15 Motivational Posters for Your Dorm That Aren’t Lame

Aug 11, 2015

Why does college decor so often veer in the direction of cheesy and motivational? You know, those posters depicting kitties “hanging in there” or the shot of the single red rubber duck going against the crowd? Not to worry. Transforming your dorm room into the interior design equivalent of an after-school special is NOT your only option. In fact, some of the newer designs feature typography that’s genuinely cool and will actually inspire you to power through those papers. Read on to peep 15 of our faves.

1. Ron Swanson Wisdom ($20): Because we could all use a little more Ron Swanson in our life. If there is one thing he knows, it’s how to get work done. Or not done.

2. Gold Foil Print ($25): Look at you, just winning at life. Here’s a shiny gold wall print to remind you just how awesome you are.

3. Focus Up ($42): Listen up, all. It’s time to buckle down and focus on the project. Keep in mind that some productivity research says you can only be productive for about two hours at a time. So focus, but focus in sprints.

4. Letters on Love ($26): Positivity only in your dorm room. Remind all your visitors and study partners that they can’t bring you down when they come visit.

5. Find Your Love ($20): If that project makes you feel like you’re banging your head against a wall, take a deep breath, gaze at these mountains and remind yourself you are doing what you love.

6. Letterpress Print Quote ($30): Simple, but powerful. The weight of these words will keep you in a positive state of mind all the way until after exams.

7. Killing It ($26): Worried about that test? You got this.

8. Be Brave ($24): College is fun, but it’s also a lot of work. Keep your spirits up with this pretty print featuring handwriting and pastel peaks.

9. Hustle ($17): It’s all about the hustle. And gold foil, of course.

10. Keep It Up ($29): Keep your chin up and trust that it’s all going to work out. Simple graphics make this poster motivational in the purest sense of the word.

11. Marble Motivation ($12): In today’s world, learning patience can be a true challenge. But it’s okay, because this marble print will stay oh-so stylish no matter how long it takes you.

12. Smart Risks ($16): Good risks, of course. Take an art class you’re not sure about, or join a club to meet new friends. College is a great time to take risks and expand your horizons.

13. Yes, You Are ($10): Surrounding yourself with positive messages will really drill the point home. And although the alarm before your 8am class may never be appreciated, waking up to this self-love note may make early rising just a little bit easier.

14. Definitely, Yes ($20): Graphic, geometric and positive? Yes, indeed. We love the zesty punch of orange and optimistic vibe of this one.

15. Make Lemonade ($24): Well, you got stuck with a teacher you can’t stand. Make the best of your situation and make lemonade out of that bummer class.

In July 2017, a source seemingly confirmed what many fans had been wondering for months: that Tom Holland and Zendaya had been dating. Considering the two other sets of Spider-Man leads (Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield) both dated, it felt like this was one relationship that was bound to happen.

"They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," the insider tells People. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

"They're both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up," says another insider. "They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together."

Tom Holland and Zendaya actually took to Twitter (now X) to tackle the rumors. "Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years!" Zendaya says, to which Tomreplies, "Does the press tour count[?]"

November 17, 2021 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Open Up About Their Relationship

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything. "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he says of their July 2 kiss. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway...We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

The London premiere of Dune 2 was very eventful.

"He's just naturally very good at that. Or as for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

August 31, 2024 — Zendaya And Tom Holland Match On A Day Date

Bero

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

October 31, 2024 — Tom Holland Reveals Googling Zendaya Eases His Anxiety

While appearing on an episode of Samah Dada’s On the Menu podcast, Tom Holland spoke about how protective he gets over Zendaya, which, if you ask me, is pretty clear after that viral video of her getting swarmed by paparazzi — and him physically getting in the middle.

“I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them],” he tells Samah. “So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing...I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'"

November 13, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Working With Tom Holland Is "Like Second Nature"

In Vanity Fair's new Hollywood 2025 issue, Zendaya opened up on what it's like to work with her partner, and reveals "it’s actually strangely comfortable."

