10 Songs Every Saint Louis Kid Grew Up Listening To

Notey

Sing it loud — I'm from the Lou and I'm proud! Whether you're bumping Nellyville or Chingy, here are 10 songs every Saint Louis kid grew up listening to.

1. Country Grammar // Nelly

There was a long time where I didn't actually know what Nelly was saying in the lyrics...

2. Shake Ya Tailfeather // Nelly, P. Diddy, and Murphy Lee

This song definitely gained recognition because of the movie Bad Boys II but we all knew it anyway because of Nelly and Murphy Lee.

3. Holidae In // Chingy, Snoop Dogg, and Ludacris

I remember hearing the line "Now I'm on Highway 270 to Natural Bridge Road" and thinking "HEY, I know where that is!"

4. Grillz // Nelly, Paul Wall, Ali, and Gipp

Rob the jewelry store tell 'em make me a grill. You know you sang that in your head.

That 2005 swag though.

5. So St. Louis // Thurlbredz

This song wasn't that popular in my opinion, but the video oozes STL pride.

6. Ride Wit Me // Nelly and the St. Lunatics

AY must be the monay! It would be a crime not to mention the St. Lunatics (Nelly, Ali, Murphy Lee, City Spud, Kyjuan, and Slo'Down.)

7. Right Thurr // Chingy

The line "She be shoppin' in Frontenac," was another one that made me go "OUHHH." S/O to Chingy for always dropping in STL references. Bonus points for the album cover for Jackpot too:

8. Air Force Ones // Nelly, Kyjuan, Ali, and Murphy Lee

One of my fondest memories is listening to Nellyville in my mom's car on the way to...uh...first grade. I know that entire album front to back and I still do.

Never forget the iconic bandage either.

9. Pimp Juice // Nelly

I'm pretty sure Nelly tried to sell real "Pimp Juice" for a while too.

10. What Da Hook Gon Be // Murphy Lee and Jermaine Dupri

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

5045

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
