Top 15 Best Christmas Songs

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's finally time to get in the mood for everybody's favorite season: Christmas. With all the trees and eggnog and movie marathons, it's hard to forget that it is now the most wonderful time of the year. With all the traditions we all hold dear to our heart, there's never a day that goes by throughout the month of December where you don't hear a cliche Christmas tune. Here's a list of the 15 best Christmas songs that desperately need to be on your holiday playlist:

1. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

It's a classic, and you already know every word! Great for jamming out on those long road trips!

2. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber

There's nothing better than hearing Beiber's sweet voice singing his own take on his perfect Christmas.

3. "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Gene Autry

Iconic. You can't go a whole Christmas season without hearing this beautiful tune.

4. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley

The King himself knows how to bring in the season with his hearty version of this classic song.

5. "O Holy Night" by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood's voice singing such a beautiful and sacred Christmas song. Need I say more?

6. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

This is probably the only Christmas song that is socially acceptable to be played from January to November. It's not Christmas without this catchy melody.

7. "Little Drummer Boy" by Bob Seger

His unique raspy voice puts a charming spin on this sweet song.

8. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

Two words: Christmas. Staple. This song has to be played in every department store you enter throughout the season.

9. "Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives

This classic song can be found in "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and it just isn't Christmas until you hear Ives crooning this lovely tune.

10. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby

Go back in time with this beautiful song. It'll definitely get you in your holiday feels.

11. "Dominick the Donkey" by Lou Monte

This Italian song is extremely underrated. It is both the happiest and most strange Christmas song I've ever heard.

12. "Oklahoma Christmas" by Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire

Shelton's spin on the most classic Country Christmas song will take you all the way to Oklahoma to celebrate alongside him!

13. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft

'Nough said.

14. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra

The perfect song to top off your Christmas playlist!

15. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by NSYNC

A young Justin Timberlake singing a Christmas song just for you? Yes, please!

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.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