"It’s like second nature, if anything," she says. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

I'm sure that was one heck of a chemistry read!

November 24, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Have A Cozy Date Night

Tom and Zendaya went out for a pint to wrap up the weekend, heading to Foxhole to sample Bero "in the wild," according to Tom himself (via Instagram stories). And the actor ended up sharing a super cute photo of Zendaya in a red top with a gold necklace, a menu, and her cell phone covered in a grippy phone mount that a lot of TikTokers use to attach their phones to the wall. Does this mean there's a backlog of Zendaya TikToks?!

One People sourcealso reports the couple was "very relaxed and very chatty together" at Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Boston during a Friday morning breakfast. Sweet!

December 2, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Are Reportedly Ready To Settle Down

We all know that Tom and Zendaya are homebodies, and it appears they're only getting cozier the farther they get into their relationship — especially as friends like Robert Pattinson start their own families! “As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on,” a source tells Life & Style. "If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward."

“For Tom’s part, he’s seen up close how settling down, getting serious and having kids has changed Rob,” they continue. “Tom wants that life for himself and Zendaya, sooner rather than later.”

If Tom and Zendaya really are planning on getting married, and Robert Pattinson ends up in the wedding, I'll cry! And I just know Zendaya's wedding dress is going to be THE look of the decade.

Mix And Match Art Styles

Think beyond the print and consider original artwork as part of your lasting art collection. Combining different art forms not only adds visual interest but also lets you explore unique textures, colors, and dimensions. Pair a thought-provoking painting with a whimsical sculpture to create a collection that sparks conversation. There’s creativity in building your art collection – have fun with it! The key is finding an element, perhaps a color palette or a theme, that ties them all together.

Set The Mood With Placement

Give your artwork the space it deserves to make it really shine. Landscape pieces in the dining room can create a serene vibe while bright and energetic artwork in a home office can inspire creativity. Let your art guide the mood and function of a room. Consider size, style and theme of the artwork when deciding where to display it too. Large, bold pieces can make an amazing focal point in a living room while smaller pieces grouped together make a great gallery wall. Singulart will create a collection based on your preferences to help you curate the perfect gallery wall too. Browse their curated picks too!

Play With Color + Texture

Consider your existing color scheme at home and choose art pieces that complement or contrast them. Bold, vibrant artwork can breathe new life into a neutral room, while textured pieces can add depth and playfulness to a minimal design. Want to give a piece you love the spotlight? Enhance the impact of your art with accent lights or natural light (just make sure to protect it as directed).

Rotate And Refresh

What’s fun about a personal art collection is that you can swap it in a new space for an instant refresh. Consider changing art with the seasons or moving art from one room to the next to give it more exposure in a high-traffic space.

Once you’ve begun to curate art pieces that resonate with you, it’s essential to take good care of your purchases so they’ll stand the test of time and continue to bring you joy.

Here are a few tips on how to preserve your art for a lifetime:

Avoid hanging artwork in direct sunlight or in a space with extreme fluctuations in temperature. Sunlight can cause fading overtime, so explore UV-filtering framing options and be mindful of how the light can change in your space throughout the year.
Keep a microfiber cloth or soft, clean brush on hand for routine dusting and cleaning of your art. Avoid any chemical cleaning solutions or water that could damage the work.
Research the art trends associated with your work and learn more about the creator behind the art so you can take pride in the pieces you’ve curated and feel super knowledgeable about them.

Treat your art with love and care, and let your imagination run wild to create a collection that is truly a reflection of you and your creativity!

Taylor Swift Already "Really Wants To Do" More Concerts After The Eras Tour.

The Eras Tour is the gift that keeps on giving. Taylor Swift has been on tour since March 2023, giving us surprise songs, friendship bracelet opportunities, and a plethora of celebrity guests, and we were hoping she'd extend her concert schedule even farther. I have personally been wondering if we’ll live in Eras Tour Land until we get TS12 (after all, there IS enough space on the merch for one more era) and Taylor herself just weighed in on the rumors.

