Your Guide To The Perfect Christmas Workout Playlist
Stephen Bruce

Thanksgiving is finally upon us. And we are all looking forward for this holiday for more then the day of deserved love and indulgence... As soon as that dinner is over, it is officially time to switch to full on Xmas music mode. Here are some of the all-time best holiday tunes to jam out to while you work hard to balance all the treats and partying this season. Please indulge this next month in both the festivities AND in listening to holy holy holiday music.


To listen to all of these songs collectively, click here to check out my playlist on Spotify!

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Starting a list out with a heart wrenching favorite. You can't help getting pumped on this classic. (Also Fifth Harmony has a great version)


Sleigh Ride - Debbie Gibson


I promise the girl kills this rendition. This will be sure to get you giddy-ing up.


Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

A spicy Christmas hit! Don't even try and resist, I promise you will lose. Give in to the song and the workout!


Run Run Rudolph - Chuck Berry

A good pace for walk or light jog. Who doesn't love Rudolph?


Deck The Rooftop - Glee Cast

Glee always did to a great job with their mash ups, and this one is definitely one of their greatest and peppiest.


We Need A Little Christmas - Glee Cast

Sorry not sorry, Glee really did kill it with their Christmas album.


Last Christmas - Wham!

A little slow moving for a cardio song, but definitely needed to be included on this list. Maybe more of a stretching/core song. Who knows!


Underneath The Tree - Kelly Clarkson

Some old-school Kelly. Can't go wrong. A perfect for all the hopeless romantics.


Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

Dat beat doe. Gotta love the queen of pop... I MEAN THOSE RIFFS.


Take A Break Guys - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Who doesn't love a good ol' instrumental groove for their workout?!


Act II: Candy Cane - George Balanchine's The Nutcracker


The Nutcracker is so lit that it had to be included somewhere in this list. This delightful number will get you sprinting your tush off!


Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

If you are having a bit of a bitter holiday time, listen to this to sweat it all out. It'll connect with you but also give you some of that Christmas magic.


Text Me Merry Christmas - Straight No Chaser (feat. Kristen Bell)


A perfect one for us millennials. Actually, for everyone because this is 2016 and we are all about this digital life. BAH. But it sure is catchy, and it makes me giggle, so check it.



Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child - Mariah Carey

Why not come back to the reason for the season amirite? The soul just slays in this. I beg of you to wait because the last minute of this song will really get ya goin'.


A happy thanksgiving to all. Allow yourself to enjoy the day, and remember how pumped you will be to workout during the most wonderful time of the year with these tunes!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.
