'Tis the season because it's finally winter break! The last few months have been filled with tailgate season, wild parties, all-nighters spent at the library, unhealthy eating, an insufficient amount of sleep, and endless amounts of homework and stress. But hey, you're here and you made it to the light at the end of the tunnel: winter break.

When college students start college, they anticipate all the fun times and crazy memories that come with college, but they also look forward to walking out of their last final and going home for the holidays.

While college students are excited to go home for winter break, the same thing happens every year: they run out of things to do. In the time leading up to Christmas and New Years, there are only so many shopping trips and lunch dates you can have with your friends from home before you get bored. No need to worry, because I have you covered.

Who doesn't want to spend winter break at home, relaxing, wearing your pajamas, drinking hot chocolate, and watching movies with your family and friends? In case you're in need of some movie inspiration, here are 20 must-see movies (not in any specific order) to watch over winter break, or anytime of year, because who doesn't want to watch Christmas movies all year?


1. "The Santa Clause"

2. "The Santa Clause 2"

3. "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause"

4. "Elf"

5. "Four Christmases"

6. "A Year Without a Santa Clause"

7. "The Polar Express"

8. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

9. "The Holiday"

10. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

11. "Christmas with the Kranks"

12. "A Christmas Story"

13. "Home Alone"

14. "Frosty the Snowman"

15. "Miracle on 34th Street"

16. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

17. "A Christmas Carol"

18. "A Bad Mom's Christmas"

19. "Jack Frost"

20. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"

While there are dozens of Christmas movies I could have included on this list, these are my go-to Christmas movies every year. Comprised of quite a few classics, movies you wouldn't expect, and a series, the best way to spend your winter break is by relaxing with a cup of hot chocolate, wearing your pajamas, and watching Christmas movies with your family and friends.

'Tis the season!

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.

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.
