Top 10 Best Christmas Songs

Christmas is drawing near and neighborhood families have already begun hanging their lights. Thanksgiving has come to an end so it is time to crack open your old Christmas albums (or just open Spotify) and blast "Jingle Bells." I have compiled a list of my top 10 favorite Christmas songs to simplify your playlist making.

10.) "Jingle Bell Rock" - Bobby Helms || Mean Girls brought this song back, am I right? "Jingle Bell Rock" is perfect for decorating the Christmas tree or dancing to at a party!

9.) "Let It Snow" - Bing Crosby || This is one of two Bing songs on this list because there is no Christmas without Bing Crosby!

8.) "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" - Andy Williams || Everyone can belt out the lyrics to this one because it's a classic Christmas tune. Once the first flake of snow hits the ground, this song shows up on every radio station.

7.) "The Christmas Song" - Nat King Cole || Yet another classic. Light a fire, make some cocoa, turn this song up and let the nostalgia kick in.

6.) "The Christmas Shoes" - Newsong || Listen to this song and try not to cry--I dare you.

5.) "Blue Christmas" - Elvis Presley || This is another great song for decorating the tree! Make all your friends and family jealous by showing off your greatest Elvis impersonation.

4.) "I'll Be Home For Christmas" - Josh Groban || Josh Groban is one more Christmas staple. I love this version of the song because his voice is so smooth!

3.) "Santa Baby" - Eartha Kitt || Do not make the mistake of listening to the Madonna version because you will never get those minutes of your life back. Eartha is perfect and (in my opinion) has the best version of the song.

2.)"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - Michael Bublé || His entire Christmas is album is basically on repeat at all times between December 1st through December 25th.

1.) "White Christmas" - Bing Crosby || The other Bing song on this list. This is my absolute favorite song for the holiday and it's obvious why.

I wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
