Christmas is right around the corner, and if you aren't in the holiday spirit yet check out these movies that will surely get you there. Obviously, there are so many more good ones out there, so share and tell your friends what holiday movie is your favorite!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

The Grinch is a classic; although, the animated film brings back childhood memories I prefer the live action. Hollywood added a little twist with the Grinch's backstory and a love interest - probably why I like it so much.

The Santa Clause

Another childhood classic, you can't help fall in love with all the characters at the North Pole. This movie also proves that originals are better than sequels. Plus, Charlie is cuter when he is the innocent child that believes in Christmas magic.

A Christmas Kiss

It may be cheesy and dramatic, but who doesn't dream of a life changing holiday kiss. Fun characters surrounded by holiday traditions can make you want to start some of your own.

Home Alone

The shenanigans of Kevin are priceless and the lesson about family is unforgettable. Again, a classic original. However, the sequel does a pretty good job of inspire more Christmas love.

It's a Wonderful Life

A tradition in my household this is an oldie but a goodie. Realizing that you have everything you never knew you wanted is the gift of Christmas.

Frosty the Snowman

If you don't have a white Christmas this is the movie for you. It brings the magic of snow to you. If you don't believe in Christmas, this is a great movie to get you in the cheery spirit that wraps around everyone this time of year.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Find the true meaning of Christmas with Charlie Brown. The classic that is a must see.

A Christmas Story

Nothing beats tongues stuck to ice poles, leg lamps in the window, and a bb-gun for Christmas. A must see.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

The unusual animation that brought to life the most famous reindeer of all. A classic tale of misfits and friends.

A Princess for Christmas

A reminder that even when people are gone they are still watching over their loved ones. A fairy tale Christmas for the ages.

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.
