Driving in a car can be pretty fun, especially when you have music to listen and sing along to. Although, listening to the radio can get boring from time to time.

Having a music app like Spotify or even making a CD to play in your car could help you come up with new songs to listen to on a road trip without the constant 5 songs playing in a row. When it comes to coming up with good road trip music, always look towards the classics.

Everything from the 70's through the early 20's; feel good songs that will bring you back to the days of your childhood. Here is a list of a few songs that could liven up any road trip playlist.

1. Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John and Kiki Dee

This fun little diddy released in 1976, and it is a classic that is fun to sing-a-long to with your best friend.


2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

A classic. Do I need to say anymore?


3. Dancing Queen - ABBA

"You are the Dancing Queen. Young and sweet. Only seventeen..." but you don't have to be seventeen to love this song.


4. You Give Love A Bad Name (Shot Through The

Heart) - Bon Jovi

Commonly known as "Shot Through The Heart", released in 1986, this song is a rock' roll hit.


5. Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

One of Led Zeppelin's most recognizable songs. With an excellent tune and chorus, how would you not love it?


6. Dream On - Aerosmith

Aerosmith is one of the most popular classic rock bands out there. This song has a calm sense and is a very powerful ballad.


7. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

Fun Fact: Did you know that the lyrics to this song came from a poem Axl Rose was working on?


8. Come Sail Away - Stix

"Come sail away... Come sail away... Come sail away with me" off into a daydream of great music.


9. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

"Stayin' Alive... Statin' Alive..." This is definitely a song worth listening to. With it's catchy tune, it's no wonder why many people turn to this song on karaoke nights.


10. December, 1963 - Frankie Valli & The Four Season

Frankie Valli's December, 1963 is a very catchy song. With Valli's high notes, it just takes you back to the early sixties.


11. The Logical Song - Supertramp

This song's message about logic restricting creativity and passion has a special place in my heart, and I hope it will touch you the same way.


12. Piano Man - Billy Joel

A great song to sing by yourself or with another friend. It's perfect for taking the lone road.


13. The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

This 1976 song is great to sing-a-long to in a car full of friends and family. It has a great beat that will liven up any party.


14. American Pie - Don McLean

I don't know much about Don McLean, but I do know this song is an instant American hit usually played a lot on the fourth of July.


15. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen

Did you know it took Bruce Springsteen six months to prefect the song "Born To Run"?

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.
