Your New Holiday Playlist

Deal with it.

Your New Holiday Playlist
PC: Mira Bozhko

Just a quaint little sampling of the songs that I torture my entire family with for the month of December because I can. Sorry, fam. But if you’re interested, here are my favorites. Great for casual holiday parties or themed baking extravaganzas. Play it for you dog, your nephew, play it while you’re alone stuffing your face with leftover sugar cookies. Whatever floats your boat.

Here's the Spotify link for your convenience :)

1. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" – Either Frank Sinatra or Judy Garland.

I just can’t choose a favorite. It’s like picking a favorite child.

2. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" – Frank Sinatra

Why does he have to write it three times? I don't know but I love it.

3. "The Christmas Song" – Nat King Cole

Honestly, have you ever roasted chestnuts on an open fire? Me either... sounds dangerous.

4. "Dance Of the Sugar Plum Fairy" – Pentatonix

A Capella makes everything more exciting.

5. "Linus and Lucy" – Vince Guaraldi Trio

*Whah Wah wah wah Wahnt wanh wah*

6. "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree" – Brenda Lee

Let's bring back sock hops.

7. "Sleigh Ride" – The Ronettes

The horse clomping in the beginning makes it.

8. "Underneath the Tree" – Kelly Clarkson

Don't judge me.

9. "Feliz Navidad" – Jose Feliciano

You should really make the effort to actually learn the lyrics. Please.

10. "Santa Clause is Comin’ to Town" – Bruce Springsteen

God bless the 80's and Springsteen blue jeans

11. "Silver Bells" – Bing Crosby, Carol Richards

Shout out to Grandma's favorite Christmas song

12. "Blue Christmas" – Elvis Presley

When you're feeling a little bluesy

13. "Auld Lang Syne" – Bing Crosby

Shout out to Grampa's favorite Holiday song.

14. "The 12 Days of Christmas" – Straight No Chaser

The only holiday song ft. a Toto excerpt

15. "It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" – Andy Williams

Is it? Is it really?

16. "White Christmas" – The Drifters, Clyde McPhatterson, Bill Pickney

Home Alone represent

17. "All I Want for Christmas is You" – Mariah Carey

HIT THOSE WHISTLE NOTES GIRL

18. "Little Saint Nick" – The Beach Boys

If you get to spend your Christmas on the beach. (... P.S. I hate you)

19. "Little Drummer Boy" - Pentatonix

Can't go wrong with PTX

20. "White Winter Hymnal" – Pentatonix

You'll never get this out of your head.

21. "Run Rudolf Run" – Chuck Berry

RUN RUDOLF RUN- @ Forrest Gump

22. "Christmas Wrapping" – The Waitresses

Hands down, most relatable Christmas song ever. Personally, this is the song my mom and I will jam out to on repeat for hours during the holiday season.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
