Five Movies to Watch During the Holidays

Hey, guys! So, since I made a list of the five must-see movies for Halloween, I thought it was only right to do one for Christmas as well. So, here is a list of the five movies you HAVE to see this year!

1. The Santa Clause

This movie from 1994, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys the Christmas holidays. It's a classic about how a father has to take over the role of Santa after Santa falls off of his roof. Plus, it has Tim Allen, so it has to be good! Did I mention that it's on Netflix now?

2. It's a Wonderful Life

Also a classic, It's a Wonderful Life from 1946 is a story about what life would have been like if the main character had never existed. Don't worry, the movie's not all sad; there are happy parts.

3. The Holiday

The Holiday is a movie from 2006, but for some reason, I hadn't seen it until last year. It is a chick flick, but it's really sweet and I absolutely adore this movie. I won't be able to go another Christmas without watching it. The amazing cast consists of Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law.

4. The Polar Express

So, when I looked up the year for this one, it made me feel SO old! (It's from 2004...it's twelve years old. WHAT?) But, this movie is still one of my favorites. The music, Tom Hanks, everything. Just. So. Good.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Okay, so this one definitely makes me feel old. How the Grinch Stole Christmas came out in 2000. I was only six years old! It does NOT feel like it's been that long since it came out. Well, anyway, this is a really good Christmas movie and it has Jim Carrey in it, so you know it has to be good.


These are only five movies out of a larger list of Christmas movies that are really good that I watch every year, but if you have Christmas movie recommendations, you can comment them below, because I've surely missed some! Happy Holidays!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
