Whether you grew up performing in shows or not, you still probably love a good Broadway jam session every once in a while. The following are my favorite songs to sing along to from musicals.

1. "Defying Gravity"

This is a given, because "Wicked" is one of the greatest musicals of all time, and the soundtrack does not disappoint. Even though some of us can't hit all of the powerful notes that Idina Menzel can, we still try.

2. "Without Love"

Whether you love the movie or the original Broadway musical, "Hairspray" has amazing numbers that you can sing over and over again. "Without Love" will always be one of my absolute favorites.


3. "Circle of Life"

Since we were just little kids, we have been singing this song whenever we hear the famous opening words. This song never seems to get old, and I know I never want it to. "The Lion King" continues to be one of my favorite movies and musicals to this day.


4. "You're the One That I Want"

This song from "Grease" is a classic, and I never hesitate to sing along when I hear it playing. Along with "Summer Nights," this song is one of my favorite songs from "Grease" that I will never get tired of listening to.


5. "One Day More"

This song has several different parts, but just singing it by yourself in different voices is just as great as singing it with a group of people. "Les Miserables" has one of the most beautiful soundtracks, and this song is the powerful ballad that never fails to give me goosebumps.


6. "The Sound of Music"

This song just makes me want to run through the hills of Austria singing. "The Sound of Music," especially the movie adaptation starring Julie Andrews, is such a brilliant and classic musical that has such a memorable soundtrack.


7. "The Phantom of the Opera"

Whenever I listen to this soundtrack, I just pretend I am an amazing opera singer just like Christine. This song is both dramatic and intense, and whenever I listen to it, it makes me want to watch the movie starring Gerard Butler.


8. "All That Jazz"

Whether you are just snapping your fingers to the beat or belting out the lyrics, this song is another perfect song to sing to in the car. I remember this being one of the first songs I listened to that got me interested in Broadway musicals, and it continues to be one of the best songs in a musical. (It's from "Chicago.")

9. "Omigod You Guys!"

I recently saw "Legally Blonde: The Musical" and ever since, I could not get this song out of my head. For that reason, I knew this song deserved a spot on my list.

10. "Seasons of Love"

When the first few notes of this song are heard, its easy to just start tearing up. This song is inspiring, beautiful, and pretty much perfect in every way. "Rent" has a great soundtrack, but this song continues to be my favorite.

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.

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.
