5. “Elf”

The story of a human elf raised in the North Pole’s journey to find his biological father in New York city. Along the way, Buddy the elf learns what it is like to live as a human outside of Santa’s workshop. Although he faces many obstacles, Buddy’s journey to the big apple revives the Christmas spirit of a community filled with skeptics.

4. “The Polar Express”

The tale of a young boy’s journey to the North Pole on a magical train called the Polar Express. Despite his skepticism about Santa Clause, the extraordinary train, elves and his ability to hear the ringing of one of Santa's sleigh bells revives his belief and brings Christmas spirit to young children everywhere.

3. “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

The 1966 animated musical is a tale of a grumpy character called the Grinch who tries to steal the spirit of Christmas from the Whos in Whoville. Everything changes when he comes across Cindy Lou Who, whom restores the Christmas spirit in the members of Whoville, along with Mr. Grinch.

2. “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

This classic 1960’s animated film tells the story of a depressed Charlie Brown who tries to get in the Christmas spirit by directing the Christmas play. With the help of his friends, Charlie Brown brings back the true meaning of Christmas, despite the other kids' efforts of modernizing the play. The heartfelt film illuminates the true meaning of Christmas, without all of the “glitz and glam” of today’s modern world.

1. “A Christmas Story”

The story of young Ralphie, who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder B.B. gun from Santa Clause. The realistic tale of a 1980s family continues to capture the heart of modern families today, airing 24 hours on Christmas day on TBS and/or TNT. There is nothing quite like opening your presents from Santa and drinking hot chocolate with the Parker family's antics playing in the background.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
