12 Christmas Songs That Don't Actually Suck

Even though Christmas music should be outlawed until after Thanksgiving, it's coming time to get in the holiday spirit. With this, it's important that we all appreciate the true bops of the season that are rarely (if ever) played on the radio. Traditional Christmas music is okay, but you haven't truly experienced Christmas until you properly appreciate these songs.

1. Carol of the Bells by Pentatonix

This is absolutely my favorite Christmas song ever and I definitely listened to it every single day on the bus ride to eighth grade. A year-round bop and truly a magical experience.

2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Michael Buble


This is a classic song with a lovely twist from Michael Buble. He's one of the few true voices of Christmas and should be celebrated as such.

3. Last Christmas by Taylor Swift

Old Taylor Swift is a legend and she put out a small Christmas album back in the day that still bops to this day. Appreciate our queen.

4. Merry Christmas by Happy Holidays, Issues

If you don't want to give up the pop-punk life for the holiday season, enjoy this bop to get the best of both worlds. It's not really a song for sitting around the fire and drinking hot chocolate, but it's still loosely considered Christmas music.

5. Last Christmas by Wham!

This is one of the few classic Christmas songs that I can tolerate. They play it on the radio quite frequently, but they still manage to keep it fresh.

6. That's Christmas To Me by Pentatonix

This is a sweet song to listen to by the fire in fuzzy socks and a sweater. It's one of Pentatonix's original Christmas songs and it's honestly so good.

7. Christmas Canon by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This is like the soundtrack for Christmas. It plays in the background of the Christmas experience.

8. Mary, Did You Know? by Pentatonix

This song really gets me going. It hits right in the feels and is just incredible.

9. Mistletoe by Justin Bieber

This is one of Justin Bieber's original Christmas songs and honestly, no one can even try to deny that it's a bop. She's a beauty and y'all know it.

10. Hallelujah by Pentatonix

This isn't really a Christmas song, but it's on Pentatonix's Christmas album, so it gets a notable mention. This song hits me hard every single time and it's the best cover I've ever and will ever hear of this song.

11. Drummer Boy by Justin Bieber

I'm not exactly a Belieber, but Justin Bieber legitimately did put out some Christmas bops on his albums.

12. O' Holy Night by Pentatonix

This is a quieter song, but Pentatonix spits nothing but Christmas delight.

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.
