If you're anything like me, you love musical theater. There is nothing quite like it. Nothing that can truly transport you and create magic that theater can. Nothing ignites emotions and hits you that deep.

Over the years I have listened to countless cast recordings, watched endless Youtube videos, and have cried for way to many hours over the beautiful music that musicals create. Whether you need some musical songs to belt it out to in the car, in the shower, or while you're getting ready, don't worry ... I've got you covered!

1. "The Wizard and I" - Wicked

We all know that Defying Gravity is an amazing song and by far one of, if not the biggest, highlight from Wicked. However, "The Wizard and I" is such a fantastic song that definitely does not get enough credit in my opinion! This is one of my all-time favorites and will leave you feeling happy and hopeful that all your dreams can come true.

2. "Santa Fe" - Newsies

If you want your heart to melt, and I literally mean melt, look no further than Jeremy Jordan's perfect rendition of "Santa Fe". His voice is that of an angel and could, correction will, make you cry happy tears! I highly recommend looking up Jeremy Jordan on Youtube if you don't know who he is. I promise you won't be disappointed!

3. "Seasons of Love" - Rent

Where do I even begin with "Seasons of Love". This song is beautiful, heartwarming, and motivating all at the same time. If this one does leaving you bobbing your heard and clapping to the beat, then I don't know what will!

4. "Satisfied" - Hamilton

There is no way I could possible get through this list without having a song from Hamilton. It is without a doubt one of the most amazing pieces of art EVER! There are so many amazing songs in the show that will get you hyped up; however for me, this one never fails. "Satisfied" is beautiful, yet heartbreaking, but is perfect to belt it out to.

5. "Journey to the Past" - Anastasia

This beloved animated movie, which is surprisingly not Disney, just came to Broadway and is amazing! We all know that we loved this song when we were little if you were lucky enough to have seen this movie. It automatically puts a huge smile on your face.

6. "Evermore" - Beauty and the Beast

This is Alan Menken at his finest. "Evermore" is found solely in the live-action movie, but is truly one of the most memorable songs and is right up there with all the Disney greats. I am literally obsessed and you will be too!

7. "She Used to be Mine" - Waitress

OK, so this one may not leave you feeling to happy, but it is just amazing and a great shower song. You will cry. There is no getting around that. So just go with it and belt it out, whether you can sing or not!

8. "I Believe" - Book of Mormon

There are so many great songs in Book of Mormon, but this one is most definitely the standout. It is hysterical and fun. I recommend this one to perform while you're driving, but hey, that's just me.

9. "Good Morning, Baltimore" - Hairspray

I don't think there is any other Broadway song that is better to sing into your hairbrush while you get ready in the morning than "Good Morning, Baltimore." It's so light-hearted and will leave you feeling great and ready for the day.

10. "One Day More" - Les Miserables

This song requires belting. There is no way around it. Just choose your character, or several if you're feeling a little adventurous, and go to town. The finale of this song is one of the best ever, especially for us tone-deaf people who wish we could sing.

11. "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" - Dreamgirls

This one goes without question. I don't even think I need an explanation as to why this song is amazing and a fantastic to get you hyped.

12. "Waving Through a Window" - Dear Evan Hansen

If you have not yet listened to the magic that is Dear Evan Hansen, you must. This show is so incredibly moving; it's unlike anything else. This song is the standout of the the entire show for me and will leave you so intrigued, you won't be able to stop listening!


I hope that you're days are filled with magic, musicals, and belting as high as you can, whether you the voice of an angel or not! Enjoy!

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.
