It's that time of year where the holidays are right around the corner, but for some reason, we just aren't in the holiday spirit yet.

Luckily, there is a way to beat that funk and get into the spirit of giving and surrounding yourself with loved ones. By watching just a few of these movies, you're guaranteed to feel a lot more in the spirit.

1. Elf

Such an iconic and funny movie. Buddy never fails to have some good quotes.

2. Polar Express

This may be an animated movie, but I think it speaks a lot more to adults than it does to children. Although, it is a great movie for all to watch.

3. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

A funny movie that is sure to make you laugh, and don't let the title give away too much information.

4. Olive, the Other Reindeer

Drew Barrymore was incredible as the voice of Olive, and this movie never fails to bring me back to my childhood.

5. A Christmas Story

This may have a little bit more adult content than the others, but this is definitely a must watch during the holiday season. I can't wait to see what Ralphie wants for Christmas.

6. Arthur Christmas

Another great animated holiday movie. It's definitely a cute movie for younger kids as well.

7. Home Alone

One of the funniest movies, Kevin has some good tricks up his sleeve for Harry and Marv.

8. Miracle on 34th Street

The original version is definitely the best version. It's a very cute and meaningful movie.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Charlie Brown knows how to make us all think back to our childhood.

10. The Santa Clause

Tim Allen does a great job as Santa Claus, it's a really great Christmas movie.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
