Being a college student, I don’t have great access to cable so I rely on Netflix (like a lot of college students) for my entertainment. When the holiday season rolls around, who doesn’t love to pop some candy-cane hot chocolate in the microwave and watch a good Christmas movie? Here’s a list of the best Christmas movies on Netflix:

"Christmas With the Kranks"

This is my favorite Christmas movie. It's based on John Grisham’s book "Skipping Christmas." Nora and Luther Krank decide to skip Christmas, not without some crazy Holiday antics -- and a happy ending!

"I’ll Be Home For Christmas"

Who doesn’t love a good Jonathan Taylor Thomas movie? This movie shows a college student’s trek home for the holidays. Did I mention Jonathan Taylor Thomas?

"12 Dates of Christmas"

I just happened to stumble upon this movie the other day, it’s a lighthearted Christmas movie about a girl who gets amnesia and falls in love with a guy she goes on a blind date with. Plenty of Christmas romance in this movie.

"Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas"

If this movie doesn’t remind you of watching Christmas movies at your grandparents’ house, I don’t know what will.

"A Christmas Kiss"

This is the classic Christmas story of “falls in love with her boss at the Christmas party” story. Cheesy, but good.

"Holiday Engagement"

Everyone knows when you go home for the holidays, the age-old question is, “Are you seeing anyone?” The protagonist of this story goes as far as trying to hire someone to play her boyfriend to bring home for the holidays. I’m guessing you can guess the ending.

DreamWorks Holiday Classics

Who doesn’t love a good animated movie every now and again? All of the DreamWorks characters come together in this collection of Christmas movies on Netflix.

"The Mistletones"

A Christmas movie meets musical. Two singers clash for a spot in the local Christmas singing group. Lots of drama and comedy in this holiday movie.

Now that you have a complete list of Christmas movies, all you need to is add the hot chocolate and cookies, and you have a few nights to get you through to Christmas break!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Perfect Weather

You'll get an effortless tan

You can exercise with a view

You don't have to worry about bug bites

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
