26 Songs You Need On Your Holiday Playlist

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Finals are over and the holiday season is in full swing! Over the next few days, college students everywhere will have gone from extreme stress to extreme joy. It's time to ask your parents to help pay some of your bills while you raid their pantry! What a time.

The holiday season allows us all to momentarily forget about all the hoopla (except it doesn't because Christmas is so commercialized now, but whatever) and remember the importance of family, giving, and eating comfort food. Sure, seeing family is great (until it's not). Of course, the joy you receive from giving is a completely rewarding and overwhelming experience! But the real reason to be home for the holidays is to stuff your face with food and jam out to your favorite renditions of Christmas classics. It's your one chance!

This time of year is great because it's the only time where you can eat like an absolute gluttonous pig while listening to Christmas music, with NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Honestly, it's my time to shine.

At any rate, the holiday season (or anything, for that matter) isn't half as great without the perfect playlist. No matter which holiday you choose to celebrate, close out the year with over an hour of festive jams.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