Here's everything you need to know about the end of the Eras Tour — and when we'll see Taylor Swift on tour again.

Is the Eras tour going into 2025?

Chloe Williams/Brit + Co

It looks like we won't be getting a third summer of girlhood because Taylor Swift announced on June 13 that the Eras Tour will officially end in December 2024.

"This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December," Taylor said before her 10-minute performance of "All Too Well" (via USA Today). "This tour has really become my entire life, it's taken over everything, like I think I once had hobbies. All I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear."

"You have done so much to be with us," she continues. "You've made plans so far in advance. You planned what you were going to wear. You memorized lyrics. You got yourself here. You figured out parking. You figured out transportation, and I want spend the 100th show just thinking about that and living in that moment and being here with you, and just know I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you put in to be with us when this show reaches triple digits in shows. So thank you!"

Will Taylor Swift ever tour again?

Haley Sprankle/Brit + Co

But good news for concert lovers! Taylor is reportedly already ready to do a new concert tour. “She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again,” a source tells Us Weekly. “She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her." But, "things can change. A lot of it hinges on what happens over the next year with Travis. She’s told her team to give her one year to see how things go in her personal life.”

I'm always down to go to a new Taylor Swift concert!

What cities is Taylor Swift bringing the Eras Tour to?

Haley Sprankle/Brit + Co

I'd love to see her visit Charlotte, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and all the other cities she hasn't visited yet! Maybe on the next tour :').

Is The Eras Tour ending with TS12?

Taylor Swift/UMG

My personal theory is that Taylor Swift might just announce TS12 this weekend when the tour ends. The Tortured Poets Department and her supposed upcoming album seem to be part of a countdown, and since there's space on the Eras Tour merch for one more era after TTPD, I feel like we could get ANOTHER new album and set before Taylor's tour ends.

Which Christmas Movie Should You Watch Next, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

With so many new Christmas movies piling up left and right, our watch list is getting longer and longer every year. If you're having decision fatigue, just know: you're not alone! Thankfully, we can use the stars to guide us when we're feeling overwhelmed — even when it comes to what we queue up on our TVs next! So instead of letting your Christmas watch list (that's honestly longer than Santa's naughty and nice list) get you dow, here's which Christmas movie you should put on right now, based on your zodiac sign!

Scroll down to find out which Christmas movie you should watch, based on your zodiac sign!

Twentieth Century Fox | Freevee

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Die Hard

Okay, starting this list off controversially (but strong), Aries you should definitely watch Die Hard. I'm almost positive you've been headstrong enough to tell a friend (or two) that this IS a Christmas movie, actually. And TBH, I think you're right! Although it may be a little intense for the Rudolph-loving, Frosty-watching crowd, you know what it's really all about: Bruce Willis straight up saving Christmas.

EXmas

You can't help that you're charming, Aries. Your fiery personality just sticks, lighting up the room around you — even when that room is full of your ex-boyfriend's family. Oh, and when it comes to a challenge? Yeah, you never turn those down. Throw this on for a good, holiday-filled laugh...and that little bit of heart that you totally love, too.

Twentieth Century Fox | Paramount Pictures

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Home Alone

Let's face it: being home alone is honestly your dream come true. You know it, I know it, the stars know it. And while you could probably do without two goons skulking around your place, you always find a way to make your house a home, no matter the situation. If you're already picturing eating pizza in a limo, drinking Coke out of a wine glass...I'm honestly not surprised. Live that luxe life, sweet Taurus.

Last Holiday

Queen Latifah's Last Holiday is quite honestly one of the most Taurus movies of all time, TBH. Georgia Bird does everything she can to curate her life, saving money, staying home, and keeping to herself as much as possible. So when she finds out she's only got a short amount of time to live? She decides it's time to expand beyond the four walls of her home and explore life — and the world — around her. I know you love to curate your life, working hard to make it as comfortable and wonderful as possible at home, but this is a good reminder that there's so much more out there for you, dear Taurus. Chase after it!

