Those lecture slides are starting to look boring, huh? Here are some movies you should watch to curb the dullness.

Picture this: It’s 5:30 pm. You can see the sun setting from your room window. You got home an hour ago after spending the day at Barr Smith Library going through study materials and catching up with lectures – between talking to your friends and grabbing 3 cups of coffee. Nonetheless, it was a very productive day and now you’re ready to just wind down and watch some movies.

But if you’re like me and scroll on Netflix for too long only to end up watching an episode of Derry Girls for the 100th time, here are some of my movie recommendations.
