5 Netflix Movies You Should Definitely Check Out
Charles Deluvio

Everyone goes through the "I don't know what to watch on Netflix" phase, and I'm here to tell you exactly what you should watch at least once.

1. "The Lovely Bones"

"After being brutally murdered, 14-year-old Susie Salmon watches from heaven over her grief-stricken family -- and her killer. As she observes their daily lives, she must balance her thirst for revenge with her desire for her family to heal."

This movie is actually my personal favorite movie. The film adaptation is spot on with the book, only missing minor details. It's an emotional movie though, so ready the tissues and ice cream.

2. "Charlie St. Cloud"

"Adored by his single mother and his little brother Sam, Charlie St. Cloud is an accomplished sailor and college-bound senior with a bright future ahead of him. When Sam dies in a terrible accident, Charlie's dreams die with him. But, so strong is the brothers' bond that, in the hour before each sunset, Charlie and Sam meet to play catch. The return of a former classmate leads Charlie to a difficult choice: remain stuck in the past, or let love lead him to the future."

"Charlie St. Cloud" is a movie that I watch at least three times a year. Zac Efron (swoon) performs flawlessly as his character and makes you feel as though what he's going through is real. This movie is truly moving and touches my heart. I highly recommend this movie, especially if you're looking to have a good cry.

3. "Cruel Intentions"

"Annette unwittingly becomes a pawn in Sebastian's and Kathryn's deliciously diabolical wager of sexual conquest when she writes an article in Seventeen Magazine about how she intends to stay pure until she marries her boyfriend. However, Sebastian gets more than he bargained for as he attempts to woo Annette into his bed."

Reese Witherspoon is my everyday woman crush so of course, I would recommend this movie. Its a dark kind of movie, at least for teen blockbusters. They actually made a musical out of it- which I find pretty cool.

4. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

"Struggling musician Peter Bretter is better-known as the boyfriend of TV star Sarah Marshall. After she unceremoniously dumps him, he feels lost and alone but makes a last-ditch bid to get over it by going to Hawaii. However, she and her new boyfriend are there in the same hotel."

Okay so I actually just watched this one last week for the first time, and it is absolutely hilarious. There wasn't a moment I didn't laugh, sometimes I even cried a little. I highly recommend this movie if you and your friends are just hanging out and wanting to have a good laugh.

Warning: There's A LOT of nudity in this.

5. "When We First Met"

"After spending a night with the girl of his dreams only to become just friends, a man gets the opportunity to travel through time and alter that night over and over again until he gets everything perfect."

To be honest, I usually don't like Netflix originals (other than Stranger Things), but this one was actually really good. I watched this one day with my friends while we were all just hanging out and honestly, I was surprised with how much I liked it. It's really funny, and has some touching scenes as well. I highly recommend checking it out

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
