We're coming up on the most wonderful time of year, everyone. The holidays will certainly be looking a bit different for everyone this year, but that doesn't mean that you can't get into the holiday spirit and enjoy all of the wonderful things that Christmas has to offer. This year I've been listening to Christmas music more than years prior, probably in an attempt to escape the stress of finals if I'm being completely honest. But in addition to listening to the old reliable holiday Spotify playlists and designated radio stations, I've been on a mission to find the best Christmas albums fit for any mood I may find myself in. Here are a few of my favorites that never fail to get me into the holiday spirit.

Christmas - Michael Bublé

I'm sure we can all agree that this album is one of the best out there. With so many classic all-time favorites on the tracklist, Michael Bublé truly serenades us and brings the holiday spirit with every song.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
