You're finally home for the holidays or procrastinating on a final paper, instead of watching your favorite television show you are now hooked on holiday/Christmas movies. Here are the top ten holiday movies to watch.

1. "Elf"


This is a classic, you can never go wrong with "Elf". This movie is about a man leaving the North Pole in search of his father and ending up in New York City where he isn't accustomed to any of the city life.

2. "Home Alone"


This movie is about a boy getting left home alone during Christmas time while his parents are away for a holiday vacation. He is left to fend his home off from some robbers by building some DIY traps to catch them.

3. "The Polar Express"


A personal favorite of mine, "The Polar Express" is an animated story based of the book. A boy goes on the Polar Express to the North Pole and in order to get back in time he needs to believe in the Christmas spirit.

4. "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"


There is the animated version and the real life version, but the Grinch is this creature who lives in the mountains on top of Whoville and he hates everything. He tries to ruin Christmas by stealing presents and decorations, only to have his heart grow warmer by the Christmas spirit.

5. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"


A classic cartoon explaining the real meaning of Christmas through Charlie Brown's adventures and rhetoric.

6. "Love Actually"


A cute, sappy movie based around Christmas, explaining how love brings us all together for the holidays no matter what is going on in our lives.

7. "Frosty The Snowman"


A cartoon snowman comes alive by magic and brings the holiday cheer through dancing and music, until the magician needs his magic hat back and the temperature starts to rise, causing Frosty to melt.

8. "Four Christmases"


A new couple goes on four separate Christmases for each sides of their families and along the way many little mishaps happen between families. In the end they all find a better understanding of how they each bring out the holidays and love in each other.

9. "Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer"


A shy, smaller reindeer is always getting made fun of because of his shiny red nose, but one day Santa comes and says that he needs him to help guide his sleigh throughout the night. This movie goes through the unexpected turns of doubt and problems that happen throughout the movie.

10. Any lifetime or Hallmark movies


Hallmark or Lifetime always has movies on each day of the month. Why not cuddle up and watch a sappy, love story come true?

Hopefully you sit back, relax and enjoy these movies that will keep you occupied for the next few hours.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
