The Best Holiday Movies On Netflix

The holidays are here, folks. Finals are over and Christmas is officially in full swing! We only have three weeks to completely binge watch all the classic (and maybe not-so-classic, but still just as good) holiday movies on Netflix. If you're looking to kick back with some hot cocoa and a warm fuzzy blanket check out the best movies to accompany your Christmas relaxation.

1. "The Santa Clause"

Who doesn't love a good Tim Allen movie? This movie is a classic 90's holiday film. It's got everything you could possibly want for the holidays -- Santa, his elves, and a comedic main character. This movie is a stand-out to me because it lacks the "romance" factor that you'll find in almost every other Christmas movie. The storyline is completely based upon a father-son relationship, and it'll make you shed a few tears for sure.

2. "The Legend of Frosty the Snowman"

If you didn't watch this movie in elementary school during the holidays, you must have not grown up in America. This movie was always my teachers' go-to, and I love the classic storyline. Frosty is such an iconic Christmas character, and this movie brings back all my seven-year-old feels.


3. "Christmas with the Kranks"

Again, another Tim Allen classic (he must love the holidays). "Christmas with the Kranks" is a hilarious family film that will make you really get in the Christmas spirit (because the Kranks, clearly aren't).


4. "Love Actually"

It totally does not need to be Christmas time for you to watch this movie, but if you want an all around romantic movie that will make you feel sad about being single, then ditch the hot cocoa, grab your wine, and let the movie roll.


5. "Miracle on 34th Street"

Okay, I have personally never seen this one (judge all you want) but what I know is that this movie plays on every big television network during the holidays. So if you're wanting to watch one of the absolute classics that, I'm sure, will never disappoint, turn this one on and grab your snacks!

Regardless if you're alone or with loved ones this holiday season, you will always have Netflix to count on.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
