The Top 20 Emotional Songs

Have you ever turned on the radio and your favorite song was already playing? If you said yes, that sounds fake, but OK.

Have you ever gone to a party, surrounded by your best friends, and "borrowed" the aux cord? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I was at my friend's party this past weekend, having a night filled with GTs and Beatles music. I was dancing by the speaker when I saw an opportunity arise. The DJ had stepped away, so I seized the opportunity to steal the aux cord.

I waited until "Here Comes The Sun" finished before I seamlessly unplugged her phone and plugged mine in. I already had my song queued up and ready to go. People didn't seem to miss a beat when "Vienna" by Billy Joel started playing. The iconic beginning chords rang out throughout the small house. I looked out into the crowd and had an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. Here I am in a room, surrounded by the people who mean the most to me, dressed as a hippie, and "Vienna" is playing.

I set down my phone and ran to the nearest elevated surface to dance to my favorite song with my favorite people.

While watching everyone's Snapstories the next day, I began to reflect on other songs that elicit the same emotions for me. In an effort to procrastinate starting my essay, I complied a list of the top 20 songs that are sure to get you emotional and ready for a night filled with pajamas, wine, and your best friends.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
