God bless Christmas, I mean am I right? One of the best things about Christmas and the holiday season, other than the really cool thing about our Savior being born, is the Christmas music. Slow, fast, extra-festive, more emotional... all Christmas music is good music (except YOU Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, get out of here). But, what is the best part of Christmas music, you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's when your favorite celebrity covers it and makes your favorite song get 10x cooler. So, I decided to make a little playlist for you of some of the BEST celebrity covers of well-known Christmas songs. (These are all MUST HAVES for your holiday playlist!)

1. It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

Whoever's idea it was to have Michael Bublé be really into Christmas albums and specials deserves a pay raise because just YES.

Originally Written By: Meredith Willson

Best Celebrity Cover: Michael Bublé

2. Run Run Rudolph

I only recently just stumbled upon this cover and I do not regret it, oh my gosh seriously the best.

Written By: Johnny Marks and Marvin Brodie

Best Celebrity Cover: Kelly Clarkson

3. Happy Xmas (War is Over)

This is actually my favorite Christmas song of all time. Of course "All I Want For Christmas Is You" still holds a place in my heart, but... I don't know, there's just something about Maroon 5's cover of Happy Xmas (war is over) that just makes my heart happy.

Written By: John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Best Celebrity Cover: Maroon 5

4. Literally any song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I can't pick just one, they're all so good.

5. Do You Hear What I Hear?

But also really any Carrie Underwood Christmas song cover deserves to be on this list.

Written By: Noël Regney

Best Celebrity Cover: Carrie Underwood

6. Last Christmas

If you miss Taylor Swift as a country artist, you'll definitely love this. Singing this back in the day with her old country twang makes her cover even more unique.

Written By: George Michael

Best Celebrity Cover: Taylor Swift

7. Mary, Did You Know?

I REALLY HAVE NO WORDS, THIS IS JUST THE BEST AHHHHH IF I COULD SING WELL YOU BET I WOULD BE SINGING THIS SONG EVER YEAR AT MY CHURCH IF I COULD.

Written By: Mark Lowry

Best Celebrity Cover: Pentatonix

8. Baby, It's Cold Outside

This song is super creepy but I do enjoy their version of it.

Written By: Frank Loesser

Best Celebrity Cover: Lady Antebellum

9. Auld Lang Syne

I do not care if this one is technically a New Year's song, I'm keeping it in this category.

Written By: Robert Burns

Best Celebrity Cover: Mariah Carey

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

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
