Hallmark Movies Are The Best Movies, Don't Even

I've written very much about Christmas and various other holiday's that I love over the months that I have been here. I'm also well aware that the people in my family and most of the people that know me are probably incredibly annoyed that I keep writing about these things. I have a brand, people! A brand! And when in doubt, I can always think about something Christmas or holiday related to write about even when there is nothing else going on. So, please leave me alone, if you feel like you would like to attack me on the amount of Christmas related things I write about.

Now that I've gotten that one out, I am going to move into my conversation about Hallmark Channel movies. I love them. So much. I understand that they are slightly terrible and have the same three storylines that can happen at any times, but they're just nice to watch. They're all light and fluffy and happy and sometimes happy is good. They're all just cute. Why can I not like cute things? I deserve the cute things. The cute things are lovely, especially around Christmas when the happy things are necessary.

Why would I not want to watch a movie like Christmas At Graceland, which starts Kellie Pickler, is literally about Christmas at Graceland, the home of Elvis Pressley, and is premiering on November 17th at 8pm/7c on the Hallmark Channel? Or maybe a movie about either a Christmas wedding being planned, an inn in a small town during Christmas, or about something more serious than that because there are TWO HALLMARK CHANNELS. One is devoted to the fluffy ones that I love, and another one where there is more drama! Two channels, everyone. There is something for everybody.



Hallmark Movies are a quintessential part of the Christmas season, if not, there would not be 400 of them for me to watch and other people would not be watching them too. I am vindicated in my love of these movies. They make me happy. I know they are dumb, but they are nice and everyone ends up happy, and everyone ends up in love! Why can't I watch the happy Christmas movies without judgment from the masses?

It doesn't matter. I am going to watch all of these movies anyway, and I will enjoy them.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
