Must Watch Movies this Holiday Season
urban list

WELCOOOOOOOME! The Christmas season is quickly coming to an end, which means this is the last opportunity to watch Christmas movies and it is socially acceptable.

Enjoy!

1. "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (Cartoon only, obviously)

I am a firm believer that the better version of this movie is the cartoon. Nothing against Jim's grinch, but it's just a bit much. The cartoon is a cute, short, and sweet way to get into the holiday spirit. The songs are all so catchy, and it's good to be reminded every once in a while that Christmas isn't just about presents and decorations.

2. "Home Alone"

The antics of an 8-year-old Kevin after being left alone is actually one of my favorite things. The nice thing about this movie is the fact that it's not technically a Christmas movie, so you can enjoy it year round. While it may be geared towards kids, it's still enjoyable to watch some bad guys get beat in the face with a paint can and set on fire with a blow torch. 10/10, I will always recommend.

3. "The Holiday"

Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black are an award-winning quartet. These four circa 2006 will lead you through a funny and shocking holiday adventure with plenty of heart-warming and heart-wrenching surprises. It's not as cliche as many other holiday romances, but it's good for either a girls night in or date night. (Additional pos: LOOK AT JUDE'S DIMPLES)

4. "Miracle on 34th Street"

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit biased when it comes to loving this movie. After playing Susan in the stage adaptation, I fell in love with the story of not only this girl discovering the magic of Christmas, but her mother and many others. This movie has stood the test of time, and it's easy to see why. Whether you like holiday movies or not, this is a movie that should be on any cinephile's list.

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas


All you miserable, cartoon-hating, grinches cannot possibly tell me you don't like this movie. Arguably the best of the Charlie Brown movies, this family movie teaches so many lessons it's hard to find one to focus on. Linus and Charlie Brown remind us why we celebrate Christmas in the first place, all while Snoopy faces his foe, the Red Baron. Please, oh please, sit down for a half hour and enjoy... the true meaning of Christmas.

Honorable Mentions:

"A Muppets' Christmas Carol"


"A Christmas Belle"


Frosty the Snowman

"A Christmas Kiss"

"The Polar Express"

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer


Take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but, HEY, it's time to be festive!!

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:

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.
