Top Ten Christmas Movies
Enduring All Things

Christmas is coming up, folks! It's time to bundle up and take it easy for a while. There are so many Christmas movies that you can watch, but I've done my research and I've come up with the top ten Christmas movies you should watch this holiday season.

10. "Frosty the Snowman"

This classic cartoon from 1969 makes the list for its classic songs and its happy-go-lucky mood. It's pretty easy to fall into the holiday spirit with Frosty as your guide.

9. "The Year Without a Santa Claus"

This one's a personal favorite of mine. I remember watching it on a VCR when I was a kid. The Heat Miser and Snow Miser are some of my favorite characters of any movie, let alone Christmas ones. It's a great movie that everyone should see because it's a hidden gem amongst classic Christmas movies.

8. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Speaking of classics, here is your Charlie Brown holiday movie that we all love to watch. Join Charlie and the gang to celebrate Christmas this year.

7. "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer"

Since people call me Yukon Cornelius when I have a beard, I should mention this Christmas movie. It's another classic but still lives up today. I especially appreciate the banter between Yukon and the Abominable Monster. If you like elves, reindeer, and other cute animals here's one for you.

6. "A Christmas Story"

I think this movie grows on you as you get older. A lot of the jokes are meant for adults, or at least I never quite got them as a kid. It's certainly a great movie to watch, as it teaches you not to lick a frozen pole, firearm safety, and not to curse in front of your parents. I find new jokes I missed the year before. Give it a watch.

5. "Home Alone"

Do you like wacky robbers, oblivious adults, and a clever little kid? Me too. So sit back, relax, and watch the madness unfold.

4. "Die Hard"

You're damn right it's a Christmas movie. While you're feeling nice and cozy with those Christmas classics, here's one to shake things up. There's nothing like Bruce Willis killing Germans to put me into the holiday spirit.

3. "Elf"

You know why it's on this list. For some of you, you're wondering why it's not number one, but it's up against stiff competition so don't you worry.

2. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)"

Jim Carrey is a genius. This is my favorite Christmas movie comedy. Carrey is hilarious and you'll be laughing so hard you won't have to work off the turkey.

1. "It's A Wonderful Life"

Hands down, one of the best movies ever made. Watch this one if you watch any on this list. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you thankful and happy during this Christmas.

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.
