Being home for the holidays can be stressful considering there is always somewhere to be, someone to buy a gift for and someone you want to be with. It seems that each year Christmas gets even more hectic than the last. But somehow the chaos of the holidays doesn't change the little moments of each holiday season that make it the best time of year.

The small moments during Christmas time are the ones we always remember, which is why they are so important. Especially when it comes to making memories with the people who mean the most to us. It doesn't matter where or how these fleeting moments of laughter and love happen. When they happen it fills our hearts, and makes the stress around us simply disappear.

This happened the other night to me. Instead of going out and doing something to post on my Instagram, my boyfriend and I stayed in. We started to watch 'The Office' Christmas episodes after I saw a tweet listing all the episodes captioned '...aka a cool date idea.' I was super excited to watch these episodes with my bf, and little did I know this 'cool date' was going to turn into such a fun night.

Not only are 'The Office' Christmas episodes some of funniest episodes of the series.. but watching them all in a row with my best friend was priceless. It was so nice to be able to kick back and still have so much fun. Although it was such a simple night, it's one that had so many laughs and memories built in it.

As we were cracking up episode after episode, I realized that this was going to be something I remembered for a long time. Being ourselves, together, without any interruptions was so nice. I think that's what this time of year is all about; simply being happy together.

Sure, going out and going through list of 'cool Christmas date ideas' sounds great. But you shouldn't have to go all around the earth to make memories with the person you care about most. This time of year is the perfect time to do nothing together and have a blast.

Stay away from the slippery roads and screaming children and just spend some quality time staying in; together. From Star Wars movie marathons to watching Christmas specials all day long, staying in with your significant other can be the best thing you do for your relationship. Staying in calls for a lot of cuddles, laughs and ordered in food...aka a cool date idea.

With that being said, 10/10 would recommend taking a step back this holiday season. Because if you're with the people who mean the most to you, I can guarantee your holidays will be filled with good times. Also, here's the list of 'The Office' Christmas episodes... you're welcome.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
