5 Songs To Add To Your Christmas Playlist

If there's one thing I love, it's music. Even more so, I absolutely adore a good Christmas song. There's nothing that can get me in the spirit more than a song about everyone's favorite snowman or a nice little ballad that sings of fireplaces and opening presents on Christmas morning. I do have a few favorites I'd like to recommend, though.

1. "Carol of the Bells"

This song is SO UNDERRATED. I don't hear enough people talk about how crazy awesome this song is. While it isn't the most Christmas-y song out there, it's a fantastic piece of music. If the right choir or orchestra performs it, it sends chills up my spine. There's just something about the harmonies, the words, and the powerful melody that make me love this song so so much.

2. "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

Everyone loves this song and if you don't, you're lying. I'm not even big on Mariah Carey but damn, this song is amazing! It's just so much fun and happy, you can't help but dance along. Plus, you gotta love those high notes Mariah belts out!

3. "Tender Tennessee Christmas"

Alright, so maybe I'm bias here but I love this song so much. It makes me think of home when I hear it, and being sat around the tree opening gifts. It makes me think of family, of friends, or how much I truly love the holiday. It makes me think how Christmas wouldn't feel the same if I wasn't here. Sure we don't get a lot of snow but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

4. "Where Are You Christmas"

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is, without a doubt, my favorite Christmas movie. This song, sung by Faith Hill, is absolutely wonderful. It isn't particularly happy but the vocals on this song give it a top spot for me. This is another song that gives me chills when I listen to it. If you've never heard it, you seriously need to.

5. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays"

Man, remember when boybands dropped Christmas albums (One Direction, where you at?!). Those were the days. But seriously, this is actually an awesome Christmas song. Let Justin and JC sing to you this holiday season with their sultry tones and make you wish you were opening them this Christmas.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
