10 Ariana Grande Songs You Need to Listen To

I don't know about you, but almost every time I turn on my radio, I hear an Ariana Grande song. This girl has gone from performing in musicals to starring on Nickelodeon shows to selling out arenas. And she's only 23! By now everyone knows the lyrics to "Dangerous Woman," the hit single from Grande's latest album with the same title. Here are 10 songs by this powerful singer you need to listen to that aren't on the radio (yet).

1. "Tattooed Heart"

Grande goes old school in this '50s-style tune, singing about how she wants to go steady and be wrapped up in her boy's jacket like they did back then. Her vocals are strong, yet effortless, and you can't help but snap along to the rhythm.

2. "Be My Baby" (featuring Cashmere Cat)


This song is fun thanks to Grande's airy vocals and the upbeat melody. While physical aspects may not be the most important part of a relationship, Grande reminds us that they do still matter.

3. "Thinking Bout You"


This song can be interpreted a few different ways, so give it a listen and see what you think. Whatever meaning you pull from it, we can all agree that Grande's vocals are once again beautiful on this track.

4. "Popular Song" (with MIKA)


Grande has been known to sample quite a bit in her songs, and this one is no different. Using a line and melody from Wicked's "Popular," this song is catchy while being slightly humorous in a dark manner. Also, the video depicts karma at its finest.

5. "Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart"


Believe it or not, this song was written by One Direction's Harry Styles. Grande's vocals shine on this beautifully heartbreaking number about wanting someone but knowing you'll never be their first choice. Get the tissues out for this one.

6. "Bad Decisions"


One of my absolute favorite lines sung by Grande is in the bridge of this song. She's sassy and isn't afraid to speak her mind about how she doesn't care what others think of her and her relationships. All in all, this song is a banger.

7. "You Don't Know Me"


Grande tells off all the haters in this song about how the media may portray her differently than her true self. She reminds people of the old saying: "Until you walk a mile in my shoes, you don't know me."

8. "Touch It"


If you're looking for a song that builds and has fantastic melodies, you've found your match. "Touch It" has honest -- yet risque -- lyrics, again dealing with a relationship. Grande hits some signature high notes in the last chorus that are sure to give you goosebumps.

9. "Honeymoon Avenue"

"Honeymoon Avenue" is one giant metaphor for a relationship, describing the ups and downs of being with someone. Be sure to check out Grande's video for "Into You" to see a wink at this older song.

10. "Greedy"


This has song it all: catchy melody, overlapping vocals, fun lyrics, and inspiration from the past. You'll definitely find yourself belting -- well, at least trying to belt -- along with Grande by the end of this tune.

If you're already a fan or just became one after listening to these songs, be on the lookout for tickets and dates for Ariana Grande's upcoming tour, which is said to be taking place late 2016 through early 2017.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
