Songs for Your Perfect Playlist

14

I think it’s safe to say that music plays a fairly large roll in all of our lives. It can make you a little sad sometimes, but it can also make you dance around like an idiot, depending on the song. As college students most of us are in touch with the latest and greatest tunes on the market. So here’s a short list of some great songs for you to put on your next playlist for parties, road-tripping, etc. You’d better put on your dancing shoes before downloading these songs because you’re gonna want to get jiggy with it after you finish reading this.

 

1.      I’m going to start with the crowd favorite, “TURN DOWN FOR WHAT” by Lil Jon. I put that in all caps so that you would scream it in your head like Lil Jon as you read it. It’s almost impossible to listen to this song and not yell the words at the top of your lungs. I have yet to hear it come on the radio and NOT watch everyone around me suddenly turn into dancing fools. It’ll get your blood pumping, my friends.

2.      Beyonce’s “XO.” It may not be the number one song off of her most recent self-titled album, but it’s a keeper for sure. It kind of sounds like the type of song that would be played during the ending scene of a majestic movie. Save this one for the end of your playlist. It’ll for-sure end your night on a good note as Beyonce’s angelic voice moves through the air, putting everyone on cloud nine.

3.      “Timber” by Ke$ha and Pitbull is also worth a little of your time. Now I realize that a lot of people seem to be anti-Pitbull, for reasons that are totally understandable. However, in his defense, this song is pretty darn catchy and he doesn’t even throw around “dale” or “calle ocho”. Brownie points for Pitbull for finally thinking out of the box a little. Also, this is Ke$ha’s first song in quite a while and I think we should all salute her totally fantastic comeback.

4.      “The Monster” by Eminem and Rihanna shouldn’t be overlooked when you’re looking for some good music either. Although this one has been out on the market for a while now, it hasn’t quite lost its charm and undeniably likeable rhythm. I think 8 Mile left us all with an unconditional love for Eminem and all of his songs. So naturally, “The Monster” is a hit that we should readily add to our repertoire of awesome dancing songs.

5.      Avicci’s “Wake Me Up” still has us all singing along as well. I feel like this song was made for college students in the midst of their education, making bad decisions every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night without remorse, living life on the edge until we’re finally “wiser and older.” Avicci really knows what he’s talking about. To be honest I’m not really sure what kind of dancing is necessary for this tune, but I can’t deny that I get an urge to start moving whenever it comes on. You all shouldn’t deny that urge either.

When it comes to whipping up a good batch of dancing songs for your next occasion, you really can’t go wrong with these songs. Everyone knows them, which means you can almost guarantee your friends will sing along and dance their little hearts out to these amazing tracks. Have fun everybody.

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.

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.
