Oh, and watching college movies and pretending we\u2019re in them doesn\u2019t hurt either.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here are my top 3 movies about those magical 4 years:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><em>Pitch Perfect<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great music, cute boys and #squadgoals. What more could you ask for? Pitch Perfect is a movie that follows college freshman Beca as she joins an acapella group called the Barden Bellas. Not only is this movie pee-in-your-pants funny, but it also deals with real life college struggles like roommates and internships. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After watching this, you\u2019ll totally want to join an acapella group. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can learn: It might sound cliche but clubs are actually the best way to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Find out what clubs are available at your school and sign up. Extracurricular activities that you actually enjoy? Amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/anigif_original-grid-image-31611-1408133592-20.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3481\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3481 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/anigif_original-grid-image-31611-1408133592-20.gif\" alt=\"anigif_original-grid-image-31611-1408133592-20\" width=\"500\" height=\"269\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><em><b>Legally Blonde<\/b><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019ve been wishing you would wake up as Elle Woods for a couple of years now. She\u2019s fabulous, extremely intelligent and a kick-butt law student! This movie is a classic because it encourages women in college, especially sorority sisters, to fight the harmful stereotypes and stigma attached to being in a male dominated area of study. Elle Woods should be an inspiration to us all because she proves women are worthy of more credit than they are given. You go girl! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can learn: College shouldn\u2019t revolve around anyone but yourself. Elle had to realize that her loser boyfriend was only holding her back. She worked hard, got into a great school and accomplished her goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tumblr_maw6z49uie1rx9nn1.gif\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3483\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3483 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/tumblr_maw6z49uie1rx9nn1.gif\" alt=\"tumblr_maw6z49uie1rx9nn1\" width=\"500\" height=\"213\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><b><i>Monsters University<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay&#8230;if you don\u2019t like this movie, we can\u2019t be friends. Everyone loves Mike Wazowski and Sully so it\u2019s no surprise the movie that depicted their college years was such a hit. It\u2019s a heartwarming story about friendship, loyalty and surviving the obstacles of college. Even if you\u2019re not part of Greek life, you can still relate to not fitting in amongst your peers. But like Mike, we all find a place and group of people to call home. Every college student can relate to the various characters in this adorable flick. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can learn: The friends you make in college will be your lifelong friends. Hey, maybe one day you\u2019ll even up working together.
