5 Videos That Mentally Prepare You For The Holidays

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

With the holiday season coming up, many of us are preparing to go home. In order to properly ready you for the impending stress, here are some awesome videos from Go90 to remind you of home.

1. I Pranked My Parents

Were you a horrible child? At least this kid is a fabulous businesswoman. Her parents come home to her selling everything in their yard…for little to nothing. They try to cut in, but a deal is a deal. You have never seen parents so distressed. This girl is amazing.

2. Madea’s Big Happy Family

Madea always reminds us what family really is. And that family is a dysfunctional mess. Always relatable, Madea brings ridiculousness to the dinner table.

3. Grandma’s Cats Are Trying to Kill Her

What a throwback! In this episode, “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner,” Lucas finds out that Grandma’s ex-lover is coming to dinner. What else is new? Family secrets, suspicion, and awkward meals.

4. The Inevitable Fight

Can you ever go home without experiencing a family fight? To get you prepared, here are the Top 10 Mismatched Movie Fights from WatchMojo.

5. Military Homecomings

You’ll stop bickering with your family and start sobbing when you see this video. I can’t get through surprise military homecomings without shedding a tear or 500.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
