Four Christmas Albums to Get You in the Holiday Spirit
Press Release Distribution

We're officially on the home stretch for Christmas! If you know anything about me, it's that I absolutely love anything and everything Christmas. I'm one of those people who would leave their Christmas tree up year round if I could, but sadly that's not acceptable in society for some reason. The one thing that I can do that's semi-acceptable is listen to Christmas music. I love putting together playlists and buying new Christmas CDs to jam to whenever I feel like it. Here are some of my favorite Christmas CDs and EPs to get you in the Christmas spirit. We're only five days away, after all!

1) A Pentatonix Christmas: Pentatonix

I love when Pentatonix puts new Christmas music out because it really captures the spirit of the holiday season. In the third installment of their wonderful Christmas CDs ("PTXmas" and "That's Christmas to Me" being its predecessor), "A Pentatonix Christmas" is a ton of fun. Plus, it's a perfect CD to give to your friends to share in the holiday magic.
Songs to Look for: "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays", "Coldest Winter", "The Christmas Sing-a-Long", and "O Come All Ye Faithful"

2) Christmas and Chill: Ariana Grande

I'll be honest: the first time I heard that this was going to be a thing, I didn't listen to it. I was hoping it would be covers of different Christmas songs with a few originals like the last Christmas EP was. However, after hearing a song from it the other day and then listening to the entire thing on repeat, I was mistaken. Ariana Grande's "Christmas and Chill" isn't for everyone, but it definitely delivers some bops that you'll be jamming to year round.
Songs to Look for: "Wit it This Christmas", "December", "Winter Things"

3) Holiday Wishes: Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel is the queen. End of story. She further proves that she's the queen of Christmas with this album. "Holiday Wishes" is packed with blissful covers of holiday favorites, including a few originals. Plus, there's a duet with the certified king of Christmas, Michael Bublè, so how can you compete with that?
Songs to Look for: "Baby, it's Cold Outside", "River", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", and "Holly Jolly Christmas"

4) Home for Christmas: *NSYNC

Is it really Christmas without *NSYNC's Christmas album? The answer is no. This CD is most remembered for their jam "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays", but gets no praise after that. However, pick it up and see that it's probably one of the most iconic Christmas albums of our time.
Songs to Look for: "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays", "O Holy Night", "Home for Christmas", and "The First Noel"

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
