10 Movies You Have To Watch

Everyone loves having a fire in the fireplace, with the Christmas Tree lit up, a nice mug of hot coco and their favorite Christmas movies. The top 10 movies you need to watch this season are here:

1. A Christmas Carol

You can never go wrong with A Christmas Carol. The story is beautiful, a little on the depressing side, but it'll get you in the giving spirit.

The first silent film version of this Movie came out in 1901 and was named Scrooge or Marley's Ghost with Daniel Smith as Scrooge. There have been more than ten adaptations or remakes of the original story told by Charles Dickens.

My top two favorite adaptation of the story would have to be the 1984 version with George C. Scott as Scrooge:

And the 2009, Disney version :

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

2. The Polar Express

What's Christmas without a little adventure to believe. Music by Alan Silvestri and Screenplay by Robert Zemeckis and William Broyles Jr. This story is based on the 1985 children's book same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

I've never seen such great graphics and such a lovely story. Seeing isn't always believing, but this story will warm your heart and make you believe all night long.

"Seeing is believing"

3. How the Grinch Sole Christmas

Both the real-life and animated versions of this movie is always a classic to watch. Max is probably more loyal than my dog and Cindy Lou Who is the only one who understands the real meaning of Christmas. In the real-life version, Jim Carrey will keep you laughing and enjoying till the end.

4. Home Alone

This is a hilarious film with robbers, an 8 year old kid grocery shopping by himself, and the importance of family. This humor filled film pinpoints the understanding and importance of having family around for the holidays.

5. A Miracle on 34th Street

This is a heartwarming tale of "Santa" and brightening the heart of one young girl. This film is guaranteed to warm your heart and never underestimate what Santa can do to nonbelievers.

6. Elf

This humorous tale of an"elf" leaving the North Pole and traveling to the famous New York City. He has no idea what's in store for him and turns one family's holiday season to a time of joy.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear"

7. Rudolf The Red-Nose Reindeer

These stop motion films are a classic to enjoy every holiday season. Understanding that your flaws make you who you are is very important and this film is perfect for that.

8. Frosty the Snowman

This cartoon is timeless. Frosty is a snowman that "came to life one day" with a magical hat. The kids loved Frosty till they realized that the warming sun would leave frosty a puddle, in an extravagant effort to save frosty, the kids embark on a mission to get him to cooler weather.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas


You wouldn't dare going a Christmas season without watching Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas. With the telling of the Nativity Story and understanding true friendship and love

10. A Christmas Story

This is my all-time favorite Christmas movies. There's humor and beautiful moments in this little home in Indiana. From writing themes, to sexy leg lamps to Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
