https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUHVwmmW1Vo

Before this cuffing season starts, make sure to watch these 18 romcoms and set your standards for your Tinder date astronomically high. Call out of work this weekend or skip some hours at the library and let yourself fall in love with these timeless romantic comedies that will make you want to find that special someone. Some will make you cry, some will make you laugh, but in the end, you'll be happy that you spent countless hours on some cinematic masterpieces.

1. "50 First Dates"

Giphy

To start off our list, who doesn't love this Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore classic? Imagine having someone love you so much that everyday they make sure you get to fall in love with them all over again. Definitely #goals for this cuffing season.

2. "The Ugly Truth"

Giphy

Same Katherine Hiegl, same.

3. "Letters to Juliet"

Giphy

This is the first movie on this list that will make you cry. There's something about finding love in Italy that just makes everyone want to find their Romeo. Get the tissue box ready and that pint of half baked because this movie will definitely give you all the feels.

4. "The Proposal"

Giphy

Don't all fairy tales start with a blackmail proposal to avoid deportation? This will definitely be in your top 3 movies off this list because a shirtless Ryan Reynolds always makes the top 3 of any list.

5. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

Giphy

Sometimes we are cocky and think that we can make anyone fall in love with us. Sometimes we are cocky that we can drive someone away from us. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson show us that two people can still fall in love despite having different agendas.

6. "Love Actually"

Giphy

The perfect movie to remind yourself that everyone is out there this holiday season finding love and you're alone. But somewhere amongst the chaos and intertwined stories of all the characters, we can still find love.

7. "The Notebook"

Giphy

Why do you do this to us Nicholas Sparks? Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are the perfect on screen couple. Ever. This might be another movie that requires a box of tissues and Ben and Jerry's finest.

8. "When in Rome"

Giphy

Despite getting hurt every time, Kristen Bell ends up with Josh Duhamel and that's all that's important.

9. "Bridget Jones's Diary"

Giphy

We're all waiting for our Mr. Darcy. To watch this movie you'll have to be a fan of British accents because only after attempting to watch this 5 times was I able to (finally) watch it all the way through. If you love it make sure to watch "Bridget Jones's Baby" to see what happens with Mr. Darcy... enter McDreamy!

10. "27 Dresses"

Giphy

Shoutout to Katherine Hiegl for making this list again and bringing another classic to this list. It is possible to find love even if your younger sister steals your dream man, cuts up your mom's wedding dress, and moves in with you.

11. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

Giphy

Out of all the romcoms on this list, this one takes home the prize for best cast. You'll want to buy the first ticket to Hawaii and ~~hook up~~ fall in love with a stranger that's also trying to get over their ex.

12. "Mamma Mia"

Giphy

Another movie in our top 3. Nothing but smiles and singing as the best musical becomes a movie. Make sure you have a Spotify premium subscription because after this movie you'll want to download ABBA's whole album.

13. "Bride Wars"

Giphy

Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are the best friend duo we all want to be, except when it comes to having our wedding the same day as our BFF. Sabotage brings out the worst in us, so naturally, it makes sense that one wedding is doomed.

14. "You Again"

Giphy

Three generations of animosity all boiling down to one wedding. See it for Betty White our comedy hero.

15. "Crazy Stupid Love"

Giphy

Another amazing cast coming together to make a romcom favorite. Some of us were here for a shirtless Ryan Gosling, others were here for Steve Carrell. Forever waiting for a man with Ryan's body and Steve's personality...

16. "Friends With Benefits"

Giphy

Watch the movie but update your FWB this cuffing season so that you can enjoy all the fun couples things like pumpkin picking, bringing someone to Thanksgiving dinner so that your family with stop harassing you about your biological clock ticking, and build a gingerbread house with.

17. "No Strings Attached"

Giphy

And finally Ashton Kutcher blesses our screens with his presence. *Reread number 16 as to why you should have strings attached*

18. "Just Go With It"

Giphy

We started with Adam Sandler in Hawaii, and we're going to end with Adam Sandler in Hawaii.

Some honorable mentions that almost made the list: "The Wedding Planner," "Wedding Crashers," "Marley and Me," "Bridesmaids," "500 Days of Summer," and anything with Owen Wilson.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

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.
