Based on the Starbucks cups I'm seeing around town, it's officially Christmas time. It's time for peppermint mochas and beanies and snow everywhere (if you live in a place where it snows). If you're like me, you probably have holiday music on repeat this time of year and listen to it wherever you are. Because nothing makes you happier than songs about winter wonderlands, right?

If you need some new music for this holiday season, check out these suggestions!

1. "Christmas" by Michael Buble

I think I could listen to this album on repeat for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. His voice is the perfect thing on a cold December night (see what I did there?).

2. "That's Christmas to Me" by Pentatonix

This is the second Christmas album from Pentatonix, and it's my favorite. The song selection on this album is great, and their voices are truly one of a kind. Pentatonix is not a band to sleep on, trust me.

3. "Boogie Woogie Christmas" by the Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't want to jazz it up during the holidays? I have been listening to this album since I was a kid, and I've even skated to a few songs. Brian Setzer has an amazing style that lends itself well to spicing up your Christmas playlist.

4. "The Polar Express" Soundtrack

Honestly, "Believe" gives me so many feels during the holidays. I love this movie, and the soundtrack is just as good, if not better.

5. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio

A classic, of course, and a necessity. I love listening to this album when I'm decorating the house, or just reading a good book with some coffee. You have to listen to this at least twice or the ghost of Charles Schultz will haunt you all season long.

6. "Merry Christmas" by Mariah Carey

Another must-have for this Christmas. Everyone loves Mariah, and this album just makes you feel happy.

7. "Elvis' Christmas Album" by Elvis Presley

There are so many classics on this album that have to be listened to at least once a year. "Blue Christmas" is still one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

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.
