A Pentatonix Christmas Album Review

Since Pentatonix first hit the musical scene on the show, The Sing Off, I have been a huge fan of their work. This acapella group has transformed not only just acapella music, but music in general. Their sound is so iconic and so unique to their group. The fact that they are able to create masterpieces of songs with only five voices astounds me every single time I listen to their music.

Previous to their newest album release, Pentatonix released their Christmas album, That's Christmas To Me, in 2014, and released a Deluxe Album with the same name in 2015. When fans, such as myself, heard that Pentatonix was releasing a new Christmas album in 2016, we were all wondering if their sound would be different, what songs they would produce and if this album would be better or worse than their first album.

Well, I am here to answer all of these questions for you! On October 21, 2016, Pentatonix released their newest Christmas Album, A Pentatonix Christmas. This album is so incredibly fantastic, it is hard to put into words. The groups sound as a whole is so much more united and together than it ever has been before. Their harmonies on songs and the arrangements of both classic and pop oriented Christmas songs are just exquisite.

In this album, as in every album or song Pentatonix produces, the group put their spin on classic Christmas and more uptempo pop Christmas selections. For example, for the song "White Christmas," the group starts the song off in the classical tone that the original is in. Then, they transform it into a jazzy, free-flowing selection! One of my favorite selections from this album is "Hallelujah", which is the single they also released a music video with. This song is so stripped down and I love how in this song and the album as a whole, all of the artists are featured in solo parts in an equal amount. Every single member of this group is so talented and their voices blend perfectly together.

So overall, would I recommend you buy or stream this album? ABSOLUTELY! This album will give you all the feels and get you into the Christmas spirit most importantly!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
