It is that time of year where we watch countless Christmas movies. Mostly everyone (including me) watches "Elf". For those who have not seen "Elf", the whole storyline is about Buddy, who when he was a baby, stayed in an orphanage and accidentally goes into Santa's sack and ends up in the North Pole, where he is raised by elves.

Later, Santa gives him the opportunity to go to New York to find his birth father named Walter Hobbs. Walter Hobbs (who is on Santa's naughty list) had no idea that Buddy was even born. Throughout the movie, Buddy experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can, as well as him bringing back Christmas spirit in New York City.

Therefore, here are the reasons why "Elf" will always be the best Christmas movie:

1. Buddy is always so positive.


Just pure magic.

2. Buddy's songs are masterpieces.


Very quotable for any picture you want to post on social media!

3. This was the funniest line in the movie and you still are not sure why.



4. You still scream every time someone says that Santa is coming to town.


5. Buddy did the thing that every one of us wanted to do as a child (or even now).


6. This scene comes to mind when you see a sign that claims the "world's best ____________".

You resist the urge to run in and scream praise at them.


7. It taught us all the "real" four major food groups.


8. It taught us the best phone etiquette.



9. Also the best escalator technique.



10. Every time you watch this scene, you wonder how it actually tastes like.


11. You fully identify this fear as a child.


12. Lastly, it taught us the most important Christmas lesson there is.

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.

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.
