A Christmas Song For Every Situation This December

Don't worry, I got you.

There are lots of joys that come with the Christmas season. With looking at all the pretty light displays, decorating a tree, baking cookies, I mean the list could go on for a while. But one of the biggest joys, at least for me, is Christmas music. The main reason for this is that there is a Christmas song for every single mood you could possibly be in this holiday season.

Is seasonal depression hitting a little too hard? Phoebe Bridgers wrote "If We Make it Through December" just for you! And me, that is my go-to Christmas sad song, and it is honestly a little embarrassing. Did your boyfriend dump you on your front porch while the light-up snowman decoration was awkwardly sitting beside you? Do a dramatic performance of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" around your bedroom - that snowman decoration is cheering you on from outside! Are you missing the joy that you used to experience when you were a child opening gifts on Christmas morning? Go for a drive and listen to "Christmas Lights" by Coldplay! That song will bring out emotions in you that you didn't even know you could feel (as will any Coldplay song, let's be honest)! Need to pregame the family Christmas party? Turn on "Jingle Bell Rock" - no better way to soundtrack your poor choices than some jingle bells chiming! Helping your Grandma cook her famous holiday dessert? The one that the whole family either loves or PRETENDS to love? ANY Christmas song by Frank Sinatra will do the trick. Forget about your grandpa. Frank will always have a piece of your Grandma's heart.

To sum it all up, there will always be a Christmas song there for you, even when your family, or your Jake Gyllenhaal-esque boyfriend isn't it. Take comfort in this season! And please, belt "All I Want for Christmas is You" at least one time in your car, for me.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
