Top 15 Christmas Songs

Christmas is right around the corner and everyone has their decorations up, they're baking holiday cookies, they're gift shopping, and they're listening to Christmas music 24/7. New Christmas songs are released each holiday season and new artists try every year to come out with a Christmas album. Here are a few of my top favorite Christmas songs in no particular order.

1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

This song, no matter who the artist is, is so beautiful and relaxing. You can never go wrong with this on your Christmas playlist this holiday season. Here's a wonderful version by Frank Sinatra.

2. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

This song, of course, is beautiful no matter who the artist is. But, Michael Buble has a beautiful voice for Christmas music, so he certainly gives us a gorgeous performance of it.

3. Christmas Eve - Justin Bieber

I may be biased but Justin Bieber has another voice that works beautifully with Christmas music. "Christmas Eve" was unfortunately not a single from this album and therefore is less popular than his hit "Mistletoe," but I still think it is by far his best Christmas Song!

4. All I Want For Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is the queen of Christmas music. Of course, she made the list. (Her version of this song she did with Justin Bieber is even better!)

5. Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney

This song is so upbeat and cheerful, it's exactly what Christmas is supposed to be!

6. White Christmas

An incredible peaceful Christmas song that everyone has to listen to at least once each holiday season! Maybe it resonates with all of us because it just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow! Here is Kelly Clarkson's version of the song!

7. It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Andy Williams with a Christmas classic, for sure!

8. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Songs from Christmas movie classics make for obvious Christmas music classics, as well! It's not the holidays unless you watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and listen to this song!

9. Believe - Josh Groban

"Believe" is such a beautiful song (for more reasons than just Josh Groban's beautiful voice)! It also encompasses everything Christmas is supposed to be about!

10. A Holly Holly Christmas

Another genuinely positive, upbeat Christmas song! This is one of those songs you find yourself singing under your breath during the season because it's just so fun.

11. Let it Snow

I I guarantee you find yourself singing this one during the season, as well! It has a nice Christmassy vibe that's a nice mixture of peaceful but still a little upbeat and fun!

12. Fa La La [a cappella] - Justin Bieber ft. Boyz II Men

I tried my best to not put Justin's entire "Under the Mistletoe" album on this list, so I settled for two songs. This song, the a cappella version especially, is so vocally beautiful and can put anyone in the Christmas spirit. And it's nothing but vocals!

13. Do You Hear What I Hear?

Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice for a beautiful and meaningful Christmas song!

14. The Christmas Song

This song makes me feel like I'm already curled up by the fire with a cozy blanket, hot chocolate, and a few gifts are being exchanged between family. Nat King Cole really puts us in the Christmas spirit!

15. Winter Wonderland

A song that surely makes us feel like the bad, snowy weather is a little bit merrier!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
