I hope this list was able to give you some inspiration on what to watch this Valentine’s Day. I know not everyone is on the same page when it comes to love, but no matter how or what you’re celebrating, everyone deserves to end the night with a good movie.

Sometimes, we’re looking for something a little different that breaks outside of the mold of the traditional boy-meets-girl tropes and plot beats. So, here are five — actually, seven — Valentine’s Day movies that range from slightly unique to unequivocally odd.
It’s the holiday season, and I’m not sure how to curb these feelings of loneliness. Last Christmas I had a boyfriend, and now I don’t — but I still feel the same!
I was road-tripping across California with my aunt and her two children — the longest trip I had ever taken without my mom. In between their snarky remarks at each other, they would remind me of how lucky I am to be an only child.

I did not pick up “This Is How You Lose the Time War” by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone because of the beautiful cover art, the intriguing summary or even the review comment from Madeline Miller herself. Rather, I picked it up because of a tweet I saw four months ago
When Olivia Rodrigo first released the tracklist for her latest album “GUTS” I excitedly texted my best friend over the track “ballad of a homeschooled girl,” gushing over the upcoming rock/pop song that I knew would become an anthem for homeschooled girls everywhere.
As I expected, the lyrics rang true as someone who left the high school culture for a routine of online classes and independent schoolwork.
Boston University campus means different things for different students, while some are returning for another semester, others are starting their first — but how do we really feel about the start of another school year?
We have been deluded into believing that romance lies solely along linear planes, a one-dimensional existence between characters we are nothing like, and worlds we will never live in— but love does not have to be exactly like it is in the movies. And that’s a good thing.
