I'm The Girl That Hates Hallmark Christmas Movies And I'm Fine With Being Bitter About It

It's time to stop acting like we all love those cheesy, cliche films.

I have never once sat through an entire Hallmark Christmas movie. Not once. I would rather watch 'The 700 Club' than watch anything about a Christmas miracle or a cheesy holiday rom-com.

There is not a single Hallmark film that I can say I've looked forward to watching.

But it isn't just Hallmark movies either. It's almost every Christmas movie, with the exception of some like "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," "A Christmas Story," and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (Yes, I said it).

The newest holiday film that tanked, "Last Christmas," makes my stomach hurt. Just watching the trailers for the cheesiest and most cliche film possible is as frustrating to me as if I were to spill hot chocolate on my lap.

When was the last time there was an original, out-of-the-box idea for a Christmas film? 'Krampus,' the story of a weird scary Christmas demon that eats an entire family up? Or how about 'The Office Christmas Party,' which was actually pretty funny and didn't have some bullsh*t romance where the man moves back to his hometown to reunite with his high school sweetheart, and they spend their Christmas together and live happily ever after.

These Hallmark movies are literally the same movie with a different cast over and over again, and a "new holiday film" seems to come out every year, yet the plot is so damn predictable. It's just pathetic.

Very few Christmas movies are the exception of the typical holiday plot, like the "Home Alone" films, "Christmas with the Kranks," and other classics.

But so help me God if someone puts "A Miracle on 34th Street" on the TV. I'll lose my mind.

Am I anti-Christmas? No. Am I a hater? Maybe. Am I bothered by the constant, "Let's watch Hallmark movies and cuddle and drink hot chocolate" social media posts? Absolutely.

I just want people to see that these movies are lame and are not worth the hype. There are decent Christmas movies that have very different plots, but anything that's featured on the Hallmark channel is anything but original and well-thought-out.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
