The 10 Best Holiday Movies To Watch This Season

Everybody has their favorite holiday movie and will watch it at least 4 times during the season. This list may be somewhat biased since I am the biggest fan of Home Alone and Home Alone 2. I grew up in a family who basically ran on the holiday season. Everybody would come home and celebrate together. I know it is only November but it is never too early to start watching Christmas movies.

1. Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Every year watching this as a child all you could think was, "what if that was me?". I mean honestly it is a horrible concept that his parents forgot him at home but it made a great movie! KEVIN!

2.Elf

Everybody's favorite elf around the season. Full of fun, laughter, syrup and burps! Gotta love Buddy the Elf!

3.National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

One of the funniest movies to watch during the season that shows the true feelings around the holidays from the stress and the beaming joy. Clark Griswold, you are my hero.

4.Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Between the cuteness of little Cindy Loo Who and the hysterical Grinch, this movie is a classic. Every time after I watch this I find myself wishing I lived in Whoville.

5. A Christmas Story

"You'll shoot your eye out", enough said.

6. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

One of the first Christmas movies I watched and to this day will continue watching it around the holiday season.

7. Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a hit back then and is still a hit according to my nephew who watches it and sings it year round.

8. Polar Express

Does not matter how old you are, by the end of this movie you will believe and might even shed a tear or two.

9. The Santa Clause

Such a good movie for kids and adults. You will laugh and you will cry, but I cry at everything so maybe that is just me. It is a definite watch this holiday season!

10. A Charlie Brown Christmas

"An oldie but a goodie", Charlie Brown Christmas never fails to make someone happy. Don't lie, you shed a tear at Linus' speech every year.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
