December is one of the best months of the year. After suffering through finals and tons of school work, we get a long break from school and get to be home and enjoy all the holidays around us, and being with our family and friends! Besides decorating, gift buying, and baking cookies, Christmas movies are one of the best ways to enjoy the season and really get in the Christmasy spirit. Here are some of the best Christmas movies that you need to watch this (and every) Christmas season, even if you have seen them all at least 50 times (which you most likely have).

1. "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas"


A true classic with Jim Carrey, this movie will get you in all the Christmas feels. It's funny, memorable, and in many ways we can relate to the grinch. Also, will probably make you want to live in Whoville (and be Cindy Lou Who). Also, will make you fall in love with Faith Hill's classic, "Where are you Christmas?" This is definitely a perfect movie to watch while you drink hot cocoa and eat Christmas cookies.

2. "Home Alone"

The great and classic story about the kid (Macaulay Culkin) who gets left home alone over the holiday season, and somehow manages to keep away burglars from stealing everything in his house and hurting him. This is definitely another funny and heart-warming classic that needs to be watched this December.

3. "The Santa Clause"

How could you not want to watch Tim Allen in this great story of how he literally becomes Santa Claus on Christmas eve night? His transformation into Santa is funny and will make you want to be a kid again to get those same Christmas feels you used to when believing in Santa. After watching this, you can watch this series' 2nd and 3rd movies!

4. "Elf"

I'm pretty sure everyone loves this movie. How could you not enjoy the story an elf who comes to NYC from the North Pole and is just trying to figure his way around plus find his real dad. His optimistic view on life and Christmas is definitely going to cheer you up and help get you more into the Christmas spirit.

After getting home from school after difficult finals and end of the semester work, it is a definite necessity to begin watching all the Christmas movies to help boost your spirit and get you ready for the fun holiday season.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
