There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

The 10 Worst Christmas Songs of All Time

As soon the Thanksgiving day turkey carcass hits the trash, Christmas songs start playing on the radio. While some of them are bearable (All I Want For Christmas, I'm talking to you), there are some songs that make you want to rip your eardrums out. These are those songs:

1. Baby, It's Cold Outside by Neptune's Daughter

This song is the literal worst. Actual quote: "I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside) The answer is no." If you like this song, you probably don't understand consent.

2. Spin Me A Christmas by Aqua

Did you know the band that sung Barbie Girl had other songs? Well, they do, and they're horrible. Believe it or not, this came out in 2009.

3. Have a Cheeky Christmas by The Cheeky Girls

Believe it or not, this song is sort of catchy. It's also terrifying. And how do they make chopping wood look so easy? One of the great Cheeky Girls mysteries.

4. Christmas Conga by Cyndi Lauper

There's something incredibly annoying about this song. Maybe it's that Cyndi Lauper rhymes the words "bonga, bonga, bonga" with "conga."

5. Millenium Prayer by Cliff Richard

What a lazy excuse for a song—this song is just the Lord's Prayer recited over and over. Plagiarize much, Cliff?

6. Christmas Tree by Lady Gaga

This song, in true Lady Gaga fashion, is disturbing. There's something about it's lack of rhythm or meaning that is actually nauseating. Actual lyric: "My Christmas tree's delicious."

7. Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid (any year)

This song features a bunch of rich celebrities singing about bringing Christmastime to Africa in the most condescending way possible: by focusing on their fame and selling the song on iTunes. One Direction, Bono, and Ed Sheeran have no business telling us that "the greatest gift (Africans will) get this year is life / Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow / Do they know it's Christmastime at all?"

What a first world outlook. What a terrible song.

8. Christmas Time is Here by Alvin & The Chipmunks

As if these movies weren't the worst things on the planet, there had to be music in them, and they had to record a christmas song. DO NOT LISTEN TO IT. It will make your ears bleed.

9. Nuttin' For Christmas by Stan Freberg

This little brat's voice is too much to handle. It doesn't help that it ends with the kid helping an adult man rob his parents because he didn't get the Christmas presents. Sit through the entire 3:13 song and cartoon. I dare you.

10. Funky, Funky Christmas

Christmas should not be funky—end of story.


Enjoy this rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by DMX to cleanse your palette.

Merry Christmas!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
