5. Underneath the Tree

One many may not know but definitely a must listen. Part of Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, Underneath the Tree embodies the joyful and cheer we all feel while singing at the top of our longs on a cold December's night.

4. All I Want For Christmas Is You

A complete and total classic. Mariah Carrey's All I Want for Christmas is You is THE Christmas song everyone knows. Not only the most popular but definitely one of the more romantic holiday melodies. A song to sing with friends, family, or in the shower, it's a classic that will never phase out.

3. Believe

Josh Groben's Believe made its debut in the now classic Polar Express. An absolute legendary Christmas film featuring Tom Hanks, the Polar Express (although a cartoon) conveys the magic that is Christmas and the extraordinary creation of a child's imagination. Believe is a song that reminds us all to have a little more faith in hope, magic, and the endless possibilities of life.

2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Judy Garland's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is another classic and most likely a more known one. First sang in "Meet Me in St. Louis," Judy Garland's unique and recognizable voice will live on just like her work. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas lives on in classic holiday films as well. It's a song of warmth, family, and pure goodness. With the lyrics "in a year our troubles will be far away," comforts the most problematic of people to know that every day is a new day and by next Christmas, whatever problems you're facing will be nonexistent.

1. O Holy Night

The ultimate Christmas classic and on the more religious side, O Holy Night is the essence of beauty as it tells the story of the true meaning of Christmas.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
