There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

The 10 Worst Christmas Songs of All Time

As soon the Thanksgiving day turkey carcass hits the trash, Christmas songs start playing on the radio. While some of them are bearable (All I Want For Christmas, I'm talking to you), there are some songs that make you want to rip your eardrums out. These are those songs:

1. Baby, It's Cold Outside by Neptune's Daughter

This song is the literal worst. Actual quote: "I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside) The answer is no." If you like this song, you probably don't understand consent.

2. Spin Me A Christmas by Aqua

Did you know the band that sung Barbie Girl had other songs? Well, they do, and they're horrible. Believe it or not, this came out in 2009.

3. Have a Cheeky Christmas by The Cheeky Girls

Believe it or not, this song is sort of catchy. It's also terrifying. And how do they make chopping wood look so easy? One of the great Cheeky Girls mysteries.

4. Christmas Conga by Cyndi Lauper

There's something incredibly annoying about this song. Maybe it's that Cyndi Lauper rhymes the words "bonga, bonga, bonga" with "conga."

5. Millenium Prayer by Cliff Richard

What a lazy excuse for a song—this song is just the Lord's Prayer recited over and over. Plagiarize much, Cliff?

6. Christmas Tree by Lady Gaga

This song, in true Lady Gaga fashion, is disturbing. There's something about it's lack of rhythm or meaning that is actually nauseating. Actual lyric: "My Christmas tree's delicious."

7. Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid (any year)

This song features a bunch of rich celebrities singing about bringing Christmastime to Africa in the most condescending way possible: by focusing on their fame and selling the song on iTunes. One Direction, Bono, and Ed Sheeran have no business telling us that "the greatest gift (Africans will) get this year is life / Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow / Do they know it's Christmastime at all?"

What a first world outlook. What a terrible song.

8. Christmas Time is Here by Alvin & The Chipmunks

As if these movies weren't the worst things on the planet, there had to be music in them, and they had to record a christmas song. DO NOT LISTEN TO IT. It will make your ears bleed.

9. Nuttin' For Christmas by Stan Freberg

This little brat's voice is too much to handle. It doesn't help that it ends with the kid helping an adult man rob his parents because he didn't get the Christmas presents. Sit through the entire 3:13 song and cartoon. I dare you.

10. Funky, Funky Christmas

Christmas should not be funky—end of story.


Enjoy this rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by DMX to cleanse your palette.

Merry Christmas!

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!
