10 Festive Jams To Put You In The Christmas Spirit

Now that the stress of finals and the chaos of the end of the semester has come to an end, it's finally time for Christmas. Break out the tree, string the lights, and throw on an ugly sweater because it's time to get festive. Sure baking gingerbread cookies and wrapping presents may put you in a Christmassy mood, there's nothing that can get you into the holiday spirit better than a few Christmas jams. So here's a list of what I think are the top 10 Christmas songs.

1. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Kelly Clarkson and Ronnie Dunn

This song's just a classic. And it makes me want to watch "Elf." It's impossible to listen to this and not want to sing along.

2. "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin' Stevens

3. "White Christmas" by Michael Buble

This is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. 10/10 would recommend.

4. 'Oh Santa!" by Mariah Carey

This song is SO fun to dance to! It's very upbeat and exciting! Definitely gets you ready for the holiday.

5. "Santa Baby" by Kylie Minogue

Another classic. Self explanatory.

6. "The 12 Days of Christmas" by Straight No Chaser

This isn't your ordinary version of the 12 days we all know so well. Straight No Chaser is an acapella group that makes this holiday classic into something even more fabulous while adding some comedy in the mix. If you haven't heard it yet, go listen to it NOW!

7. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Michael Buble

I love this song and Michael Buble way to much to not include it on the list.

8. "Santa Tell Me"' by Ariana Grande

The addition of this song onto the list may make me sound like a basic white girl, but its a darn good festive song.

9. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber

Another basic song, I know. But it's every girl's dream and a very catchy song.

10. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

Yes it's overplayed, but it wouldn't be Christmas without this song.

So grab some eggnog, sit back by the fireplace, and let these songs put you in a holly jolly mood.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
