One of the best therapies in the world is cruising around town with your windows down, allowing for the perfect amount of sun to kiss your skin while jamming out to music that takes you to a better place. Whether it's back to your childhood or a memory from an experience that really made you feel alive, music has a magical way of lifting us up and taking us to back to fonder times.

While I could spend hours creating an extensive list of my favorite songs from my childhood, it would never be exhaustive. We all have our favorite lyrics that we belt out when our song comes on, and sometimes those songs will resonate with you for years to come. Here's a condensed list of throwback jams that will never actually get old:

"Mr. Jones and me..."

"I don't ever wanna feeeeel like I did that day..."

4. The Middle- Jimmy Eat World (2001)

"Everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright, alright..."

5. Iris- Goo Goo Dolls (1998)

"And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand..."

6. 3 AM- Matchbox 20 (1996)

"She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, but outside, it's stopped raining..."

7. Jumper- Third Eye Blind (1997)

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend..."

8. Closing Time- Semisonic (1998)

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.
