13 Songs To Add To Your Holiday Playlist This Season

I think most of us can agree that it's never too early to crank up those Holiday tunes. And what's better than celebrating Thanksgiving with your family while listening to music that brings such holiday cheer?! Here's a round up of some classic holiday tracks you need on your playlist this season!

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

Shall we start with a holiday favorite? There's no way this song comes on and you don't jump on your feet to belt it out, even trying those super high notes we can't even hit in the shower.

2. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Glee Cast ft. Darren Criss and Chris Colfer

I have to admit that I love this version because if you were as into the show as I was, then the memory of these two finally getting together gets you every time.

3. "Mary, Did You Know" by Pentatonix

I swear this song gives me chills every time I hear it, and sometimes it's even made me tear up. You don't have to be religious to understand the heaviness of this track, but it definitely adds some weight if you are.

4. "Santa Clause Is Comin' To Town" by Bruce Springsteen

Who can forget Springsteen's Santa's coming to town rendition and how he told Clarance to practice real hard so Santa will bring him a new saxophone?

5. "The Christmas Shoes" by Newsong

This one is another tear-jerker and is more for being appreciative of the family you have during the holidays.

6. "Believe" by Josh Groban

If you're a fan of or have ever seen The Polar Express, then this is already on your list. If not, then you definitely should add it on there now!

7. "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano

Whether you know the lyrics or not, and let's face it, who doesn't know the lyrics nowadays, this is your jam! Always has and always will be.

8. "Last Christmas" by Wham!

Gotta have a heartbreak song on here somehow.

9. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" by Frank Sinatra

Come on. You thought I would leave this one out?

10. "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms

We all need a little jingle bell rock in our lives, don't we?

11. "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft

This isn't just on this list because my entire family lives and breathes How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

12. "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill

Again, totally not because we're movie obsessed about Mr. Grinch.

13. "Christmas Canon" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I think this one isn't as common but it definitely should be. The melody takes you on such a journey you can't help but get lost in the music.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
