"Pass me the aux cord!"

A phrase you hear countless times during a college road trip, whether it be across state lines or to Target. My generation does not really listen to the radio anymore because we have the technology in our cars, or accessories, that allows us to listen to our own playlists or a playlist created by someone else.

Music is still alive and well today, in fact it is growing exponentially with the number of new artists coming on the scene. With less and less number of millennials listening to live radio, we rely on our own music tastes and even our friends' playlists. I have my own "go-to" list of songs while my two friends have their own completely different "go-to" list of songs.

The one thing we can all agree on is that the 80's has some of the best hits known to mankind.


1. "Physical" by Olivia Newton John

Probably one of the weirdest songs of the 80s, but it is a fun one to work out to.

2. "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen

Okay, but who doesn't love Queen? They made so many huge hits that we still listen to today.

3. "I Love Rock 'N Roll" by Joan Jett

Without this song, how else would you know how much to put into the jukebox, baby?

4. "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

I still sing this in the shower or when I'm in the car alone. Michael, we get it. Billie Jean isn't your lover, and the kid is not your son.

5. "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi

My second favorite "go-to" karaoke song.

6. "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

My first favorite "go-to" karaoke song. Also, play the first couple of notes in a crowded room and I promise you everyone will start singing it. It's a fun social experiment!

7. "Girls Just Wanna have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper

I would be lying if I said I didn't try out with this song for my junior high talent show.

8. "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor

Oh the song of every high school band, ever.

9. "We Are The World" - Various Artists

Although this came out in 2010 for Haiti, it was first used for the starving people in Ethiopia.

10. "Mickey" by Toni Basil

If anything, this one hit wonder has a catchy chorus!

11. "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" by The Clash

It's a serious question because if he goes there will be trouble, but if he stays there will be double.

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.
