Christmas may look different this year, but we can all still appreciate the joy that is music. Christmas Carols make the winter that much better and can help us all get in the holiday spirit, despite the struggles that this year has brought everyone.

There are a ton of different Christmas Carols that are timeless classics, but thankfully, there are also different versions of each classic that changes with the times. I researched and collected all of them into one list to get the holiday season started off in modern style.

1. All I Want for Christmas Is You by Fifth Harmony

Mariah Carey's Christmas hit is timeless on its own, but the notes and melody of this rendition is perfect to add to anyone's updated Christmas playlist.

2. Baby It's Cold Outside by Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé

An adorable music video and a timeless and modern duet, what more could anybody ask for?

3. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Pentatonix

A great acapella rendition of a classic Christmas carol

4. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) by Michael Bublé

His Christmas album is my all-time favorite modern Christmas album, and this rendition truly makes me feel warm inside even on the coldest winter days.

5. Winter Wonderland / Here Comes Santa Claus by Snoop Dogg x Anna Kendrick

TikTok has been taking this song by storm and there even is a TikTok dance to this collaboration that we all needed.

6. Last Christmas by Ariana Grande

A more upbeat remix with lots of drums in this carol originally made famous by Wham!

7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Sam Smith

They truly have the sweetest voice to make any Christmas melody that much smoother.

8. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Justin Bieber

Fetus Justin Bieber covers Santa Claus is Coming to Town for the animated Christmas film, Arthur Christmas.

9. Jingle Bell Rock by Glee

The Glee Cast even has their own Christmas album with multiple modern Christmas classics.

10. Carol of the Bells by Lindsey Stirling

This electric violin cover definitely spices up this timeless Christmas classic.

11. Feliz Navidad by Kacey Musgraves

A country version of the classic Spanish Christmas carol that everyone can love.

12. Santa Baby by Summer Walker, Love Renaissance

An R&B modern version to this sexy Christmas Carol.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
