There's some great Christmas music out there... but then there's this.

Top Ten Worst Christmas Songs
Amelia Beames

I love Christmas. And I love music. And one of the best parts of Christmas is—hands-down—the Christmas music. My suite mates love Bing Crosby. Josh Groban is one of my roommate's favorites. Mannheim Steamroller is my tradition. Of course, not all Christmas music is created equal. There's some pretty weird stuff out there... So this year, we, the Odyssey team here at FHU, came together and decided on the top ten all-time worst Christmas songs.

1. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

"You'd better watch out." Enough said.

2. "The Christmas Shoes"

Frankly, this song is SO DEPRESSING. Who wants to be depressed around Christmas?

3. "Silent Night"

Literally no one is quiet on Christmas. No one. It's Christmas.

4. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

We have to clarify this one... we only don't like version where kids are singing it. The Harry Connick Jr. version is actually pretty fabulous.

5. "Do You Hear What I Hear"

But really though. Have you ever taken a close look at these lyrics? The "night wind" is talking to a sheep, for crying out loud.

6. "Happy Birthday Jesus"

I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but I've got to call out the historical inaccuracies here. There's a lot of debate, but in general, scholars tend to agree that Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th. And even aside from that technicality, the song is kinda annoying anyway.

7. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Here's a really messed-up song to get you in the holiday mood! I mean, why was grandma out walking around all by herself on Christmas in the first place? And don't even get me started on the wig line.

8. "Santa Baby"

Isn't Santa that bearded old dude? No one thinks this is creepy? Really?

9. "Baby It's Cold Outside"

The lyrics are actually creepy, when you think about it. Girl, get yourself out of there, cold outside or not.

10. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

I'm scared to know there's a movie by the same title. I don't even want to know.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
