Here’s which Christmas song you are based on your Bournemouth University degree

As we race through December, the radio is blaring Christmas songs that will ring in my ears for the foreseeable. Luckily, I do enjoy most of the tunes as I am certainly someone who sucks up every inch of what the festivities have to offer. However, I am sure we can all agree that song of the bells are only jingling anger.

On that note – here’s an extremely biased and opinionated review of what Chrimbo song you are, based on your BU degree!

English/journalism

I study English at university, and I can say with the utmost confidence that even in my third year, people love to reference books they studies at GCSE/A-level as its most likely, the only information they have retained in reference to literature. It’s funny watching a rambling fool find the loosest connection to Macbeth or a poetry anthology, just so they can fill a not-so-awkward silence.

Look, I hate to say this because I actually have a fear of Kermit the Frog (don’t judge me) but, you have to be from A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, because who didn’t study that at GCSE? Your song is, When Love is Found/It Feels Like Christmas

*This doesn’t apply to me, because I have not retained the information I learned when I was 16. Thanks.

Politics/law

Day-to-day, you either dazzle any room you walk into – or suck the life out of it with one sentence. These courses are extremely hit or miss with the kind of person may sign up for it.

Therefore, you have to be the most hated OR most loved Christmas song, All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey. Some people say it’s worn out, others scream it for the entire month; you really have a split vote here.

Accounting and finance

Seeing as you’re probably taking any inch of joy or happiness from every space all year round, I do not see why Xmas would be any different for you.

The song you are is, Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea. This is because it can be nice to listen to when your brain is half shut off, and you can’t really hear the words. Snooze-ville.

(Dear future accountant at my place of work, please do not dock my pay – I am sure you’re so fun and nice and pretty and-)

Business

The entrepreneur, or lack there of. Look, I’m not going to rinse this degree incase the Gen-Z Bill Gates in somehow reading my waffle. Look, you’re creative and I know for sure you enjoy a mulled wine or 12 at the Apres Ski bar – snuggled in an Dior jacket bought by your mummy.

So, the song you are is I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by The Jackson 5. It’s a classic, it’s not their best Christmas tune, but ultimately, it’s completely alright – just like you!

Tourism/ hospitality

It’s okay, every friendship group needs the “fun one”, so I am sure that is you. We all have our place, we just need to find it. Luckily for you, life shoved you into that position because there is literally no where else for you to go. I really wish you the best of luck in your career of planning rich people’s three-year-old’s birthday parties, and I really really hope you get chosen to wear the cute T-Rex outfit this year.

The Christmas song you are has to be from Nativity because you certainly dive nose first into challenges and decorative balloons – you’re Sparkle and Shine from Nativity. It’s not the best song on the soundtrack, but it certainly gets your foot tapping.

Nutrition

You can even manage to put me off eating crisps and cake – and I don’t appreciate that as a sweet toothed person. I’ve never, in my life, met a Nutrition student and I literally do not want to. Leave me to indulge.

As I presume you’re irritating, so you have to be Baby It’s Cold Outside – but like, a dreadful YouTube cover from 2007.

Media/film

Oh, so you think you’re creative? Seeing as most student films make little-to-no sense to the non-degree taking watcher, you’re about as complicated as a cardboard box.

The song you are is, Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano. A lot of people sing this, not knowing what the heck is going on or what the song is even about – British idiocy I suppose – the same way they watch your student films and applause. All jokes aside, this song is great and always puts a smile on my face, the same way a lot of media undergrads have the magic talent of doing. Thanks for being such TV personalities.

Sport management

A lot of BU sport management undergraduates have a lack of light behind their eyes, in the way where they are definitely the life of the party- but perhaps do not dazzle in a professional presentation. I personally think, you’re too distracted flirting with cheerleaders to bother opening a textbook or two, but frankly – I do not blame you. Disrespectfully, some of my friends look SO good in that blue little ‘fit (P.S, India I am so sad you graduated).

Anyway Annabel, back on track… The beloved Christmas song you are is Mistletoe by Justin Bieber, because you most likely use this as some God awful pulling technique in Cameo basement.

A special AUB extra: Drama

If you’re anything like my little buddy here, you practically hum Hamilton songs in your sleep and your alarm clock may as well scream Good Morning Baltimore. Your closet may be full of all black clothes, but your special little personality certainly isn’t bleak.

The Christmas song you are is The Chipmunk song (Christmas Don’t Be Late) by Alvin and The Chipmunks.

I really could go on, and on, but frankly – I’ve had enough of listening to this music for today.
