Movies are a staple in almost every college student’s life. Nothing is more relaxing than to lock yourself in your room, sit with a tub of pop corn of ice cream, put on your headphones and tune out the world for a few hours. And some movies just speak to you when you’re in a particular phase. So here are a few recommendations that every college student will relate to.

1) The Social Network (2010): To see Mark Zukerberg’s story as he turned from a Harvard student to a multi millionaire will make you want to be genius and be awesome like him.

2) Legally Blonde (2001): When Elle Woods goes to Harvard Law School to win back her boyfriend, she finds in herself a much smarter self than the stereotype of a blonde gives her credit for.

3) Pitch Perfect (2012): Singing is expression, and h=in the movie, you see a group of all females girls striving to find some acceptance in the huge college and at the same time, beating down the age old ideology of men being better than women as they fight it out in a battle of the vocal cords.

4) 3 Idiots: No other movie helps you push through the difficulties of a complicated education system better than this movie. This movie speaks to millions of college students on a personal level.

5) The Breakfast Club: Based in a High School detention, this movie changed perceptions of people everywhere as five students from completely different backgrounds open up to each other, only to realize that the stereotypes they’ve been pushing through are just that; Stereotypes.
