I realize that these most definitely aren’t the time-tested, unequivocal, no doubt best song lyrics of all time. There’s really entire eras and genres of music that I’m not including or don’t know about myself. That said, these are songs that I’ve listened to anywhere from junior high to last night and I picked out my favorite lyrics in them. I only found videos that listed the lyrics because I think music videos can sometimes take away from the lyrics and the original meaning of the song, but that's just me.

1. "Rivers and Roads" - The Head and the Heart

“Nothing is as it has been, and I miss your face like hell.”

I know that I’ve already mentioned this song in one of my articles before, but it is so good. It always reminds me of my hometown and my high school friends and makes me sad in a great way.

2. "Do I Wanna Know?" - Arctic Monkeys

“Have you no idea that you’re in deep? I dreamt about you nearly every night this week.”

This song has the best beat to it and the lyrics are great if you can catch them.

3. "A Part of Me" - Neck Deep

"I like her ‘cause she’s smart, headstrong, and independent. She puts me in my place, but I don’t know where I stand."

I doubt many have heard this song before. I must say that this band isn’t for everyone, but they have some great music.

4. "Serial Killer" - Lana Del Rey

“If I pray really tight, get into a fake bar fight while I’m walking down the avenue.”

I will admit that I am a biased source because Lana is one of my favorite artists. That said, this is one of her less known songs and it’s become one of my favorites.

5. "Jargon" - Lil Wayne

"How can we ruin something so perfect so fluent?"

This song is out of left field for sure. I don’t even remember how I heard it but I set it as my alarm for about four years.

6. "You Could Be Happy" - Snow Patrol

“Take a glorious bite out of the whole world.”

Again, I do not know where I heard this song originally, but it was on of my go-tos during my angsty junior high years.

7. "Glitter in the Air" - P!nk

“Have you ever wished for an endless night, lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?”

This one I heard while I was in and out of consciousness on the bathroom floor, waiting to see if I would get sick again or feel better after my first day of junior high. That’s a whole other story...

8. "The Ballad of Me and My Brain" - The 1975


“Well I think I’ve gone mad, isn’t that so sad? What a shame, you’ve lost the brain that you never had.”

This has to be my favorite 1975 song. Not by much because A Change of Heart and If I Believe You are up there too. But, this is the opener to this song and it gets me every time.

9. "Drops of Jupiter" - Train

“Now that she’s back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in her hair. She acts like summer and walks like rain, reminds me that there’s a time to change.”

If you don’t like this song, you’re lying. No matter how hard anyone might try not to sing along, everyone does. If it catches you in a bad mood, you might even tear up, or maybe that’s just me.

10. "Last Kiss" - Taylor Swift

“And I hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day, and something reminds you, you wish you had stayed. You can plan for a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind.”

Taylor Swift’s old stuff never gets old. Some people don’t like this song so much because it’s pretty slow, but I’ve always loved it because of these lyrics.


There they are, ten songs whose lyrics that I love. Maybe you found something that you like, and maybe you didn’t. That’s the beauty of music taste.

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.
