6 Christmas Movies To Watch, Or Rewatch, This Year And The Next, And The Next

Ah yes, its almost that time, which means, you haven't watched any of the Christmas movies on this list, you're falling behind. Use this list to get caught up and get into the Christmas spirit!

"Arthur Christmas"

Arthur Christmas is the sweet tale of Santa's youngest son, Arthur, who just doesn't seem to be cut out for the family tradition of taking over the mantle of Santa. When one child is somehow missed in all of the Christmas chaos, Arthur tries to prove his worth by making sure that the child gets their gifts.

"It's a Wonderful Life"

This one is my favorite on the list, so while I may be biased, I feel that this is the quintessential Christmas movie. George Bailey questions the meaning of his life but is eventually shown just how he affected everyone around him. The movie focuses on family and love, the true spirit of a Christmas movie.

"Jingle All The Way"

Considered to be a "bad" movie, but albeit, a fun one. Arnie goes on an adventure to get the perfect gift for his son and learns a few lessons along the way.

"Love Actually"

Perhaps this is a cliche, "basic" choice, but this film remains one of my favorites and a timeless classic. Follow an ensemble cast through different types of love, from happy, to heartwrenching.

Home Alone

This movie has it all. It is a Christmas film, as young Kevin learns to appreciate his family when he accidentally gets left Home Alone for the holidays. At the same time, while most children dream of being left alone, it takes that idea and turns it into a nightmare, leaving Kevin to become a Christmas action hero in his own right.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

While the Benedict Cumberbatch remake might be taking the spotlight right now, I'd like to remind everyone of the 2000 Jim Carrey version, which was a spectacular telling of the store with an absolute comedic genius playing the title character. Could you ask for anything more?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
