Now that finals are over and so is school you might be wondering what to do with all your free time. The answer is simple, turn on Netflix and watch these top three-holiday themed rom-coms.

Serendipity


Is the tale of two strangers meeting on Christmas in New York City. Jonathan (Joan Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) meet in in a department store trying to buy the same pair of gloves. As the story progresses the two have an inexplicably romantic night, even though each one is in a relationship. Sara tries to explain to Jonathan that fate has a big role in the decisions made in her life, including whether they’ll meet again. At the end of the night they both decide to place their contact information on a dollar bill and a book that they’ll put back out into the universe and if they find it then they will meet up again. It is years later when they are both set to marry different people that they scramble to find each other again. This heartwarming tale is about finding your way to your one true love no matter what.

While You Were Sleeping


Tells the story of a young transit worker named Lucy (Sandra Bullock) who becomes fed up with being lonely every year. On Christmas, she saves the life of a man (Peter Gallagher) she has had a crush on for a while, but doesn’t know anything about him. After being mugged the man falls onto the tracks of an oncoming train. Its then that Lucy jumps onto the tracks to save him. He falls into a comma and in the hospital, a nurse misinterprets her words, “I was going to marry him” and from that moment on she becomes entangled in this man’s life. She meets his family who adore her, but then she meets the man’s brother (Bill Pullman) who throughout the movie questions Lucy’s authenticity. But as he pries into who she is they both end up falling in love. It is then that Lucy must decide who she really loves.

Holiday Engagement


This is probably the only Hallmark movie I will ever endorse (But who knows) and while the story takes place during Thanksgiving its close enough to Christmas. Hillary burns (Bonnie Somerville) has never quite been able to satisfy her overbearing mother when it comes to finding the right guy. Her family is eager for her to get married, but alas she hasn’t been able to find the right guy, that is until now. She has a successful boyfriend and everything seems to be going great. That is until he breaks up with her. She then scrabbles to find a replacement for her fiancé as the holiday weekend approaches. After placing an ad online, she finds David (Jordan Bridges) an actor looking for a gig. Throughout the weekend David pretends to be Hillary’s fiancé for her family and along the way the lying becomes blurred with reality and the two soon find themselves falling for each other.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
