11 Movies To Watch This Holiday Season
popsugar

From Elf quotes to fuzzy little monsters, these movies will help you pass the time until the big day you've been waiting for. Just make sure you don't turn into a Grinch while waiting for it to arrive. Instead, just sit back, relax, and drink a nice big cup of "hot, hot, hot. hot cho-co-late!" - Polar Express.


1. Home Alone.

These movies always made me think about why his parents continuously left him home alone year after year, even though this kept happening. Fortunately, this kid has an endless pit of ideas that keep him safe each and every year.

2. Elf.


Can't we all be as excited as Buddy is when we see Santa? Or at least know that Christmas is slowly approaching? Well, maybe we don't have to be as excited as Buddy is, but we can at least show a little bit of excitement and enthusiasm on the approaching days and not just the day of.

3. Bad Santa.

Remember, just because you're a mall Santa, doesn't mean you're immediately going to go on the nice list. You need to play the part as well, unlike Mr. Thorton here.

5. The Polar Express.

Does the bell still ring for you? If it doesn't I suggest taking some time to watch this movie, so you'll start to "truly believe".

6. Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

"Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say. Rudolf with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" - Gene Autry

7. The Santa Clause.

Unless you want to end up being Santa Claus like Tim Burton. Just let that noise you hear on your roof late on Christmas eve be. Cause if you don't, you'll be in for a nice surprise.

8. A Christmas Story.

Remember when mom always said "You'll shoot your eye out" if you get that bb-gun? Well, how do we know if that'll happen if we don't get it?

9. Eight Crazy Nights.


"Hanukkah is the festival of lights, instead of one day of presents we get eight crazy nights" - Adam Sandler.We have to remember that this holiday season isn't just about Christmas. Even though there are tons of movies leaning that way, Adam Sandler felt like a movie about Hanukkah was very much needed.

10. Unaccompanied minors.

For those of you who travel to other parts of your family during the holidays, you've probably experienced this once or twice. Well, maybe not to the extent of these guys, but you know what I mean.

11. Dr. Seuss's: How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

"Maybe Christmas." the Grinch thought "doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas" ...perhaps... "means a little bit more" - Dr. Seuss. Enjoy your holiday season, be with family and friends, and don't be a Grinch.

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.

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.
