Everybody needs some old, some new, and even "borrowed" music to jam out to.

From the newest hits, to the old jams that will make us sentimental, and even the "borrowed" songs remade into spectacular covers by today's top artists, enjoy this roundup of some of the songs you need to get you through the month of April.

1. "Lost in Japan"- Shawn Mendes

Shawn has been hinting to a new album release with his social media posts, and this only makes sense after the release of two new singles within the past two weeks. First, he released "In My Blood" and then this song, "Lost In Japan". Both songs are incredible, and are perfect for a long car ride.

2. "Contra"- Logic

Bobby Tarantino II is an ode to "mixtape Logic" and his culture as Bobby rose to fame. Shortly after releasing this album, him and his wife (Jessica Andrea, pictured on the album cover) announced their separation after two years of marriage. While the whole album features feel-good songs, "Contra" has proven to be the perfect song to workout to.

3. "Walk on Water"- Thirty Seconds To Mars

Although I've never been an entirely huge Thirty Seconds to Mars fan, this album won me over. Jared Leto and his band decided to make an album about the American dream and the concept of our country today, and "America" is the product of just that. ("Walk on Water" is controversial, empowering, and pure greatness.)

4. "Your Song"- Lady Gaga

Revamp: The Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin is one of the best things we've received in April so far. Some of our favorite artists collaborated on a reimagining album of Elton John & Bernie Taupin's greatest works. My personal favorite is Lady Gaga's rendition of "Your Song", but you can catch Coldplay, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith, and Miley Cyrus on the album too.

5. "Pray"- Sam Smith (feat. Logic)

Everybody needs a little (or a lot, if you're me) Sam Smith in their lives. This collaboration remix with Logic features the rapper singing over a bluesy-guitar as opposed to his traditional beats, which adds an interesting twist to Sam Smith's emotional ballad.

6. "Vincent"- Ellie Goulding

Released at the beginning of February 2018, Ellie Goulding's newest single gives us a beautiful cover of Don McLean's iconic song tribute to Vincent van Gough, "Vincent". Her beautiful acoustic-guitar accompanied rendition is exactly what you need before you go to bed, or just to unwind after a stressful day.

7. "Want You Back"- 5 Seconds of Summer

This song has our inner middle-school-girl personality coming out in full force. This boyband has us in our feels and dancing in the kitchen at the same time. A job well done, 5SOS.

8. "Knock You Down"- Keri Wilson, Kanye West, Ne-Yo

Obviously there has to be a throwback (or two, or three?) on your playlist, and this song is one of them. It makes for a perfect pick-me-up on days when you just need to jam in the shower or the car.

9. "Gravity"- Sara Bareilles

There's always that one song on the playlist that makes you want to cry your eyes out (in a good way?)... and Sara Bareilles does just that with her song "Gravity". Again, another classic song that just gets better with time.

10. "When Love Takes Over"- David Guetta (feat. Kelly Rowland)

Since the latter of this list has consisted of some serious sentimental vibes, it only makes sense to reminisce on the iconic Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. 8 years later, and this song is just as good as the first time I've heard it. Play it while you workout or clean the house to make things a little more fun!

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.
