If I'm honest, 2017 was a dumpster fire. Natural disasters, political scandals, horrible government policies, the list goes on.

However, one area that did not disappoint was music. So many artists dropped albums. Lorde, Jay-Z, Kendrick, Drake, SZA, Lana, Taylor Swift, and Kesha all put out new music. With new music comes new lyrics. Lyrics are good for just about everything; Instagram captions, cryptic tweets, quotes you can claim you came up it.

Since we all need some cheering up from this year's insanity, here are the best lyrics from 2017.

1. "This is all God's doing, man, you can't plan it. But if the devil's in the details than I'm satanic"

Sneakin'-Drake featuring 21 Savage

*Attempts to rap and fails miserably but continues to do it anyway*

2. "I get so lonely, I forget what I'm worth. We get so lonely we pretend that this works"

Drew Barrymore-SZA

3. "Our thing progresses, I call and you come through. Blow all my friendships, to sit in hell with you. But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre. Down the back, but who cares, still Louvre"

The Louvre- Lorde

4. "I'm sorry but did you say I'm pretty fake or pretty and fake?"

Pretty, Fake- Sälen

5. "Oh, what a bore to be so adored"

Masseduction-St. Vincent

6. "Don't be his friend, You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning, and if you're under him, you ain't getting over him"

New Rules-Dua Lipa

AKA the song every girl ever needs to have on repeat.

7. "I'm kinda getting over this, I need a metamorphosis"

Help me out-Maroon 5 Featuring Julia Michaels

8. "Aren't we too grown for games? Aren't we too grown to play around?"

What lovers do-Maroon 5 featuring SZA

9. "I feel you in my bones, your kisses feel like home"

Touch-Kehlani

10. "I wasn't lookin' for love, I was lookin' for a nightcap. I was about to head home, til' you walked in lookin' like that"

Almost Over You- Jessie James Decker featuring Randy Houser

11. "You made plans and I made problems"

Let Me Go-Hailee Steinfeld and Alesso

Story of my life

12. "I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that bitch"

Truth Hurts- Lizzo

YAS QUEEN *mic drop*

13. "These expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes. Hit the store, I can get 'em both, I don't wanna choose."

Bodak Yellow-Cardi B

14. "I'm bad at love, but you can't blame me for tryin' you know I'd be lyin' sayin' you're the one"

Bad at Love-Halsey

Story of my life: Take 2

15. "Look at you, you only come around when the bottles out, you only come around when the models out."

Glad You Came- AREA21

16. "Would've left this world behind, Just to wake up by your side, Every mornin' I, would've sold my soul for a little more time"

Whiskey- Maroon 5 featuring A$AP Rocky

17. "Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke, But we still got love to give"

Young, dumb, and broke-Khalid

18. 'Cause I got issues, But you got 'em too, So give 'em all to me, and I'll give mine to you"

Issues-Julia Michaels

20. "I don't want to hear sad songs anymore, I only want to hear love songs, I found my heart up in this place tonight"

Your Song-Rita Ora

21. "He's out his head, I'm out my mind, We got that love; the crazy kind"

Him and I- G-Eazy featuring Halsey

G-Eazy and Halsey are literally the 2017 Bonnie and Clyde of music. There's no stopping this kickass power couple.

22. "You just want attention, you don't want my heart. Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new"

Attention-Charlie Puth

23. "I'm in love with the shape of you, We push and pull like a magnet do. Although my heart is falling too, I'm in love with your body"

Shape of you- Ed Sheeran

24. "So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover, that I know you can't afford, bite that tattoo on your shoulder"

Closer-The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey

25. "And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor. Every love I've known in comparison is a failure"

Ready for it-Taylor Swift

The amount of the thought T put into this lyric is borderline insane. If you don't know what I mean, just google Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

26. "Oh, I've been shaking, I love it when you go crazy, You take all my inhibitions. Baby, there's nothing holding me back"

There's nothing holding me back-Shawn Mendes

27. "Sit down, be humble"

HUMBLE- Kendrick Lamar

28. "All you have to do is stay a minute, just take your time. The clock is ticking, so stay"

Stay- Zedd and Alessia Cara

29. "Despacito, this is how we do it down in Puerto Rico. I just wanna hear you screaming, "¡Ay, Bendito!"I can move forever cuando esté contigo"

Despacito-Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber

This is the most spanish I've spoken since high school so thanks for the reeducation!

30. "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" "Why?" "Oh, 'cause she's dead!"

Look what you made me do-Taylor Swift

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.
