23 Must Listen To Holiday Songs
Gather and Feast

When the holidays roll around, people gather around the warm fire to sing classical festive music, knock on their neighbors' doors to sing carols, or turn on Spotify to hear the most recent holiday remixes. If you were to walk into a college dorm like mine, you would hear so much festive music playing from our main music website, Spotify. So what holiday music are the college kids listening to? Of course, this varies depending on religion, cultural beliefs, and preferences in general. Well according to S4, my favorite dorm at Marist, these are the best hits that you can hear (in no particular order):

1. I'll Be Home For Christmas - She & Him

2. Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes


3. Mamacita, Donde Est Santa Claus - El Vez

4. Carol of the Bells - Pentatonix


5. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole


6. White Christmas - Bing Crosby



7. African Noel - Lauralton Hall



8. Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

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.

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.
