Five Movies to Watch During the Holidays

Hey, guys! So, since I made a list of the five must-see movies for Halloween, I thought it was only right to do one for Christmas as well. So, here is a list of the five movies you HAVE to see this year!

1. The Santa Clause

This movie from 1994, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys the Christmas holidays. It's a classic about how a father has to take over the role of Santa after Santa falls off of his roof. Plus, it has Tim Allen, so it has to be good! Did I mention that it's on Netflix now?

2. It's a Wonderful Life

Also a classic, It's a Wonderful Life from 1946 is a story about what life would have been like if the main character had never existed. Don't worry, the movie's not all sad; there are happy parts.

3. The Holiday

The Holiday is a movie from 2006, but for some reason, I hadn't seen it until last year. It is a chick flick, but it's really sweet and I absolutely adore this movie. I won't be able to go another Christmas without watching it. The amazing cast consists of Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law.

4. The Polar Express

So, when I looked up the year for this one, it made me feel SO old! (It's from 2004...it's twelve years old. WHAT?) But, this movie is still one of my favorites. The music, Tom Hanks, everything. Just. So. Good.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Okay, so this one definitely makes me feel old. How the Grinch Stole Christmas came out in 2000. I was only six years old! It does NOT feel like it's been that long since it came out. Well, anyway, this is a really good Christmas movie and it has Jim Carrey in it, so you know it has to be good.

These are only five movies out of a larger list of Christmas movies that are really good that I watch every year, but if you have Christmas movie recommendations, you can comment them below, because I've surely missed some! Happy Holidays!

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!)