Paramount Pictures | Netflix

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

White Christmas

The duality of Gemini is definitely best summed up with the classic Christmas movie, White Christmas. While I obviously don't subscribe to the belief that you have two personalities, two faces, or any of those other Gemini stereotypes, I do think you have the ability to juggle the many truths that life has to offer. So it makes sense that you could relate to the two couples in this film, working their butts off to save the Vermont inn (I see your work ethic, babe!) and trying to understand their feelings for one another.

Our Little Secret

Remember what I said about duality? Well this plays right into that! When Avery and Logan — former fiancés — show up to Christmas celebrations, they realize they're new significant others are actually siblings...yikes! While they attempt to hide this from the family, obviously hilarity ensues, making them question how they even ended up in this scenario in the first place. While I don't think you want to keep secrets, I do think your ability to hold space for more than one truth could definitely help you out in this scenario — but your true heart would win out in the end, just like this movie!

Universal Pictures

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

The Holiday

You've got a lotta heart, Cancer, and so does this iconic Christmas movie. The hopeless romantic in you would already love the idea of a house swap (how dreamy!) between a big U.S. city and the quaint English countryside — and when you add in the dual romances...this is just too perfect for you! You'll especially resonate with Jack Black and Kate Winslet's characters and all their absolutely adorableness.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Empathy is the name of your game, and I just know you'd understand that there's more to the Grinch than meets the eye. While he stomps around, loathing everything, you'd be able to comprehend all that loathing is the need for more loving. So when his heart grows three sizes bigger? Yeah, yours will swell too!

New Line Cinema | Netflix

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Elf

You've got a big personality, and you know it, Leo. You can't help bringing your lively energy to every space you occupy — much like Buddy! Your larger-than-life, excitable — and at times, campy — personality matches the vibe of this movie perfectly. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll consider eating spaghetti and syrup just for the gag. All around, Elf is great watch for you this holiday season!

Falling For Christmas

If you resonated with London Tipton as a little girl, this one's for you. I mean, you exude heiress energy (whether you actually are or not), so you'd definitely understand Sierra Belmont's plight. What's so wrong for wanting the finer things in life?! In all seriousness, while you could definitely relate to her princess behavior (in a much more down-to-earth, likable way of course), I also know you find joy wherever you're at — just like Sierra does after losing her memory. This cheesy watch is definitely a must for you!

Netflix | Columbia Pictures

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Love Hard

You take life pretty seriously, so it's no surprise you would take dating — and finding your 'perfect match' — with the same amount of severity. It's not to say that you don't know how to be fun and frivolous when you want to be, but you just can't help but attempt to approach life's bigger milestones with a gravity that others don't. So, like Natalie, I know you'd be shocked to find out you've been catfished...but still wonder what could be, and if they're really your other half.

Little Women (1994)

Your determination and fervor simply are Jo March, my Virgo darling. Much like our heroine, you see the world as conquerable, taking every challenge you can and totally overcoming any obstacles that dare get in your way. And while this may not exactly be a Christmas movie, I know the March girls' Christmas celebration will totally get you in the spirit!

Walt Disney Pictures | Apple TV+

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Eloise at Christmastime

You are all pretty and pink and bows and beauty, little Libra. I know you love to make everything look (and feel) perfect around you, so Eloise at Christmastime is the adorable aesthetic watch you could ever want. You get the stunning Plaza Hotel, New York City, and Eloise's eclectic princess behavior. And with Julie Andrews, Gavin Creel, Christine Baranski — what more could you ask for?!

A Charlie Brown Christmas

With aesthetics in mind, nothing is more aesthetic than this Christmas classic. I know you're totally loving the Snoopy renaissance right now, with all its cutesy glory, so A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely the watch for you. It's a total mood setter, perfect for your next cozy night in, or to have on in the background of your impeccable holiday party I'm sure you're throwing. And that nostalgic, dreamy music? Yeah, this is totally you.

