12 Of The Most Overplayed Christmas Songs

c1.staticflickr.com

It's the most wonderful time of the year - except it isn't, not when the time of the year has already been going on since before Thanksgiving. Christmas used to be the most exciting day, maybe even more so than my birthday. The presents, waking up before dawn, watching "A Christmas Story" on the movie channels all day long. So when did that end? When did Christmas stop being something to look forward to, and instead just another day? Maybe when the songs began playing in November, rather than in December where they belonged. (Okay, so the music isn't entirely to blame for my lack of enthusiasm regarding Christmas, but it certainly isn't helping.)

Note: I do not know the original writers of these songs. But I'm sure you can look at the titles, and have some version of them play in your head immediately.

1. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Giphy

3. All I Want For Christmas Is You

4. Jingle Bells (One Horse Open Sleigh)

5. Joy To The World

6. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

7. Last Christmas

(This one in particular never fails to put a frown on my face.)

8. Santa Baby

9. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

10. Let It Snow

11. Deck The Halls

12. Jingle Bell Rock

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

how to adult

Twitter

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
