This week, schools in our district released for Spring Break. This long-overdue break is just the breath of fresh air I needed to relax and rejuvenate. It’s time for me to don my designer shades and my favorite bikini and hit Miami Beach to throw an epic party.

I’m just kidding. If this week were to go my way, I’d be watching my favorite movies and pigging out on the best food in town. Of course, these are two activities that are much more fun with friends. While I’m not necessarily partial to inviting all of you lovely readers into my home, I invite you to partake in these activities with me. That way, we can share Spring Break activities in a long-distance manner.

To get this party started, let’s introduce a few highly imperative films for our watchlist.

1. “Clueless”

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Even though this movie came out in 1995, this is a timeless adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma.” Alicia Silverstone plays Cher, a well-intentioned rich girl who attempts to play matchmaker and makeover queen, all while struggling to sort out her own personal life. The fashions and facets of this movie are all absolutely stunning, and the dialogue is comedy gold. I am completely prepared to watch this movie for the millionth time (and I’ll mouth along to the dialogue, too.)

2. “The Breakfast Club”

Everyone knows how amazing this classic is, so I don’t really have to extol its virtues. Regardless, I’d like to say that the Saturday-detention misadventures of the Brain, the Athlete, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Basket Case have enraptured me to no end. (Spoiler alert: the movie is not a realistic depiction of detention.) Pop this movie in and fall in love with this squad one more time.

3.“Jerry Maguire”

Oh, Tom Cruise. Even though that giant tooth in the middle of your face irritates me, I’ll definitely give you props for “Jerry Maguire.” If you haven’t noticed this trend by now, I really like movies that are a bit older, so you’ve probably heard of “Jerry Maguire” by now. If you haven’t, I’ll give you the lowdown: Tom Cruise plays Jerry Maguire, a sports agent who gets fired from his company because he finally grew a conscience. Left with only one employee and one client, Jerry struggles to rebuild his own company and form relationships with these two vitally important people. This movie is definitely going to play with your emotions, but it’s certainly worth the emotional turmoil. Of course, I’ll be staring at the screen as well. For this film, I’ll overlook Tom’s dental situation—the movie had me at hello.

Movie binges aren’t any fun without refreshment, so let’s look into the food situation for our week-long break.

1. Sour Patch Kids

I don’t know about you, but movies definitely drag my emotions through the mud. First, it’s up, then it’s down; I’m laughing, oh, now I’m sobbing. It seems rather appropriate that I should bring Sour Patch Kids along with me for this emotional roller coaster. They’re certainly going to be sour, sweet, then gone after I attempt to drown my secondhand sorrows. (I’m still not sure why I get so sad; I know who’s going to get back together at the end of the movie. I just can’t help it.)

2. Pad Thai Noodles with Tofu

I understand that this is certainly not a traditional movie-watching snack, but hear me out. This is for that in-between meal that you get up to watch when the plot gets momentarily uncomfortable. You know, that point where everything goes bad and the main characters have no one to turn to? Right. You and I don’t need that negativity in our lives. Instead, we need these awesome tasting-noodles. And bonus, the tofu is healthy enough that it can counteract those buckets of Sour Patch Kids from earlier. My favorite place to get pad thai noodles is here.

3. Wild Cherry CapriSuns

Unfortunately, noodles and candy can’t wash themselves down, and we certainly shouldn’t have to inconvenience ourselves to get something to drink. Luckily, CapriSuns are handy enough to allow us to quench our thirst without having to use cups, regardless of whether or not you’re a few months shy of becoming an adult. Oh, and wild cherry is the best flavor. We’re not selling ourselves short this Spring Break.

Hopefully you participate with me in smashing Spring Break 2k17. It may not be a party on a sandy beach, but who needs the beach when you have juice and John Bender?
