The Ultimate TV/Movie Guide for the Dawson Procrastinator
It’s the Most Wonderful Stressful Time of the Year
Yes, it is. It’s exams, and essays, and projects time, all due yesterday. And we all know what it means. It means endless hours of studying, interrupted by several hours of wallowing, of panic and anxiety attacks and of unproductive procrastination. Our expertise in procrastinating and panicking has taught us that there is nothing like a good movie or T.V show to sufficiently distract us and set us (eventually) back on the studying path. And so… we have compiled a true- and tried list of movies, TV shows and Holiday Specials, which range from romantic comedy to animated films. They’ve all been viewed multiple times, tested for efficiency in warding off the exam blues. They all share in common a Christmas/Holiday theme, because, exams or not, it is the most wonderful time of the year. Here’s looking at you, Christmas!
This is the list of greatest holiday must see films and we checked it at least twice.
