Hello again! It is officially December now and the yearly reign of Christmas is beginning once again. So I've decided to write about five Christmas albums that are some of my favorites.

"White Christmas" by Bing Crosby is easily one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time and is one of my favorite albums. When I think of Bing Crosby I think of Christmas. To be honest, who wouldn't? Bing is by far one of the most known artists and actors when it comes to the theme of Christmas. Christmas classics such as "White Christmas", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Jingle Bells", and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" are all included on this album. Bing's masterpiece includes 12 covers of popular Christmas songs. You might not know who Bing Crosby is, but if you hear him sing then, I'm sure you've heard him before. Bing's voice is so elegant and smooth with mixing classic Christmas tunes; this album becomes an instant classic.

"Christmas" by Michael Bublé is the album that helped put Bublé on the map. This modern classic Christmas album features 16 songs and includes guest artists on a few of the songs. This record includes classics such as, "It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas", "Holly Jolly Christmas", "Santa Baby", and "Silent Night". Like Bing Crosby, most people know Bublé because of his Christmas music. Bublé shows off his smooth vocals in this album by singing Christmas tunes and we all thank him for that because songs such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" just makes you want to fall asleep in joy.

"The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole is recent collection of some Nat's most famous Christmas covers over the years. Nat took a different route and sung more classic Christmas carols and hymns. "Joy To the World", "The First Noel", and "O Holy Night" are all included on this album of Christmas classics by Nat King Cole. When it comes to Christmas music, it seems that most people refer to Nat as one of the most popular Christmas artists. Nat has such a unique dark toned yet smooth voice that flows oh so well and really helps showcase these classic tunes for the most wonderful time of the year.

"Elvis' Christmas Album" by Elvis Presley has 12 tunes including hits such as, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Here Comes Santa Claus", and a classic Elvis cover "Blue Christmas". Although Elvis is known as the King of Rock n Roll which he most surely is, but his Christmas records are by far some of the best I have ever heard. Elvis' classic baritone vocals that are so elegant and peaceful help set the tone for these holiday classics.

"A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra" by Frank Sinatra is most definitely one of my favorite Christmas albums of all time. This Christmas classic features 15 songs that help set the mood for this time of year. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and "White Christmas" are just a few of the tunes that Sinatra covers on this album. Thanks to Sinatra's fluidly elegant vocals; this record instantly becomes a hit because of perfect each tune has been put together and Sinatra's voice is just one of the greatest ever. Frank is by far my favorite artist and when Christmas time rolls around. I always know that I have him to listen to during the most wonderful time of the year.

Thanks for reading this week! I hope you all love Christmas music just as much as I do and I hope you'll start to listen to a few of these artists.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
