There's two kinds of humans when it comes to Christmas. The one's that are absolutely obsessed with the holiday and that one's that roll their eyes at the people obsessed with the holiday. However, whichever side of the spectrum you may be, I think we can all agree we were die-hard fans of Christmas movies as kids. So here are the top 10 Christmas movies that may lead you to doing a little reminiscing about your childhood (and hey, that may even help you get into that holiday spirit):


1. The Grinch.

Who would I be if I didn't put this as number one? We all find ourselves still making references to this movie today. It was the perfect movie at age 5, and still is the perfect movie today. It's heartwarming and hilarious all at the same time, and features some pretty great songs. I may or may not be singing "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill right now.

2. Jack Frost.

You can't not love this movie. It has every aspect of love, family and comedy. It also features a fantastical element as Jack comes back to life as a snowman. It's just great okay.

3. The Santa Clause.

First off, Tim Allen. His acting is always fabulous and even though I probably didn't know his name as a kid, I sure do now. Watching Allen have to become the new Santa Clause and complete all the Christmas deliveries with his son is just incredible. Basically, something in which any of us kids would have dreamed of doing.

4. Home Alone.

The ultimate Christmas classic in which the character of Kevin McCallister was basically our hero. I could watch Kevin try to take down some robbers any day. Even Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is just as good.

5. Elf

A grown man as an elf whose two main food groups consist of candy and syrup, and whose favorite line is, "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" That's about all I have to say. The movie speaks for itself.

6. A Christmas Story.

Though its release was in 1983, this Christmas movie has still yet to get off everyone's radar. This was the film that taught me not to stick my tongue to an icy telephone poll, and also that I never desired to wear a pink bunny suite. Also, maybe that Ralphie was my spirit animal...

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'd say this movie has been always fitting for my two favorite holidays, both Halloween and Christmas. As kids, I'd say we were guilty of watching it for both occasions.

8. Christmas with the Kranks.

Both a Christmas disaster and a Christmas miracle. This movie is both hilarious and tender hearted at the same time. And once again...Tim Allen.

9. The Polar Express.

This movie was like a magical journey into another dimension where Christmas was everything and more. As a kid, I felt like I was along for the ride on the Polar Express myself.

10. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

The musicals, the characters, this movie is all around a family favorite. And how can you resist singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?" Whether it be the classic version or the many remixed ones.


So now that I have you experiencing some serious nostalgia, I hope you'll enjoy some hot coco while you're snuggled up in a million blankets watching some of these amazing Christmas movies.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
