If you love country music and the holiday season, here are the 22 songs you need to add to your playlist now:

1. Home — Blake Sheltonfeaturing Michael Bublé

If you don't like Michael Bublé, you're lying to yourself.

2. This Christmas — Lady Antebellum

3. I'll Be Home For Christmas — Rascal Flatts

The melodies in this acapella number are as breathtaking as negative 10 degree weather.

4. Deck The Halls — Rascal Flatts

This typically upbeat banger takes a turn and slows down as the boys of Rascal Flatts jam it out.

5. All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan — (can you guess it?) Kenny Chesney

6. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas — Brett Eldredge

Let's be honest here, his entire Christmas album is fire.

7. Jingle Bell Rock — Blake Shelton featuring Miranda Lambert

Although these two aren't together anymore, they sure do make one heck of a vocal duo.

8. Merry Christmas Darling — Phil Vassar

9. Candy Cane Christmas — Darius Rucker

10. Winter Wonderland — Brad Paisley

This song adds the lovable country twang to one of your holiday favorites.

11. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas — Dan + Shay

12. Celebrate Me Home — Jennifer Nettles

13. It Must Be Christmas — Chris Young

14. The Christmas Song — Brett Eldredge

14. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch — Darius Rucker

15. Jingle Bells — Kenny Chesney

It's got a tropical island twist to it — are you surprised?

16. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town — Alan Jackson

17. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer — Kacey Musgraves

18. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) — Lady Antebellum

19. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas — Little Big Town

I know this is a repeat, but both versions are so different that it's okay.

20. Winter Wonderland — Faith Hill

Also a repeat, but also very different from good ol' Brad's version.

21. Up On The Houstop — George Strait

22. Baby, It's Cold Outside — Brett Eldredge featuring Meghan Trainor

Throw these country-spiced holiday songs into your mix of Christmas classics to jazz it up a bit. Or, just listen to these songs if you despise all other genres. There are tons of other country music holiday songs out there, but this list is guaranteed to give you a good start.

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.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
