Graduation: The receiving or conferring of an academic degree or diploma.

Graduating seniors, your day is almost here. While you think about your last days of high school leading up to your graduation ceremony, there is a lot of talk about your graduation song. There are classics and new favorites. Whatever you choose will always be remembered as your class song. I have compiled a list of can't miss graduation songs to listen to on your graduation day. Check it out!

This song is a classic graduating class song. It really depicts the feelings that go through your mind as you grow up and maneuver life as an adult.

Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney

Another classic song for graduates as you prepare for life after graduation. This song is a gentle reminder to cherish every moment because every second is a blessing.

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

Rascal Flatts has a way of tugging at our heartstrings with this one. This song is a wish for someone, in this case, a wish for our seniors as they go into adulthood.

I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack

Lee Ann Womack sings of a hope for all of listening to dance on the bad days. As you walk across the stage, remember those that lifted you up, danced with you, and loved you.

Forever Young by Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart reminds us to always be young, even in our old age. We will never get these moments from our youth back so we should live like we're young.

Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds

As you walk out of that building for the last time, don't forget about the underclassmen who looked up to you and adored you. They will keep you young and this song is a bop so you can't go wrong listening to it.

Happy by Pharrell Williams

The last few have been sad, but it's time to be happy! You're graduating today, so jump around, clap, rejoice! You've accomplished something huge.

Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw

This song is another gentle reminder as you move forward in life. Always remember to be humble and kind.

Congratulations by Post Malone

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

As you reminisce about high school, I hope you find that you had the time of your life.

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa

With how things are in the world, many graduating classes have unfortunately lost classmates. This song, was my class song, as we lost a classmate during our high school years. This song is a way of remembering those we've lost on our journey to graduation.

Invisible by Hunter Hayes

If high school was hard, this song reminds you that this is your new beginning. All of the bad will soon be invisible.

Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift

Your mom will appreciate this one, as you are growing up. As you grow up, it's hard for your parents. So try not to grow up, even if it is inevitable.

This is Me by Keala Settle & The Greatest Showman Ensemble

This song is more of an anthem for the underdogs. If you had a rough time in high school, this song will lift your spirits as you close that chapter of your life.

From Now On by Hugh Jackman & The Greatest Showman Ensemble

While you're lifting your spirits, you can empower yourself. This song states that home is always there for you when it gets hard.

For Good by Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel

This last one is for your best friend. They were there and because of their friendship, you have changed for good, for better. This is a thank you to your rock as you finish this journey.

Graduation is your day. Revel in it. You accomplished something amazing. I may or may not know you, but I am proud of you. Congratulations graduates of 2018.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
