11 Songs that Will Get You Pumped for Christmas

I don't know what it is about this year, but no one seems to really be in the Christmas spirit. I don't know if it's the extremely and disappointingly warm temperatures, the remorse and recuperation from finals week, or just the fact that we're getting older. Whatever the case may be, I don't like it. Christmas time only happens once a year, and I do not want anyone to feel like this Christmas season was a waste.

So, I have compiled a list of Christmas songs that is guaranteed to make you feel like a kid at Christmas again. If you start to feel like a Scrooge, just add these sings into a playlist and listen. You'll immediately want to grab your hot chocolate and Christmas jammies. Enjoy!

1. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

Seriously no other song gets me as hyped for Christmas as this one. This is also the only Christmas song that makes me crave queso instead of hot chocolate, but I'm totally OK with that.

2. "Last Christmas" by Ariana Grande

OK Ariana, I see you being all merry and bright. I appreciate it.

3. "Mary Did You Know?" by Pentatonix

First of all, it is so mind-blowing that there are no instruments in this song. Second, this song will make you feel all of the Christmas feels.

4. "Drummer Boy" by Justin Bieber ft. Busta Rhymes

I'm not even mad that the Biebs took this classic Christmas carol and added some raps into it. It has some pretty nice beats that I'm sure the real little drummer boy would have added if it were a thing.

5. "Do You Hear What I Hear" by Carrie Underwood

The song of angels sung by a woman with the voice of an angel.

6. "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by Rascal Flatts

The harmonies in this song speak to me, and I know they will speak to you too.

7. "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" by the Glee Cast

I'm a total Gleek and I would not lie to you. Glee has some of the best and cheery Christmas music and this song is possibly the cheeriest.

8. "Where Are You Christmas?" by Faith Hill

This song will steal your heart just like the Grinch stole Christmas.

9. "When Christmas Comes to Town" from The Polar Express

This song will remind you of a better time. A time when you were a child and had no worries or sadness during this time of year.

10. "Carol of the Bells/ Sing We Now of Christmas" by Barlow Girl

This is possibly one of the best Christmas mash-ups in the history of Christmas mash-ups.

11. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by 'N Sync

A classic. This will unleash your inner 90's teenage girl and I don't feel like that's a bad thing.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
