The 25 Days Of Christmas Jams
Ryan Loughlin

I've been in the Christmas spirit for MONTHS and now that Thanksgiving has passed it's time to crank those jams. I just like the warm and cozy feeling Christmas gives me and getting to see all the Christmas decor. I also love the first snowfall because there's something just so magical about it. Can you tell that I also watch Hallmark movies? *Que the eyerolls*

And of course, I just had to talk about the ultimate Christmas Jams. I've had my Spotify playlist ready to go since last Christmas. So I give you 25 Christmas songs to jam out to, one each day leading up to Christmas.

1. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Rufus Wainwright and Sharon Van Etten

I absolutely adore this cover. It's my number one favorite.

2. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

Honestly, who doesn't have this on their playlist? This is such a bop for the holidays.

3. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Michael Bublé

Michael Bublé's voice is just so smooth. I LOVE IT.

5. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

*sings this to my Ansel Elgort poster acting like we had a relationship*

6. "Hot Chocolate" by Tom Hanks

I remember in kindergarten when I came to school and they made the hallway look like the Polar express aka just setting chairs up along the walls and blasted this song while handed out cups of hot chocolate.

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

Absolutely love their covers and nothing beats a-cappella.

8. "One More Sleep" by Leona Lewis

This is such a bop. I'm addicted to the song.

9. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley

Elvis' smooth yet rock n' roll voice is just so beautiful.

10. "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee

This song reminds me of the scene from Home Alone where Kevin was putting broken ornaments around the tree. Such a diabolical kid.

11. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra

I will Frank Sinatra, I will.

P.S. I absolutely adore Frank Sinatra so much.

12. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Perry Como, The Fontana Sisters, Mitchell Aryes & His Orchestra

I always bust this jam out whenever it snows because snow makes Christmas even more festive. And it for some weird reason reminds me of walking into the Macy's in downtown Chicago. Not sure why, it just does.

13. "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms

This also reminds me of Home Alone.

P.S. Not sure my memory is right about this being used in the movie.

14. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Andy Williams

Dang right it's the most wonderful time of the year Andy Williams.

15. "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" by Burl Ives

The only song that mattered to me when I was a child. And the only one that I could easily remember the lyrics too.

16. "Sleigh Ride" by Andy Williams

I just love the bells being used in the background.

17. "A Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

It's always a holly jolly Christmas when you are obsessed with everything Christmas related.

18. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby, Ken Darby Singers, John Scott Trader & His Orchestra

I've been dreaming of a White Christmas for the past couple years now and it snows a week before but most of it ends up melting before Christmas day. *sad sigh*

19. "Run Rudolph Run" by Chuck Berry

All I can imagine in Rudolph go around in circles.

20. "The Christmas Song" by Brett Eldredge


Brett Eldredge is country but his voice and Christmas music equals a voice made for jazz.

21. "Deck The Hall" by Nat King Cole

*Sings loud throughout while watching my mom set Christmas up instead of helping her*

22. "Santa Baby" by Ariana Grande

As you can tell, I love pop Christmas covers because they are so lively.

23. "Jingle Bells" by Frank Sinatra


24. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" by John Denver

"AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR"

25. "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" by Mariah Carey

How could I forget this great song about Saint Nick?

As you countdown to Christmas just remember "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear" - Buddy the Elf.

Get your Christmas on folks.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
