Warm And Fuzzy Winter Films

As the winter months draw in closer, "Netflix and chill," becomes less about relationships and more about how freezing cold it is outside, and how close the holidays are. Many, such as myself, are spending these cold evenings wrapped up in warm blankets with hot chocolate, watching classic holiday films. Sometimes, though, you just can't choose what movie you want to watch. Here's a comprehensive list of some of the best warm and fuzzy films you can find on the Internet.

1. Elf (2003)

What are the holidays without this classic? I'm Jewish, and even I enjoy Elf. It's a classic film, with so many memorable quotes, that it'll truly last throughout the ages. It's so timeless and relatable, and everyone can gain something from the story. After all, "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."


2. Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

This one is actually a Hanukkah film, something I didn't think actually really existed in mainstream media. It was created and voiced nearly completely by none other than Adam Sandler, based somewhat on his Hanukkah Song. It follows the story of Davey Stone, an orphan who can't enjoy the holidays after the unexpected death of his parents when he was a teen on one of the nights of Hanukkah. It's rather raunchy, but sometimes that's a good change from all the children's movies.

3. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

Maybe it's silly and childish, but I really can't imagine the holiday season without this movie. Maybe it's because of childhood memories of the Muppets with my sister and cousin, but this movie just always makes me think of the holiday season. The Muppets are funny in a way that captures the attention of people of all ages, from babies to teens to adults to seniors, and this movie is truly a classic.

4. Love, Actually (2003)

What's a list of holiday movies without mention of this classic? People may judge me for this, but I didn't see the movie until my first semester of senior year of in my Cultural Media Literacy class. Once I did, though, I couldn't get enough. It took us two class days to watch it, and I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know how everyone's stories were going to end. It was such a unique way to tell such an amazing story, and has some of the most memorable quotes of all time.

5. The Polar Express (2004)

It seems as if the early 2000s was a good year for holiday films. Most of the film on the list came out in that time, and this one is no exception. Based on a children's book, The Polar Express is truly one of the most interesting films I've seen in a long time. The story is one that is relatable to so many, although it obviously isn't true. It fills so many with joy, and is a movie the whole family can enjoy.

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.

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?
