If you're anything like me, you could use a little holiday cheer to brighten up your day during the pandemic.

During the holidays, nothing makes me happier than listening to some Christmas music. Of course there's the classic "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, or Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," but I have decided to make a list of some of my favorite Christmas songs that are a little more modern. I also left out "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey and "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber because everyone knows about those songs. If you find that you like any of the songs on this list, go ahead and add them on to your own Christmas playlist! Some will make you want to dance, some might make you tear up, but they will all be worth a listen, I promise!

1. "Underneath the Tree" - Kelly Clarkson

2. "Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

3. "Ribbons and Bows" - Kacey Musgraves

4. "Christmas Lights" - Coldplay

5. "Christmas Tree Farm" - Taylor Swift

6. "Ho Ho Hopefully" - The Maine

7. "Only At Christmas Time" - Sufjan Stevens

8. "Sleigh Ride" - fun.

9. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" - John Lennon

10. "Shake Up Christmas" - Train

11. "Blue Christmas" - The Lumineers

12. "A New York Christmas" - Rob Thomas

13. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - Mariah Carey

14. "I'll Be Home For Christmas" - Josh Groban

15. "Take Me Home For Christmas" - Dan + Shay

16. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" - *NSYNC

17. "Step Into Christmas" - Elton John

18. "Litmas" - Shelley FKA DRAM

19. "Like It's Christmas" - Jonas Brothers

20. "What Christmas Means to Me" - John Legend feat. Stevie Wonder

I hope these songs put you in the holiday spirit and I hope you all have a very happy holiday!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.
