15 Songs To Help You Sleep

After a long day or when I'm having a hard time falling asleep, this one hour playlist of songs never fail to soothe me to sleep.

1. Cherry Wine (Live) by Hozier

The soft melody of his voice and acoustic guitar never fail to make my eyes feel heavy.

2. I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

Although, the lyrics are quite melancholy, this is one of my favorite songs to listen to before bed.

3. After The Storm by Mumford & Sons

Honestly, any song from this album has me out cold in seconds.

4. Who Knows Who Cares by Local Natives

Even though this song isn't an acoustic one and does contain some drumming, it still makes me drift. The violin in the background and perfect harmonies makes this song.

5. Land Locked Blues by Bright Eyes

This haunting duet is strangely calming.

6. Stop This Train by John Mayer

I mean, come on, it's John Mayer... there had to be at least one on this playlist.

7. I Was Made For Loving You by Tori Kelly ft. Ed Sheeran

One of my favorite duos in music ever, their voices paired together makes my heart happy.

8. Fly (acoustic) by Meadowlark

An overall beautifully composed song.

9. Make You Feel My Love by Adele

One of the best piano ballads ever sung.

10. Walk In The Sun by McFly

Just close your eyes and listen to this one...

11. Doing It Wrong by Drake

On most nights, this song mainly makes me want to cry, but damn, Drake makes you feel the feels with this one right into a deep sleep.

12. Til Kingdom Come by Coldplay

Follow the acoustic guitar rifts right into dream land.

13. Turning Page by Sleeping At Last

The band's name is Sleeping At Last... so I thought it fit. But really, this song is simple and comforting.

14. Close Your Eyes by Silver Trees

Just listen to him and close your eyes.

15. Celestial by Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly just has one of those angelic voices that soothe the soul, with the light thunderstorm sounds in the beginning-- I'm out like a light.

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.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
