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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