Walt Disney Pictures | Netflix

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

The Santa Clause

You've got a rich interior life, dear Scorpio, much like that of Scott Calvin — AKA Santa Claus. You like to keep things close to the chest, so if you ended up accidentally becoming Santa Claus, I just know you'd handle that precious secret like a pro. And though this definitely speaks to your ability to compartmentalize, I don't wanna discredit your soft, sweet core either. The way Scott, his son, and the whole crew find joy in the chaos that became Christmas will definitely warm your very guarded heart.

Holidate

It can be hard to let people in, so when it comes to cuffing season — and the holidays that follow — it tends to be really frustrating for you when you have to dodge all your family's pesky personal questions. So I am suuuuure you'll understand where Sloane and Jackson are coming from when they decide to pretend they're dating one year. Except the thing with committing to the bit? You might get a little swept up in it all. Definitely watch this one for a cheesy Christmas romance — and a Kristin Chenoweth moment!

Revolution Studios Distribution Company | New Line Cinema

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

Christmas With The Kranks

My jet-setting Sagittarius, you are incredibly likely to pull a Kranks and 'cancel' Christmas for a nice, tropical vacation — assuming you haven't already! You can't help it, though. You dread monotony, you crave adventure, and you love to be a little (a lot) impulsive. While it may not be wise to totally cancel Christmas on your loved ones this year, why not watch the Kranks attempt it instead?

Four Christmases

I know you don't only travel, Sagittarius, but there's no denying the urge to buy a plane ticket is strong with you. Like Kate and Brad, I could totally see you having to settle for your family's many, many different Christmas celebrations after your travel plans don't pan out. But being home for the holidays doesn't have to be all bad — sometimes you've got to dig deep and understand your roots so you can better soar, sweet Sag. Instead of flying off and away from it all, sit tight and lean into your present surroundings for the greatest gift of all.

Walt Disney Pictures | Hulu

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

The Muppet Christmas Carol

Here's the thing, if anyone could earnestly perform with a barrage of muppets, never once skimping on the serious nature of their craft á la Michael Caine, it's you Capricorn. Your work ethic is quite literally unmatched, and while that wouldn't make you an IRL Scrooge, it could make you play one like a champ — even with Gonzo going crazy in the corner. Pop this on for a sweet, silly, sentimental Christmas movie!

Happiest Season

When you've got a plan, you're gonna put it in action to the best of your abilities. But when outside factors totally throw off your groove? Well, that's not your favorite thing in the world, Capricorn. Not that you don't know how to pivot when you need to, but some obstacles are tougher to hurdle than others — like when you plan on proposing to your girlfriend...only to find out she hasn't officially come out as queer to her family. Watch Happiest Season to understand how you can set aside your plans to meet your loved ones where they're at, and ultimately find joy somewhere in the middle.

Walt Disney Pictures | NBC

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

The Nightmare Before Christmas

You're not like other girls, Aquarius...and that's more than okay! Instead of watching something cute and cozy, opt for the edge of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sure, it could technically be a Halloween movie, but there's Santa, presents, and a sweet message to take away at the end of the day — and that's more than enough for you!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

If you do wanna opt for a classic, then Rudolph is the way to go. Rudolph is a wave-maker, looking to disrupt the status quo and find a better world for everyone. Instead of being stuck in what makes him different, Rudolph uses his unique gifts to light up the world around him — literally — just like you!

Universal Pictures | Warner Bros.

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

Love, Actually

You're a dreamer, dear Pisces, and this holiday flick will stir up your inner romantic. While each person navigates their own love lives throughout the movie, you'll fantasize about your own — whether you're currently in a relationship, or hoping to be in one. I mean is there a better quote to represent you? "It seems to me that love is everywhere. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." Sobs.

Polar Express

And speaking of dreaming, I know you were curious about Santa as a little one. You wonder about the world around you, and would totally find yourself in a similar scenario where you're transported on a larger-than-life journey to find the answers about the big man from the North Pole. In the end, was it all a dream, or was it real? Regardless, you know what really matters: that you keep your heart open and just believe.
