3 Reasons Hallmark Movies Are the Best Part of the Holidays

During the holiday season people get excited for things like the food and music. And even though I enjoy those aspects of this season, I will forever be addicted to Hallmark movies. They are cheesy, cliche, and sometimes downright dumb. But these factors are what make the movies so irresistible. They all be predictable holiday romances, but I have three reason for why I love Hallmark movies.

1. Relationships Goals

Is the plot very unrealistic? Maybe.... but it still does make you feel all warm inside when you see the couple you have been rooting for share a special moment. I know that I a very sentimental person, but seeing these stories play out makes me want to be these characters. Even though my life may not become a reall\ life Hallmark movie, I will always wish for it every Christmas.

2. Comfort

There is just something so soothing about a Hallmark movie. The plots are so easy and simple that you can relax while enjoying one of these cliche movies. Plus, the spirit of Christmas that these movies preach only lifts your mood. You can never stay mad when watching a Hallmark movie. Whenever I'm having a bad time during the Holiday season, a Hallmark movie is the perfect cure.

3. Tradition

These movies have been going on for years. And every Christmas time I make it my mission to watch almost all of the new ones. This tradition is what makes my holiday season. They may be problematic, annoying or boring at times but it's the simple fact that I can always rely on them every year that makes them so special.

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.
