9 Songs You Should Be Listening To This Holiday Season
The Balance.com

If you're anything like me, you love Christmas music, but you get sick of listening to the same five songs over and over on the radio. Keeping this in mind, I went on a mission to find the best new Christmas songs. These songs are totally underrated, so give them a listen and feel free to add them to your well-loved Christmas playlist!


1. "Someday at Christmas" - Andra Day and Stevie Wonder

This song was featured in an Apple commercial last year, and ever since then, it has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. Andra's voice is amazing, making this song an instant classic.


2. "Christmas Sing-Along" - Pentatonix

If you haven't heard of Pentatonix, you've been missing out. Their unique acapella sound perfectly fits the holiday spirit. You cant help but "sing along" to this song, and the chorus is super catchy.


3. "Hoping For Snow" - The Vamps

What Christmas playlist is complete without a boy band send up ? This song is an updated Christmas love song reminiscent of "Last Christmas," which definitely isn't a bad thing. It's a cute little song to listen to as it gets colder and the first of the season comes!


4. "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

This is probably my favorite song on this list because it's honestly a total Christmas jam. It's classic Ariana -- super pop with just a hint of old-school soul. This is probably my favorite song on this list, so you should definitely give it a listen.


5. "All I Need Is Love" - CeeLo feat. Disney's The Muppets

This song has been stuck in my head for days, so it had to be included in this list. Honestly, I was skeptical about this song when I first heard it, but it really grew on me. It's so cute, and the Muppets sing their theme song throughout.


6. "One More Sleep" - Leona Lewis

This song brings back memories of being a kid and staying up all night to wait for santa. It channels more classic Christmas tunes, but still sounds fresh. It's such a cute song, perfect to listen to as the holidays creep closer.


7. "Fool's Holiday" - All Time Low

This song is geared toward the punk lover, but it pulls in classic Christmas elements that make its appeal universal. The lyrics are actually really cute, and you'll be humming the chorus for quite a while after you listen to it.


8. "Winter Song" - Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

This truly one of the most beautiful holiday songs. Sara and Ingrid can do no wrong, and this is by far the best cover I've heard of this song. It is so raw and really captures the more somber side of winter and the holiday season.


9. "Holiday in L.A." - Band of Merrymakers

This song sounds like something that would be in a Target commercial. It's definitely not a traditional carol, but it's fun to listen to. If you live somewhere that doesn't get too cold in December, this is the Christmas song you listen to with your windows rolled down in the car.

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.
