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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
