There are a lot of great Christmas movies out there, but I would have to argue that the best is "Home Alone." Without a doubt, this movie takes the win, not only because Macaulay Culkin is still adorable, but because it still makes me laugh after the 100th time. There is something about the awesome pranks, the annoying family members, and the memorable one-liners that cannot compare to anything else. Here are all the things we have learned from this holiday classic:

1. Always give thanks before eating.

Too bad he doesn't even get to eat the delicious mac n' cheese.

2. Always double bag your groceries.

How could he not use two bags, come on!

3. Aftershave is a game-changer.

I wonder if guys think about this every time they use aftershave?

4. Make sure to set an extra alarm.

Still will never get over the fact that they forgot Kevin.

5. Old paint cans can actually come in handy.

You would think they would have just given up after this.

6. Magic is real.

Not exactly my idea of a Christmas miracle but still...

7. Always trust your gut.

Yup. You forgot your son.

8. Pizza is very valuable.

*shovels entire piece in mouth*

9. Always keep an excellent list of insults.

Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that.

10. Not everyone is as scary as they seem.

Well except the two crazy guys trying to rob your house...

11. Learn how to set up the ultimate pranks.

I wish I could pull off something at least half this cool.

12. Maybe tarantulas do have a purpose in this world.

To be honest I close my eyes during this part every time.

13. Learn how to count.

It's okay Buzz, at least your girlfriend is a babe...

14. If you’re gonna rob a house, wear some armor.

I will never understand how they made it through all those pranks without dying.

15. Always tip the delivery guy.

I wonder how many pizza guys have been given till the count of three to get their lousy, lying, four-flushing carcasses out a door because of this movie?

16. Being home alone can be totally awesome.

Well... maybe not on Christmas!

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.
