Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, Christmas season is in full swing, and I'm all about it. I am a firm believer of nothing "Christmas-related comes before Thanksgiving" but come November 25th, all Christmas everything is a-okay with me. My roommates and I have our house decked out in Christmas decor, a tree, lights, stockings the whole ordeal. I love to bake and Christmas gives me the best opportunities to make tasty treats. With hot cocoa and cider, you really can't deny that Christmas is the whole package. The love and light the Christmas holiday embraces even makes me, Halloween's number one fan, giggly and excited. But there is one thing that Christmas would not feel complete without and that is Christmas movies. I know we could all watch them all year but now we can fully indulge in these gems of films. This Christmas season, be sure to cuddle up in a room with your family and friends, cookies and cocoa (wine) in hand and lose yourself in these holiday classics.


1. Elf

This is one that I can remember going to the theater as a young child with my mother and that's part of the reason it'll also be special to me but I mean come on this movie can have you buckled over from laughing no matter how many times you watch it.

2. It's a Wonderful life.

There is just something comforting in the quote "everytime a bell rings an angel gets its wings."


3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

This movie will always be a Christmas staple if you ask me, it's just one that can never get old.


4. The Grinch.

Whether you chose the animated version for the one with Jim Carrey The Grinch is a wonderful Christmas movie that can give even the biggest scrooge some Christmas cheer.


5. A Christmas Story.

If there is a Christmas movie of all Christmas movies then to me this is it. My family watched this at least 2-3 times each Christmas day and I don't see any of us getting tired of it anytime soon, and I know deep down my dad wants the leg lamp.

6. Home Alone.

I do not believe that I have ever met anyone who hasn't watched the Home Alone movies. The are older than I am so to me they feel like they have been around forever.


7. The Santa Clause.

Looking back on my childhood I have to say for a long time this was my favorite Christmas movie and it will always hold a place in my heart. This film perfectly captured how Imagine the North Pole would be. If you have watched this film you can't deny that there it has its' own special kind of Christmas magic.

8. Bad Santa.

Sure this one isn't "family friendly" but put the kids to bed and crack out this film if you want a little crudeness an several hard laughs.


9. The Polar Express.

Another film that captures the childhood love and emotions of Christmas. No matter your age this is a film that can and will hit you right in the feels.

10. A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Simply stated there is nothing like any Peanut's special.

11. Frosty the Snowman.

This Christmas gives "happy birthday!" a whole new meaning, am I right? This movie fuels the imagination of all of us no matter our age.


There are tons of wonderful Christmas movies you can watch over the magical holiday but if you start with these then there is no way that you can go wrong.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
