Renewed Holiday Playlist

For all those tired of hearing the same holiday songs.

Pine trees are tied down to the roof of cars as they drive down the road,

Ornaments are dug out from the boxes and boxes of supplies,

Colorful festive candy lay on shelves upon shelves in the aisles,


We turn on the radio and what we hear,

The same Holiday music as last year.


I wait in anticipation for the unanimous decision that, "yes, you can play and listen to your holiday music, and we won't judge you anymore." While others might roll their eyes and groan saying, "here we go again, another round of repeated holiday music on the radio and grocery stores."

Last year I wrote a listicle titled the "Ultimate Holiday Playlist," which included popular songs, covers of hit songs, and some you haven't heard of. This time, I introduce you to the list of new songs that are yet to be overplayed on the radio and will put anyone in a holiday joyful mood. It is the holiday season as we can all agree.

1. Puppies are Forever- Sia


An important message that we seem to forget when it's Christmas. Puppies aren't just a gift that you can forget; they are part of the family.

2. Ho Ho Ho- Sia


The random sound effects in the song really brings the song to life and probably describes any crazy family gathering. You bring all the family members together for one night and expect the night go the way we all planned it would (which it almost never does).

3. You Make if Feel Like Christmas - Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton


Sometimes it's not the tree, or the shining lights that make it feel like Christmas, it's the person that we are with. The upbeat drum beat in the beginning will put anyone in the mood to start dancing or singing out loud.

4. Time to Fall in Love -Lindsey Stirling and Alex Gaskarth


The sweet sound from violin fits well with the rock style of Alex Gaskarth. It kind of reminds me of two people who are completely different who accidentally fall in love with each other.

5. My Gift Is You- Gwen Stefani

It's like the spin on the message from "All I Want for Christmas Is You," but with a slower tempo, but with the same message that "you" is all I need for Christmas.

6. Snowman- Sia


A calming song about spending time with our cold friend while we slow dance.

7. Coming Home to You - American Authors

This song is for all those long distance relationships, I hope your loved ones comes home to you for Christmas.

8. Christmas C'mon - Lindsey Stirling and Becky G


Song that describes everyone who is waiting for their "favorite holiday."


Click on the links that bring you to the songs, or listen to more songs from the albums of these artists. Everyone can now enjoy holiday music without the worrying about listening to the same songs over and over again with these new songs. Holiday music really makes it feel like Christmas, but the best person who said it was Buddy, the Elf.

"The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear." -Buddy the Elf, from the movie Elf.

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.
