Is there any better way to spend the holiday season than to snuggle up and watch some festive movies? Whether you like Christmas or hate this time of year, I suggest catching up on some of these holiday classics. There are some really great holiday movies out there. Here are just a few of my favorites!


8. "The Santa Clause"

Whether you like the first, second or third "The Santa Clause," these movies are classics. Tim Allen stars in this hilarious movie about becoming Santa. If you haven't seen these movies, you should definitely incorporate them into your next movie night.

7. "Miracle on 34th Street"

I watched this (short) movie for the first time this Christmas season. I enjoyed it and loved the "old-time" feel the movie gave as well as the message the movie portrayed.

6. "A Year Without Santa Claus"

I think I enjoy this movie just for the catchy songs. Snow Miser and Heat Miser are what really make this movie great! The awkward elf is pretty cute, too.


5. "Elf"

Everyone knows the movie, "Elf." It is a quirky, funny flick that really captures the Christmas spirit at its finest. Though it is a bit overplayed, it is still one of my favorite movies. It seems to have become too mainstream within the last couple of years.

4. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

This movie says a lot without saying much at all. This is another classic that I'm sure most everyone has seen, but it's still is one of my all-time favorites!

3. "Christmas Vacation"

Whether it be the giant Christmas tree, the malfunctioning lights or the quirky family, this movie has been one of my favorites since I was a young kid! It is a classic must-see for the holiday season.

2. "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas"

"The Grinch" is a classic movie during the Christmas season. I love the more recent version from 2000. All of the holiday cheer and the fun styles that "the Whos" wear really add to the movie. The Grinch himself is pretty hilarious, too. You learn to love his loathing with every little comment he makes.

1. "The Polar Express"

My all-time favorite Christmas movie has to be "The Polar Express." Although the movie seems a little dark at times, I love the fact that you get to leave certain parts to your imagination. I believe that everyone who watches this movie thinks of it in different ways and, to me, that is super cool. And, let's be honest, the songs are pretty great, too!


Christmas is quickly on its way! Spend a weekend catching up on these holiday classics to get you in the spirit of the season. Who knows, maybe they'll become some of your favorites, too.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
