13 Songs Millennials Will Dance To At Their Weddings

Pexel

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
