The Spanish language and how it is rolled off the tongue is filled with romance, flavor, and fire. When it comes to music, there are songs that can fill you with pride, tell you a story, or warm your heart. No matter what topic, these songs WILL get you on your feet and even if you're not going through it, it will make you feel some type of way.

1. "Obsession" by Aventura

The KOB always have you in some type of mood. It can be wanting to hold your man, tell your girl you love her or make you feel insecure. This goes for most of their songs but if you don't know this one, don't even talk to a Latina.

2. "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" by Celia Cruz

This song is not only one of my favorites to dance to but it sends a great message. Celia Cruz reminds people that the bad moments in life are NOT forever and things will get better. She's also saying to enjoy life and that people shouldn't be feeling low because there's always a way up.

3. "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" by Selena

Of course, Selena had to make the playlist. There are way too many of her songs for me to choose the best so on this list, I'll just add the one most people are familiar with. Her songs are always so relatable and can put you in any mood depending on the lyrics.

4. "Oyer Mi Amor" by Mana

Mana is a band that has way too many hits to just narrow it down to one but if I had to, it would be this song.

5. "Oye Mi Canto" by N.O.R.E., Daddy Yankee, Nina Sky, Gemstar, Big Mato

This was another prideful Latino song and it was released in 2006. This was THE reggaeton song to play at every family function.

6. "La Rebelion" by Joe Arroyo

While salsa gets you on your feet every time, you might get lost in the rhythm of the music. This classic gets you moving but speaks the truth when you listen closely to the hard history in the lyrics.

7. "Suavamente" by Elvis Crespo

You would literally hear this at every family party. To this day, this song never fails to make it to everyone's playlist when there's a get-together or at a quinceañera.

8. "Rakata" by Wisin & Yandel

I'd narrow down their songs to this one. The DJ at my 2015 senior prom even played this. This is definitely an oldie but goodie.

9. "Bailamos" by Enrique Iglesias

Enrique will forever continue to steal our hearts. This hit was one of the many that were overplayed on the radio when I was maybe five years old. All our mamas were definitely blasting his music in the house.

10. "La Camisa Negra" by Juanes

I still catch myself singing this song from time to time. When I was younger, I would sing this with a hate for someone that I wasn't even dating...

11. "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee

This man is like his music, timeless. I swear, he does not age. This song will be just the same. Play this wherever you want, whenever you want and I guarantee you that the Latinos will stop everything just to dance and sing along.

12. "Ella Y Yo" by Don Omar & Romeo Santos

I had to grow up to realize how intense this song actually was and for me to actually appreciate it.

There are so many other songs that could have also made this list but at that point, the list would be never ending.

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.
