5 Christmas Songs You Should Add To Your Playlist
Nedir

Christmas is just around the corner, and now that Black Friday has passed I can shamelessly listen to all the Christmas music I want. To get people into the Christmas spirit, I've picked out my five favorite Christmas songs that I think everyone should listen to this holiday season.

1. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley

Blue Christmas is a classic Christmas song that should be on everyone's Christmas playlist. Elvis performs the song masterfully, capturing the emotion perfectly and putting the signature Elvis touch on it. It belongs on every Christmas playlist.

2. "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" by Bruce Springsteen

This live version of a classic Christmas song by the Boss is one of my favorites. It's spontaneity is captured perfectly as he's talking to the band as the song is beginning, and when they go into the song the performance is well done. It isn't as masterfully done as other versions of the song, but the spontaneous nature and it being Bruce Springsteen makes it one of my favorites.

3. "On This Winter's Night" by Lady Antebellum

Out of all the songs on Lady Antebellum's Christmas album, the title track is my favorite of all. It simultaneously has a Christmas spirit while still accentuating Charles Kelly and Hillary Scott's amazing vocal chemistry. It's an absolutely beautiful song and although may not be as well known it's still worth finding the time to listen to it.

4. "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)" by Nat King Cole

Another one of the absolute classics is this gem by Nat King Cole. It makes you want to curl up by the fire and drink hot chocolate and just relax. Nat King Cole's vocals on the song are flawless and the instrumentation behind him is so well done. It's on almost everyone's Christmas playlist, but on the off-chance, it isn't, put it there.

5. "Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)" by Kelly Clarkson

Really I could've made this top 5 all Kelly Clarkson, but I refrained and picked my absolute favorite of them which is her original song about her husband. It's an adorable song about how her relationship feels like a dream because it's so perfect, and she captures it in the Christmas spirit with perfect execution. It's one of my absolute favorite songs on the album and I would recommend the entire album. However, if you have to pick one song from it, this is the one.

When you're choosing your Christmas music this year, strongly consider all of these songs and add at least two or three of them to that Christmas playlist you have in your iTunes.

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.

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.
