Holiday Movies to Get You in the Christmas Spirit
homeunik.me

Coming down from the stress of finals can be exhausting. Snuggling up and bingeing on Christmas movies is the best way to stop thinking about school and get in the holiday spirit. Here is a list of some of my favorite Christmas movies in no particular order.

1. Home Alone

I'm not sure what number they are on anymore but the original Home Alone will always have a place on a list of great holiday movies.

2. The Nightmare Before Christmas

This movie is perfect for both the people who play Christmas music as soon as Halloween is over, and those who feel like Christmas is taking over way too soon.

3. A Christmas Carol

The new Disney remake of this holiday classic might be nightmare inducing, but this traditional story can melt the heart of any Scrooge.

4. The Year Without a Santa Claus

The Heat Miser and Snow Miser are the best part of this movie. Period.

5. The Santa Clause

Everyone puts on a couple pounds during the holidays but this is a bit extreme.

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I think that we can agree that no matter what level of holiday cheer we have, we've all felt like the Grinch at some point.

7. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Here's to the misfits.

8. Love Actually

Apparently not intended to be a holiday movie, Love Actually is one of the best holiday romances of all time.

9. Frosty the Snowman

Infinitely better than the song, this movie shows that even snowmen have warm hearts.

10. Elf

Elf is easily my favorite Christmas movie. Most likely because Buddy is my spirit animal as soon as Thanksgiving is over.

11. A Christmas Story

We have all been Ralphie in his bunny pajamas at one point.

12. It's a Wonderful Life

Not as up beat as the rest of the movies but definitely a Christmas classic.

13. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

All we want for Christmas is no animals in the tree.

14. Miracle on 34th Street

So many lessons about Christmas in one movie.

15. The Polar Express

If you don't sing along, you are seriously missing out.

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.
