10 Movies to Get You in the Mood for the the Holidays

My family is big on Holiday movies. Now that Winter Break is upon us, here are my top 10 Holiday movie suggestions for you to watch this break.

10. The Polar Express

A classic movie with a heart-warming story. The Polar Express is perfect with siblings, parents, or friends, a cozy blanket, and a warm cup of hot chocolate.

9. Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Whether the animated version or the Jim Carey version, nothing will fill your heart quite like The Grinch. It's possible your heart might even grow three times as big.

8. A Christmas Story

Once again, a classic. It really isn't Christmas without watching the shenanigans of Ralphie and crew.

7. The Muppet Christmas Carol

I mean, any version of The Christmas Carol would work, but this is my personal favorite version, great music, Muppets, and all.

6. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

A great one to get you in the Christmas spirit, watch the story of how Kris Kringle became the Santa Claus we've come to know and love.

5. The Year Without Santa Claus

What would happen if there was no more Christmas spirit? Well, a few adventures, a few run-ins with the Miser brothers, and some hope might be able to bring Santa Claus back.

4. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Not only is it the story behind the Christmas-favorite song, but it is a heart-warming story. Between Hermie, Clarisse, Bumble, Yukon Cornelius, and, of course, Rudolph, this is a movie to love and remember.

3. A Charlie Brown Christmas

My family watches this movie EVERY Christmas. It's hard to not love Charlie Brown and his friends and the warm message of this movie. Plus, Linus nails it with the telling of the Christmas story.

2.Elf

I mean... in a way, it's a cult classic. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to hate tights-wearing Will Ferrell as an overly enthusiastic human who believes he is an Elf and absolutely loves Christmas. This movie is sure to put you in a good mood and is extremely quotable when you want a laugh with your family or friends.

1. It's A Wonderful Life

Bring out the hot chocolate, bring out the tissues, be prepared for tears and listen for that bell. If this story doesn't make you emotional, then you need to re-watch it and get more invested. The troubles of George Bailey help bring us back to reality, despite this movie being made in 1946.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
