossed lovers.

5. Wet Hot American Summer (the movie -- or the show, you know, whichever)

Starring Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Paul Rudd, this movie will keep you laughing with its quirky humor. If you like it, I recommend watching the show, which is equally funny and unique.

6. Stranger Things

Okay, so this one is cheating a little bit, because it's a show and not a movie, but I'm not sure I care, because it's that good. Reminiscent of radtastic 80s movies, this thriller is sure to keep you watching longer than you probably think you signed up for. Sci-fi and teen angst and pre-teens staying out past curfew -- it's honestly the blessing you didn't even know you needed. That's a lot of action for one show, but it's seriously so well made. 10/10 would recommend, please watch it. I honestly can't rave enough about this show -- I have to stop myself here.

7. The Princess Bride

A feel-good, quest romance with action and fantasy and everything you really could ever want in a movie. Can't ask for much more when you're stuck in the house.

8. Clueless

Recommended to me by my step-mom, and let's just say I'm very grateful to her. This movie is awesome and hilarious. Cher is me and I am Cher and Cher is all of us.

9. Titanic

I don't know that I have to say anything about this. A small anecdote for you, though: the first time I saw this movie, I cried for the last 40 minutes of this movie, and then for about 30 minutes after it was over. So touching.

10. Stardust

Michelle Pfeiffer slays in this movie. It's a real gem that will make your heart sing.. but only after twisting it a few times. On the same trend with Princess Bride, I always enjoy a journey story when I'm stuck inside.

All these movies can be found on Netflix. Happy watching!

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.
