Holiday movies are not my favorite genre of film, but when the time comes, I have my classics that are a must-watch. As a film major, I find myself struggling to really enjoy movies the same way, but these old faithfuls still take the cake!

Love Actually

Director: Richard Curtis

My all-time favorite Christmas movie thus far! First, I love how it seamlessly tells the story of eight different lives and brings them all together in the end. It keeps you intrigued, and you don't get confused within all the many different perspectives.

The Best Man Holiday

Director: Malcolm D. Lee

I watch this movie every single year and I never get tired of it. It shows the different elements of friendship, good and bad, and how important friendship can be.

Friday After Next

Director: Marcus Raboy

Who doesn't love a good comedy!? "Friday After Next" is the third film in the "Friday" trilogy and my favorite of the three. This holiday comedy focuses on the black community and puts a comical emphasis on the events that take place there.

The Polar Express

Director: Robert Zemeckis

You always have to have one good cartoon movie on the list, and this is mine. Ever since the first time I saw this film, I always thought it was the sweetest and most genuine Christmas movie ever. Not to mention it has amazing graphics and animation! It shows exemplary foundations of joy, friendship, and courage.

The Last Holiday

Director: Wayne Wang

Personally, I love this movie because I just love Queen Latifah. Not to say that it isn't a great movie, because it is, but I just really liked seeing her take on a role outside of her comfort zone. The film is about a woman who learns that she has three weeks to live and decides to drop everything to complete her bucket list.

Elf

Director: Jon Favreau

I find this movie intriguing. It reads like an animated film but then incorporates a modern twist of reality. It tells the story of an orphan who was adopted by Santa as an elf, but then returns to the U.S. to find his father. This is another classic Christmas comedy that the whole family will enjoy.

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.
