Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! As the month of November comes, we are all suddenly surrounded by stores with holiday decorations, Christmas music on the radio, and all that good holiday jazz.

An all-time favorite Christmas album is Michael Buble's "Christmas." Who doesn't love a Canadian singer with a voice of an angel singing Christmas classics? We've had many artists make Christmas albums to put us into that holiday spirit. For example, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, and many more. On October 26 we got the Christmas album no one expected, from none other than John Legend.

A Legendary Christmas, not only gives us some of our favorite Christmas songs, but also some of his own new songs with legendary artists, like Stevie Wonder. The first song on the album, "What Christmas Means to Me," starts with a Christmassy vibe to it. Showing Legend's merry side with a mix of holiday spirit, which we rarely see. John Legend is known for his romantic songs that make us feel head over heels for someone, or can make us emotional (I cried for like two days straight after I heard "All of Me"). Here is a list of the rest of the songs and descriptions:

  • "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" starts softly with Legend's melodious voice soothing us. I definitely recommend that song for when you need to relax or you have a romantic date.
  • "Bring Me Love" has a happy melody about that one special person that we all want this Christmas. One person who brings us all the happiness in the world and we all we really want for Christmas is to spend it with them.
  • "By Christmas Eve" is a soothing romantic song promising your significant other that you'll be there for the celebration. He sings about doing whatever he can to make it to his lover.
  • "The Christmas Song" is by far my favorite. It combines all our favorite Christmas elements and the original song adopting a new vibe. A song to put on while decorating the tree and hanging up some lights. Great song while baking some Christmas treats.
  • "Christmas Time Is Here", the name the correct way to describe the song. A nice tune to put in the car with the windows down and the chilly air surrounding us. A reminder that
  • "Please Come Home For Christmas" will make you so happy. It has a kind of jazz tone and you definitely can feel the romance Christmas brings. Love in the air is present and people are ready to find their Christmas love.
  • "Silver Bells" might be an old song but he definitely mixes it up. Some modern beats put into a classic carol.

Those are my favorite songs of this wonderful album. John Legend has definitely surpassed and went above and beyond this Christmas. I can assure you that putting these songs on will make everyone get in that amazing Christmas spirit. After November 22nd get your Christmas playlists ready and put some Christmas tunes on!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
