Sinatra, King Cole, and Wonder sounded good at your parent's wedding, not yours.

13 Songs Millennials Will Dance To At Their Weddings

Have you ever heard that phrase that goes something like "classic music will never go out of style?" Yeah, neither have I. Coming from a big Greek family, I go to approximately two weddings a year, which is actually more than some people have gone to their whole lives. Because of this, I've had a lot of exposure to the famed tradition of the couple's "first dance."

As such, I can confidently affirm that no one wants to hear any more Sinatra, Wonder, Presley, or King Cole. We're tired of it. Surprise us! And if not, the Millennial generation sure will.

1. "One Dance"- Drake

For those Millennials who just "don't believe in" the typical slow wedding song for the first dance, this is going to be your next option.

2. "Wonderwall"- Oasis

If someone could please define "Wonderwall" in the comments for me that would be great.

3. "Sparks"- Coldplay

One of Coldplay's super underrated songs, Sparks, came out right at the turn of the century in 2000. Some lyrics you'll love: "But I promise you this/I'll always look out for you/That's what I'll do."

4. "Thinking Out Loud"- Ed Sheeran

Duh.

(Sneak peek of you and your hubby's first dance to this song!)

5. "Then"- Brad Paisley

Can't make a Millennial wedding playlist without throwing in some country, the bane of an urban Millennial's existence.

6. "Make You Feel My Love"- Adele

Adele is the songbird of our generation; you really can't go wrong with her.

7. "If I Ain't Got You"- Alicia Keyes ft. Usher

If you don't play air-piano to the intro of this song whenever it comes on, you're doing something wrong.


8. "You're Beautiful"- James Blunt

Funny enough, James Blunt wrote a song called "2005" that goes something like "All I do is apologize/ for a song ("You're Beautiful") I wrote in 2005."

Check it out:

9. "I'm the One"- Justin Bieber ft. Chance the Rapper

Lol, I'm kidding. Don't dance to this.

10. "Marry Me"- Train

This song is just simply beautiful. Shot dibs for my wedding @katherine!

11. "Love Story"- Taylor Swift

Maybe a little too mainstream for Millennials now but hey, it's still a great song!

12. "Better Together"- Jack Johnson

If you didn't already use this for your Sweet 16 montage, try it out for your wedding.

13. "Adore You"- Miley Cyrus

One of the only good things that came out of Miley's psycho period.

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.
