I'm a huge fan of old movies, here's a list of my favorite!

1. Miracle on 34th Street

When a nice old man claims to be Santa Claus and is institutionalized as insane, a lawyer decides to defend him and prove that he is, in fact, the real Santa Claus. Now if this doesn't make you wanna watch a movie, I don't know what will.

2. It's a Wonderful Life 

An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperate, unhappy businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.

3. Holiday Inn

At an inn that is only open for the holidays, two friends become competitive in their similar love interest. This movie includes tons of song and dance and is great for all audiences.

4. White Christmas 

A successful song-and-dance team becomes romantically involved with a sister act and team up to save the failing Vermont inn of their former commanding general. This movie is said to be a loose remake of Holiday Inn and features the same song from the first movie: "White Christmas."

5. A Christmas Story

Ralphie, a young boy, tries to convince his parents to get him a Red Ryder BB gunfire Christmas. The movie includes tons of humor and is definitely one of my favorites from this list! For anyone wanting to watch this, TBS airs a 24-hour marathon each year starting Christmas Eve.

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas 

Now this one is probably a little more popular than the others. The plot includes a fed up, cranky, grinch who comes up with a plan to steal Christmas away from Whoville. The Who's however, learn how to make the holiday great even after all their gifts are stolen.

7. Home Alone

Kevin, an adorable 8 year-old-boy, has to protect his house from burglars after he is left home alone while his family is on their Christmas vacation. Kevin learns how important family is to him and also how to kick some burglar butt!

8. The Santa Clause 

The final (and most recent) movie on the list is The Santa Clause! This one includes a random man who accidentally kills Santa Clause and soon finds that he is turning into Santa himself. They also came out with 2 more movies after this one and they are all amazing.

Christmas is the best time of the year and if you have any spare time this Christmas season, you should give these movies a try! There's nothing like spending the day watching old movies.

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.
