If you're anything like me, you could use a little holiday cheer to brighten up your day during the pandemic.

During the holidays, nothing makes me happier than listening to some Christmas music. Of course there's the classic "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, or Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," but I have decided to make a list of some of my favorite Christmas songs that are a little more modern. I also left out "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey and "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber because everyone knows about those songs. If you find that you like any of the songs on this list, go ahead and add them on to your own Christmas playlist! Some will make you want to dance, some might make you tear up, but they will all be worth a listen, I promise!

1. "Underneath the Tree" - Kelly Clarkson

2. "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

3. "Ribbons and Bows" - Kacey Musgraves

4. "Christmas Lights" - Coldplay

5. "Christmas Tree Farm" - Taylor Swift

6. "Ho Ho Hopefully" - The Maine

7. "Only At Christmas Time" - Sufjan Stevens

8. "Sleigh Ride" - fun.

9. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" - John Lennon

10. "Shake Up Christmas" - Train

11. "Blue Christmas" - The Lumineers

12. "A New York Christmas" - Rob Thomas

13. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - Mariah Carey

14. "I'll Be Home For Christmas" - Josh Groban

15. "Take Me Home For Christmas" - Dan + Shay

16. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" - *NSYNC

17. "Step Into Christmas" - Elton John

18. "Litmas" - Shelley FKA DRAM

19. "Like It's Christmas" - Jonas Brothers

20. "What Christmas Means to Me" - John Legend feat. Stevie Wonder

I hope these songs put you in the holiday spirit and I hope you all have a very happy holiday!

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
