Just a quaint little sampling of the songs that I torture my entire family with for the month of December because I can. Sorry, fam. But if you’re interested, here are my favorites. Great for casual holiday parties or themed baking extravaganzas. Play it for you dog, your nephew, play it while you’re alone stuffing your face with leftover sugar cookies. Whatever floats your boat.

Here's the Spotify link for your convenience :)

1. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" – Either Frank Sinatra or Judy Garland.

I just can’t choose a favorite. It’s like picking a favorite child.

2. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" – Frank Sinatra

Why does he have to write it three times? I don't know but I love it.

3. "The Christmas Song" – Nat King Cole

Honestly, have you ever roasted chestnuts on an open fire? Me either... sounds dangerous.

4. "Dance Of the Sugar Plum Fairy" – Pentatonix

A Capella makes everything more exciting.

5. "Linus and Lucy" – Vince Guaraldi Trio

*Whah Wah wah wah Wahnt wanh wah*

6. "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree" – Brenda Lee

Let's bring back sock hops.

7. "Sleigh Ride" – The Ronettes

The horse clomping in the beginning makes it.

8. "Underneath the Tree" – Kelly Clarkson

Don't judge me.

9. "Feliz Navidad" – Jose Feliciano

You should really make the effort to actually learn the lyrics. Please.

10. "Santa Clause is Comin’ to Town" – Bruce Springsteen

God bless the 80's and Springsteen blue jeans

11. "Silver Bells" – Bing Crosby, Carol Richards

Shout out to Grandma's favorite Christmas song

12. "Blue Christmas" – Elvis Presley

When you're feeling a little bluesy

13. "Auld Lang Syne" – Bing Crosby

Shout out to Grampa's favorite Holiday song.

14. "The 12 Days of Christmas" – Straight No Chaser

The only holiday song ft. a Toto excerpt

15. "It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" – Andy Williams

Is it? Is it really?

16. "White Christmas" – The Drifters, Clyde McPhatterson, Bill Pickney

Home Alone represent

17. "All I Want for Christmas is You" – Mariah Carey

HIT THOSE WHISTLE NOTES GIRL

18. "Little Saint Nick" – The Beach Boys

If you get to spend your Christmas on the beach. (... P.S. I hate you)

19. "Little Drummer Boy" - Pentatonix

Can't go wrong with PTX

20. "White Winter Hymnal" – Pentatonix

You'll never get this out of your head.

21. "Run Rudolf Run" – Chuck Berry

RUN RUDOLF RUN- @ Forrest Gump

22. "Christmas Wrapping" – The Waitresses

Hands down, most relatable Christmas song ever. Personally, this is the song my mom and I will jam out to on repeat for hours during the holiday season.

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.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
