The Top 5 Best Christmas Movies
20 Something

The first snow has fallen, finals preparations have begun, and Christmas is upon us. What better way to celebrate the season than to watch a few Christmas classics? Below are 5 of my all time favorite Christmas movies to watch during Christmas break.

1. The Polar Express

The Polar Express is a classic and beautiful Christmas movie. It will make you wish you were still a little kid again. It will also make you remember the extreme excitement and wonder that comes with Christmas eve.

2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This movie is a must-watch for comedy lovers. The Griswold family is ridiculous and lovable at the same time. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation will make you laugh, and you'll be grateful to have the family you have.

3. Elf

Another classic Christmas comedy, Elf is perfect for the holiday season. Buddy the elf is the most lovable character, and his pure intentions will put you in the Christmas spirit.

4. A Christmas Story

This is my personal favorite. A Christmas Story is definitely one of the most famous Christmas movies out there. Plus, it's always on TV during the holidays, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to watch it.

5. The Grinch (Classic)

You have to watch a kids' classic during the holidays. Plus, Doctor Suess is fantastic.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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!)
