16 Songs You Need to Add to Your Christmas Playlists
Six Colors

I can honestly say that my 18 years of life has caused me to legitimately despise that one radio station that continuously plays the same classic Christmas carols all day, every day, in the same order. I mean the classics are great, do not get me wrong, but they're becoming a little played out. I have for you today, a new Christmas playlist for you. Some of those same classic songs are still on here, just some updated versions and a few originals. No matter what your preferred music genre is, I'm sure you'll find something you like here...

1. Last Christmas - Taylor Swift

For the country lovers out there, this first one is for you! Nothing like some 2007 Taylor Swift to start off the holidays!

2. Carol of the Bells - Crystallize

Man, these DJ's can make any song sound really cool now.

3. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays - Issues

For some this one might be a little too heavy for your liking, but a cover of a popular holiday song by the one & only *NSYNC is perfect to listen to when you need to get hyped for the holidays!

4. The Christmas Song - Justin Bieber featuring Usher

If you haven't listened to Justin Bieber's Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, you're missing out. Oh, those beautiful vocals.

5. Fool's Holiday - All Time Low

A little Christmas love song for you! I cannot lie, this personal favorite of mine. I mean you could never go wrong with some All Time Low.

6. Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker - Dirty Noize

I'm not even into EDM and I was even jamming to this. Dirty Noize brought an exciting spin to this Christmas classic!

7. Jingle Bell Rock - Rascal Flatts

I really cannot listen to this song without doing the Mean Girl's dance in my head, but this is a fun version for sure!

8. Baby, It's Cold Outside - Larry Lovestein Featuring Ariana Grande

Larry Lovestein (Mac Miller) and Ariana Grande released this gem four years ago! Thanks you guys!

9. Ex-Miss - New Found Glory

A pessimistic take on a Christmas time. If you're going through a Christmas time break up, I am very sorry. New Found Glory has been there.

10. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Extra Festive) - Mariah Carey

If you are not listening to the extra festive version, you're doing Christmas wrong.

11. Yule Shoot Your Eye Out - Fall Out Boy

I'd like to thank Fall Out Boy for this piece of art and Patrick Stump's parents for giving birth to him.

12. This Christmas - The Summer Set

This might be the most fun and upbeat song on this list. The Summer Set really killed this song!

13. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Michael Buble

Michael Buble's voice fits this song perfectly, and all of his Christmas music is surely phenomenal.

14. Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass - All Time Low

Another Christmas break up song! Whether you're in a happy relationship, single, in that awkward talking phase, or going through a break up I promise you this is a fun one to sing with friends as loud as possible!

15. Winter Wonderland/Don't Worry, Be Happy - Pentatonix featuring Tori Kelly

Aside from this being such a wonderful take on a classic song, Tori Kelly is in it too?!?! Everyone's voices mesh so delightfully!

16. Won't Be Home for Christmas - Blink-182

A very scrooge-inspired Christmas song, but I couldn't leave out Blink even if I tried.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
