'Tis the season because it's finally winter break! The last few months have been filled with tailgate season, wild parties, all-nighters spent at the library, unhealthy eating, an insufficient amount of sleep, and endless amounts of homework and stress. But hey, you're here and you made it to the light at the end of the tunnel: winter break.

When college students start college, they anticipate all the fun times and crazy memories that come with college, but they also look forward to walking out of their last final and going home for the holidays.

While college students are excited to go home for winter break, the same thing happens every year: they run out of things to do. In the time leading up to Christmas and New Years, there are only so many shopping trips and lunch dates you can have with your friends from home before you get bored. No need to worry, because I have you covered.

Who doesn't want to spend winter break at home, relaxing, wearing your pajamas, drinking hot chocolate, and watching movies with your family and friends? In case you're in need of some movie inspiration, here are 20 must-see movies (not in any specific order) to watch over winter break, or anytime of year, because who doesn't want to watch Christmas movies all year?


1. "The Santa Clause"

2. "The Santa Clause 2"

3. "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause"

4. "Elf"

5. "Four Christmases"

6. "A Year Without a Santa Clause"

7. "The Polar Express"

8. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

9. "The Holiday"

10. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

11. "Christmas with the Kranks"

12. "A Christmas Story"

13. "Home Alone"

14. "Frosty the Snowman"

15. "Miracle on 34th Street"

16. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

17. "A Christmas Carol"

18. "A Bad Mom's Christmas"

19. "Jack Frost"

20. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"

While there are dozens of Christmas movies I could have included on this list, these are my go-to Christmas movies every year. Comprised of quite a few classics, movies you wouldn't expect, and a series, the best way to spend your winter break is by relaxing with a cup of hot chocolate, wearing your pajamas, and watching Christmas movies with your family and friends.

'Tis the season!

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.
