Why Hallmark Christmas Movies Are Actually the Best
Hallmark Channel

Every year I secretly look forward to the cheesy Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. People may say they don't watch these Christmas movies because there is bad acting, or unrealistic story lines, but these movies are the best at sucking you in because only during Christmas time can these magical moments happen. Christmas is the special time of year when it feels like anything can happen, so why can't a person fall in love with someone they just met or get over someone who they have lost?

The winter snow that is always very prevalent in these movies brings a sparkle to the already magical air. This makes it seems like anything can happen in these winter wonderlands, but it also makes you see the magic in Christmas. Even if you think that these movies are unrealistic they give you the gift of joy. Joy that comes from Christmas miracles and love at first sight. If you are in a committed relationship then it reminds you of the love you share with your significant other and makes you just want to snuggle up next to a fire with hot cocoa. On the other hand, if you are single it shows you that love can come when you least expect it.

The best part about the Hallmark channel is that there is ALWAYS a Christmas movie on. Bored over Christmas break and don't know what to do with all of the free time you have all of a sudden? Sit down with a friend, family, or by yourself and binge watch happy Christmas movies! What is better on a cold winter day (or a not so hot winter day in Texas) than to watch a movie that brings you into the Christmas spirit?

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.

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.
