6 Movies You Should Watch During Break
Wheelchair Travel

Winter break is a perfect time to sit back, relax, and watch some movies with your family. Here are a few of my favorite movies that I enjoy watching around this time of year. If you aren't sure what to watch, try some of these!

1) The Christmas Carol


This Disney animation is largely faithful to the original story, and I loved the animation because it helps you remember the characters. A Christmas Carol is a classic and always a good choice due to its positive messages about personal responsibility for others and remembering the beauty of Christmas.

2) Elf

Elf is hilarious and heartwarming. It's definitely a good Christmas-themed movie, especially if you need something to cheer you up, but if you're not sure, make sure to watch it all the way through before deciding whether you like it or not!

3) Polar Express

This movie is one of my favorites because of its toe-tapping musical numbers and unexpected twists and turns. (Who would have thought that a journey to the North Pole would be so eventful)? Furthermore, it features Tom Hanks, and his acting skills never disappoint!

4) The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe

The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe follows the story of four english children who leave London during the Blitz of World War Two. While they believe they're traveling to a quiet country estate, they soon discover Narnia, a magical world where it is "always winter, but never Christmas." I loved the music from this movie. It has some funny moments and is perfect if you're looking for something to watch with the kids you're babysitting or a younger sibling.

5) Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables is a beloved fictional character, and watching this movie, it's not hard to see why. The film showcases her unique personality and follows her many adventures. This is a classic that will never grow old.

6) The Book Thief

I've saved the best for last! From the very beginning,The Book Thief is a memorable film. While many movies have been set in the World War Two era, few have told the story from the German point of view. Furthermore, this movie has memorable characters and incredible cinematography. The beginning shots of snowfall in the German woods almost made me feel as though I was there! And if you enjoy reading at all, you'll definitely identify with the main character, Liesel!

P.S. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the book! It's even better.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
