The Ultimate Christmas Playlist

Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Christmas enthusiast. My roommate and I have been planning where to put a Christmas tree since early October, the 25 Days of Christmas schedule is bookmarked on my computer, and I’ve been thinking of good Christmas presents for weeks. However, one of the most important parts of Christmas is the music itself (after all, take some advice from our friend Buddy the Elf).

With Christmas only a short couple of weeks away, a playlist of festive songs is essential to really get in the Christmas spirit. Here’s my list to make finals season just a little more merry and bright.

  1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey
  2. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan
  3. “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by Mariah Carey
  4. “Cold December Night” by Michael Bublé
  5. “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid
  6. “Do You Hear What I Hear” by Carrie Underwood
  7. “Extraordinary Merry Christmas” by Glee Cast
  8. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Frank Sinatra
  9. “Holly Jolly Christmas” by Michael Bublé
  10. “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by The Jackson 5
  11. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” by Kelly Clarkson
  12. “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas” by Michael Bublé
  13. “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms
  14. “Jingle Bells” by Frank Sinatra
  15. “Last Christmas” by Glee Cast
  16. “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” by Martina McBride
  17. “Merry Christmas Darling” by the Carpenters
  18. “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by *NSYNC
  19. “Mistletoe” by Justin Bieber
  20. “O Holy Night” by Martina McBride
  21. “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee
  22. “Santa Baby” by Ariana Grande
  23. “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by The Jackson 5
  24. “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole
  25. “Underneath the Tree” by Kelly Clarkson
  26. “What Christmas Means to Me” by Stevie Wonder
  27. “Where Are You Christmas” by Faith Hill
  28. “White Christmas” by Katy Perry

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
