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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
