A Jazz-tastic Holiday Playlist

Now that November is over, it's time to break out the ugly sweaters and finally play your favorite holiday tunes that you been waiting for (or if you're one of those people who listens to holiday music outside of the season then getting more "acquainted"). So for someone who listens to jazz music and loves it, like a lot, I tend to enjoy and listen to jazz the most once the fall and winter seasons starts. Jazz, to me, becomes more alive and rich as it warms any individual, especially swing if looking for a good dance, in the cooler weather. So, now that it's December, I feel like it's time for me to turn on the good ole jazz albums and the Christmas classics I waited patiently to blast and get ready for a month of holiday cheer. For jazz listeners and non-jazz listeners alike I have decided to create a playlist by some of the jazz greats and classics to bring you into the holiday spirit and maybe hopefully learn to like and appreciate jazz. Enjoy!

There's a Spotify playlist at the bottom as an alternative to YouTube.

1. "Cold Winter Blues" - Shirley Scott


2. "The Christmas Song" - Nat King Cole


3. " Wintersong" - Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond


4. "Good Morning Christmas Blues" - Ella Fitzgerald


5. "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" - Frank Sinatra

6. "Winter Wonderland" - The Eddie Higgins Trio


7. "Christmas In New Orleans" - Louis Armstrong


8. "Jingle Bells" - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra


9. "Snowfall" - The Glenn Miller Orchestra and Tex Beneke


10. "Winter Moon" - Stan Getz


11. "Zat You, Santa Claus?" - Louis Armstrong


12. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Dexter Gordon Quartet

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
