http://www.digitaltrends.com/music/two-radio-stations-are-playing-christmas-music-in-october/

Christmas is coming soon, and it's time to get into the holiday spirit. What better to way to make it feel like the holidays than to play a little Christmas music? Here are the top five Christmas songs that you can take with you wherever you go - holiday office parties, family get-togethers, gatherings on Christmas morning...The possibilities are endless with this quick Christmas playlist!

5. Crabs for Christmas - David Deboy

"Santa cried, 'Put him down right this instant. Now, my boy, what you want's not so odd. But there's no crabs 'til May, so we'll hop in my sleigh, and we'll fly to New England where I'll get you scrod."

A true Christmas classic apparently popular in the Baltimore area. Play this song at your Christmas dinner this year (no crabs necessary).

4. Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto - Snoop Doggy Dogg

"Santa Claus on the ceiling, Jack Frost chillin'. Pinch the Grinch for being a holiday villain."

The perfect song to spread some holiday cheer at any family gathering. Appropriate for all ages.

3. Ludacrismas - Ludacris

"And then maybe Santa Claus will come around my way so all the kids on my block can look up and say, 'hey.'"

Perhaps one of the most popular Christmas songs among millennials. Ludacris is appropriate for any occasion.

2. Silent Night - Matt Mulholland

*recorder sounds*

Ahhhh, the sweet sound of a recorder can always take us right back to elementary school. Relive your glory days with an enchanting take on a Christmas classic.

1. I Farted on Santa's Lap (Now Christmas is Gonna Stink For Me) - The Little Stinkers

"And so I'll always cherish that special moment when I realized even old Saint Nick rips one now and then."

What screams Christmas more than a choir of children singing about farting?

If this selection of beautiful holiday music doesn't get you into the holiday spirit, I don't know what will. Merry Christmas!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
