The most wonderful time of year is (almost) here! That means right after finals the Christmas movies can kick off your long Christmas vacation. But with so many out there how are you suppose to know what the best is? No worries, I have you covered. On a side note, however, most of these will be light-hearted comedies because, in my opinion, those are the best!

1. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964)

This claymation film is sweet and fun! You can't help but fall in love with Rudolph and all of the other reindeer all over again after watching this movie!

2. Christmas with the Kranks

Ohhhh yes. This comedy will have you rolling. A good one to get you in the Christmas spirit early in December!

3. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

Yes I know we all think of Mickey as being a child's movie star. But you have to give this movie credit where credit is due. I always appreciate a movie from my old childhood favorites. So fun to watch!

4. The Santa Claus

This movie will have you thinking "... wait, what if my dad is Santa... NAH" But still, this movie is so fun!

5. The Santa Claus 3

The Escape Claus. This movie will give you an appreciation for Christmas as well as having a fun plot twist, dysfunctional family and yet still so full of love! Tim Allen sure does have a knack for Christmas movies!!

6. Home Alone

This movie is literally timeless. I am convinced I will be showing my kids this movie one day to kick-start their love for Christmas.

7. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Jim Carey's Grinch. That Grinch. Hands down. Do not argue.

8. The Polar Express

I can remember watching this movie at my parent's house with hot chocolate all cozy in a blanket. Something about this movie just brings out your inner child, which, in my opinion, is the best when it comes to Christmas. Having your inner child explode is the best way to get you in the Christmas spirit.

9. Elf

Anything Will Ferrell is in, I want to see. This Classic is the trademark of Christmas meme's, countdowns, jokes, anything else you can think of. It was a close contender for first... however the next one has it beat.

10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This is the ULTIMATE Christmas comedy. This will get you right in the spirit throughout the process of family coming and going and the painful questions about life that are no doubt going to put a damper on your spirit. This movie will fix all the above.

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
