23 Reasons Why Oldies are Better
Odyssey

Since I was a young girl, I’ve always preferred older songs instead of the new modern music. They just seemed so much meaningful than the new hip songs on the radio. I’ve listen to these older songs and just never get tired of them no matter how many times I’ve listened to them. I guess that’s why they call them “Oldies, but goodies.” These songs always get you on your feet, make you feel good, or just sing along with them. I just love every single one of these songs, that's why I want to share them with you. I feel like no matter how old or young you are, you should know these songs or listen to them now:

  1. “Born in the USA” - Bruce Springsteen
    1. This song should just be our national anthem.
  2. “Can’t help falling in love” - Elvis Presley
    1. This song is just so touching, I just can't explain how much I love it.
  3. “Jailhouse Rock” - Elvis Presley
    1. This song always makes me want to jump up and dance.
  4. “Stand By Me” - Ben E. King
  5. “Lean on Me” - Bill Withers
  6. “Let’s get it on” - Marvin Gaye
  7. “I want you back” - Jackson 5
  8. “I’ll be there” - Jackson 5
  9. “My Girl” - The temptations
  10. “Livin’ on a Prayer” - Bon Jovi
    1. Here's a funny video to go along with this song.
  11. “Eye of the Tiger” - Survivor
    1. I cannot post this song without posting the video of Jensen Ackles in the TV series "Supernatural" doing his own hilarious impersonation!
  12. “I will always love you” - Whitney Houston
  13. “Imagine” - John Lennon
  14. “Twist and Shout” - The Beatles
    1. GET UP AND DANCE!
  15. “Let it be” - The Beatles
  16. “Hotel California” - Eagles
  17. “Piano Man” - Billy Joel
  18. “Uptown Girl” - Billy Joel
  19. “My Heart will go on” - Celine Dion
    1. This song is not as old as the others, but it's still legendary!
  20. “Dream on” - Aerosmith
  21. “Bad Moon Rising” - Creedence Clearwater Revival
  22. “Respect” - Aretha Franklin
  23. “Man in the Mirror” - Michael Jackson

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.

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.
