Top 5 Holiday Commercials Of The Season

I usually say I tear up while watching holiday commercials, but never actually cry. Yes, I do feel my eyes get heavy, but never shed a tear. I found myself watching accounting YouTube videos and ended up watching countless holiday commercials, in search for the one that actually made my emotions soar. These five videos require a box of tissues and your best friend to snuggle with afterwards. They will warm your heart and get you into the holiday spirit.

1. John Lewis Christmas Advert 2015 #ManOnTheMoon

"This is the story of a young girl called Lily. Looking at the moon through her family telescope one night, she is amazed at what she finds, a man on the moon. Lily watches on as our man goes about his chores, all alone up there. She becomes determined to get something to the moon, to send him a message and show him that someone down here is thinking of him."

2. Extra Gum: The Story of Sarah & Juan #GiveExtragetextra

Leave it to a gum commercial to get me feeling romantic. I am officially in love with a fictional couple after just two minutes. "A girl. A guy. And a stick of gum. See their love story unwrap. "

3. Target Holiday Commercial 2015

This one is actual a mini-series with chapters! Anything with a dog immediately captures my heart. "Three kids and Bullseye discover a magical holiday world and set out on an epic quest to light a ridiculously giant tree."

4. Apple -- The Song

All time favorite commercial. It can be expected that Apple could create an entire storyline about someone's life and family relationships in under a minute and thirty seconds. "With a Mac, iPhone or iPad you have the power to create thoughtful, emotional gifts and memories that transcend time. It could be a movie, a homemade card or a song that brings two generations closer together."

This was their commercial last year. This year's commercial is just as lovely.

5. Coca-Cola and Walmart Holiday Commercial #makesomeonehappy

Leave it to two of the most well-known corporations to put together a well made production. "Here’s to getting what you really want for the holidays. #MakeSomeoneHappy."

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
