Three Popular Songs That Have Overstayed Their Welcome

5

Those annoying tunes that people can't seem to stop playingPutting a stop to the newest overplayed music Remember that one time your friend stopped by your house for a bit? It was really fun to catch up and drink a little, wasn’t it? Then, three days later, you see the same friend downstairs on your couch, wearing your sweatpants, eating your Honey Nut Scooters. Clearly, your friend has overstayed his welcome.             
I believe the same can be said for music. Your favorite song is your friend who stops by once or twice a day on the radio. You have fun and the short time the song is on is well worth it. Then, your friend-song just keeps stopping by, asking how you’re doing, bludgeoning you with the same story or beat over and over. Pretty soon, this friend-song metaphor keeps tormenting you, like a thorn in your side.  Then, before you know it, you purposefully veer your car into a ditch to stop the torrential barrage of that sound coming through your stereo. 
This is a list of the three songs that have clearly and utterly overstayed their welcome, which have made me almost crash into a ditch. 
The first song that needs to leave, already, is “Timber,” by Kesha.  This song is awful on so many levels, but why is it so catchy? On nights when I’ve had a little too much color in my water, I find myself singing and dancing to it like a cowboy on hot coals. The fact of the matter is, this song is only good when you are really drunk. From the terrible raps of Pit-Bull to that awful harmonica, this song embodies everything that is wrong with the music industry today. Hopefully, this song leaves faster than that girl who found your jar of toenails.             
Next up is a song that I got tired of simply from hearing my friends talk about how great it is. It is called “Drunk in Love” by Beyoncé. Never has a girl’s exceptional vocal range actually irritated me, until now. Half of the song is Beyoncé using those great big lungs of hers to yell into the microphone about how “in love” she and Jay-Z are. Not since the tacky stage of Branson, Missouri has a married couple sung a song about each other. Let’s be honest, Beyoncé is telling us in this song that being married sucks and the only way to enjoy making love with your husband is by being blackout drunk.   The last song that needs to get out of everyone’s life is the popular “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel. Frozen was better than most expected, but did it really need to be re-released so everyone could sing along to the darn thing? Yes, because nothing makes movie studios happier than crying kids making their parents spend money. This song is, once again, a very good song, but it has been severely overplayed. In the case of all the parents out there, this song could possibly be the death of them. America, please save our nation’s parents from suicide and let go of “Let It Go.”

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.
