12 Christmas Movies We All Need To Watch This Holiday Season
Blue Haven Hotel

1) A Christmas Story

In which Ralphie is all of us.


2) Mickey's A Christmas Carol

Frankly, all the live-action versions of this story are much too creepy for me. The Mickey Mouse version is just as heartwarming, and it has Donald Duck.


3) Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

If you like a good underdog story, how about a Christmas

4) Home Alone

If Ralphie is all of us, Kevin McAllister is who we all wish we were. Clever, cute, and full of surprises.

5) The Polar Express

For all kids who were in elementary school after this movie came out, this movie brings back fond memories of getting to wear your pajamas to school and drink hot chocolate in class.


6) How The Grinch Stole Christmas

When did The Grinch become so ridiculously relatable?

7) The Santa Clause

This movie was so good they got to make three of them. But nothing beats the original, where Tim Allen's dad-type character has to become Santa because he killed him on accident.

8) Love Actually

While the TV version is more appropriate for all audiences, this movie captures a number of love (and heartbreak) stories to make you cry, and smile, and laugh until it hurts. All while commemorating may of our favorite holiday.

Bonus Points; British accents and baby Thomas Sangster


9) Christmas with The Kranks

This familial disaster might make you feel better about getting together with your own at the holidays.

10) It's A Wonderful Life

You'll cry sad tears, and then happy ones, all in the spirit of Christmas.

11) The Family Stone

Diane Keaton uses sign language and makes inappropriate jokes about her daughter's sex life. Need I say more?

12) Elf

Buddy is just doing his best to be cheerful at Christmas, while simultaneously being hilariously out of touch with the real world.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
