'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!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
