Some of my favorite Christmas movies that everyone should watch

Oh My Disney

Christmas is just about a week away, which is plenty of time to get some Christmas movies in! There are many movies out there, all for different tastes. I'm going to share a few of my favorites to watch:

1: My all-time favorite: Snow

Snow is about a young man named Nick Snowden on his first year of being Santa Claus and his journey to find his reindeer that is stuck in a zoo. The reindeer, named Buddy, cannot fly and Nick has to teach the reindeer just a few days left until Christmas. But Buck, the bad guy, is out to get Buddy the reindeer and sell him as big game. It's a romantic story that is both emotional and hilarious at the same time. The best way to watch it is on YouTube. While it is on Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, it was only aired once this year (total bummer). I also highly recommend the sequel where Nick loses his memory and puts Christmas in jeopardy.

2: The Santa Clause

This one airs a lot on the 25 Days of Christmas. It is a very popular film featuring Tim Allen as Scott Calvin. On Christmas Eve, Scott startles Santa off the roof, killing Santa. Charlie, Scott's son, brings Scott up to the roof where he becomes the new Santa, whether he likes the idea or not. This is a great comedy and a great movie about family.

3: The Polar Express

I have no idea how people have not watched this movie. Isn't just a norm in culture nowadays? It makes me feel so full of Christmas after watching it! Who wouldn't want to go on a magical train ride to see Santa?

4: Annabelle's Wish

Almost no one I know has heard of this movie and it makes me so sad. Annabelle, a young calf, meets Santa and gets incredibly excited, wishing that she one day can fly like his reindeer. She helps her friend Billy, the farm boy through his life before being able to get her wish. If you want a large dose of adorable, watch this one.

5: Rankin/Bass Productions

There are a lot made by these guys, so I'm just throwing them all together. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, and The Year Without a Santa Claus are some of the great ones.

These are just some of my personal favorites. What ones are yours?

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

5. I will meet new people.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
