I love music. I love the way music can make you feel, and how it connects so many people together. Music is inspiring and powerful. So why do the worst songs always become the catchiest?!

Well, here's the list. The list of all the songs I wannnnnt to hate, but just can't dammit.

1. "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift

This is the catchiest bop of all time. No idea why, but it has me screaming "Shake it off" all day long. *shrug*

2. "Gangnam Style" by Psy

I literally don't even know what this song even means. Have you actually ever watched the video? Wild. But you bet I dance to it every time it comes on...

3. "Fireflies" by Owl City

Okay, I actually love this song, and I deadass know every word. Who even are you if you don't scream "YOu WoULD nOT BElieVE YOur EYES, iF TEN mILLion fIREflieS"

4. "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3

This song really taught me to never trust a hoe, never trust a hoe...don't trust me.

5. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by Soulja Boy

Introducing your FAVE MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE SONG! *screams "soulja boy tell 'em"*

6. "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings

I don't even know what to say about this song...but I know all of the names they called her???

7. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers

Does anyone actually remember learning this song? Were we all born with it programmed into our heads?

"COMIN' OUT OF MY CAGE, AND I'VE BEen doiNG JUsT fINE!!!!!!"

8. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen

This is the weirdest song, with a ridicously catchy chorus.

9. "Happy" by Pharrell

I looooove Pharrell. I really do, but this song drives me INSANE. And yet, everytime it comes on the radio, I never turn the station??

10. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua

My entire childhood, I didn't think this was a real song. But it totally, totally, is.

11. "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas

The song title says it all.

12. "Wannabe" by Spice Girls

To be totally honest, it's catchy...but the lyrics are creepy.

13. literally anything by Cardi B

I want to not like Cardi B, I really do. But her song "Be Careful" is an actual bop. I'm almost ashamed but proud to say I know every.single.word.

14. "Psycho" by Post Malone

Along with Cardi B, I want to dislike Post Malone. And yet, I love him. Literally all of his songs are stupid catchy. Lyrically, some aren't great, but the beats are insaaane.

15. "All Mine" by Kanye West

You seriously can't understand half of the song until Kanye SCREAMS "I love yo titties, because they prove I can focus on two things at once!" Offensive? Probs. Catchy? Damn straight.

16. "#Selfie" by The ChainSmokers

You're lying if this song doesn't want to make you take a #selfie...

17. "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj

I actually like Nicki, but the video for this is even weirder than the song...which I thought was impossible...boom badoom.

And there it is, seventeen popular, but terrible, songs. Make the playlist,and listen to them on repeat. They might not be the best songs, but you'll be singing them forever!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
