The Monday-to-Friday grind on campus is officially in full swing. You can burn out fast if you don’t implement some staple weekday self-care routines. My favorite way to end a busy and stressful day is to reward myself with a movie with the roomies. It’s undoubtedly the perfect way to unwind and spend time with friends.
The ideal fall movie night scene is dim lights, cozy blankets, and pumpkin-scented candles. I always love to throw some Halloween-themed Pillsbury cookies into the mix. Me and my roommates are movie connoisseurs and have a great list of movies that will give you all the fall vibes.
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
An absolute classic. Getting you and all your roommates together to have a Harry Potter movie marathon is essential, but starting with The Sorcerer’s Stone will give you all the childhood nostalgia you need to get you through the week.
- Twilight
Looking for the perfect mix of cheesy and iconic? Put on Twilight for the early 2000’s vampire aesthetic. It just never gets old.
- The Lake House
This one might be niche. A fantasy romance between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves with a time-traveling twist. I won’t give the rest away, but it’s a fall must-watch.
- Good Will Hunting
Calling this a fall movie might be controversial, but the autumn setting in Boston cannot be overlooked. If you have a roommate from outside of Massachusetts, it’s a rite of passage to show them this Boston classic.
- A Walk to Remember
I must be honest; only watch this movie if you are ready to cry. Nicholas Sparks does no wrong with his romance stories, and Jamie and Landon will leave a hole in your heart.
