Since 2003, my family has watched "Elf" every year before Christmas. It's just tradition. The Christmas season brings people together and what better way to do that than with a Christmas movie. While everyone has their favorite movie, I'm here to share with you my top 10 favorite Christmas movies.

1. Elf

Bye Buddy! Hope you find your Dad! Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color? The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

2. Home Alone

Oh, Kevin McCallister...you clever kid you. You gotta give the kid props...he's pretty smart.

3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I only wish my house could look like that.

4. The Holiday

I can't help but watch this movie for Jude Law and Jude Law only. He's perfect, especially with those glasses.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

If the Grinch isn't me, then I don't know who is. I relate to him on such a spiritual level. Take that back...college students relate to him way more.

6. The Santa Clause

Scott Calvin or Santa Clause? I got to say, this movie is actually way better than I remember it being when I was younger. Tim Allen looks so good...

7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Such a classic. If you don't appreciate Rudolph, then I don't appreciate you.

8. Polar Express

That's all I want when Christmas comes to town.

9. Frosty the Snowman

I wonder what happened to that old top hat the children found. Another classic. Can't ever go wrong with Frosty.

10. White Christmas

Although it's an old movie, no one else can sing White Christmas like Bing Crosby. His voice just makes you melt.

While I still enjoy other Christmas movies, here are a few honorable mentions: Christmas with the Kranks, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, any Hallmark Christmas movie, and any movie played during Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas.

There you have it, these were my top 10 all-time favorite Christmas movies. If you haven't seen some of the one's I mentioned, I highly recommend watching them! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to your's!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
