Musicals have always been something that I loved and always had a big effect on my life. They make me feel happy, hopeful, sad, and sometimes awkward. The power of our emotions that songs can hold is huge. I have been invested in some of these plays since elementary school, and can honestly say they have lead me through so much. Here are 10 musicals and 30 songs you're sure to love:

1. Dear Evan Hansen.

"Waving Through A Window"- On the outside, always looking in/Will I ever be more than I've always been?/Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass/Waving through a window

"You Will Be Found"- Even when the dark comes crashing through/When you need a friend to carry you/And when you're broken on the ground/You will be found

"Sincerely, Me- Dear Evan Hansen/We've been way too out of touch/Things have been crazy/And it sucks that we don't talk that much/But I should tell you that I think of you each night

2. Hamilton.

"The Schuyler Sisters"- We hold these truths to be self-evident/That all men are created equal/And when I meet Thomas Jefferson/I'mma compel him to include women in the sequel!/Work!

"You'll Be Back"- You'll be back, time will tell/You'll remember that I served you well/Oceans rise, empires fall/We have seen each other through it all/And when push comes to shove/I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!

"Yorktown"- The world turned upside down/The world turned upside down/The world turned upside down
Down/Down, down, down/Freedom for America, freedom for France!

3. Wicked.

"For Good"- Like a comet pulled from orbit/As it passes the sun/Like a stream that meets a boulder/Halfway through the wood/Who can say if I've been changed for the better/But because I knew you/I have been changed for good.

"Defying Gravity"- Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game

"I'm Not That Girl"-Don't on start/Wishing only wounds the heart/I wasn't born for the rose and pearl/There's a girl I know/He loves her so/I'm not that girl

4. The Book of Mormon.

Hello- HELLO! Would you like to change religions?! I have a free book written by Jesus!

Making Things Up Again- You see? This book can help us!/I just told a lie/No, wait, I didn't lie/I just used my imagination/And it worked!

I Believe- I can't allow myself to have any doubt/It's time to set my worries free/Time to show the world what Elder Price is about/And share the power inside of me

5. Mamma Mia.

Super Trouper- So I'll be there when you arrive/The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive/And when you take me in your arms/And hold me tight/I know it's gonna mean so much tonightTonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me

Thank You For The Music- Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing/Thanks for all the joy they're bringing/
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song or a dance what are we?/So I say thank you for the music/For giving it to me

Dancing Queen- Friday night and the lights are low/Looking out for a place to go/Where they play the right music/Getting in the swing/You come to look for a king/Anybody could be that guy/Night is young and the music's high/With a bit of rock music/Everything is fine/You're in the mood for a dance/And when you get the chance/You are the dancing queen

6. Hairspray.

Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now- Once upon a time I used to play with toys/But now I'd rather play around with teenage boys/So if I get a hickey please don't, have a cow/'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Without Love- 'Cause without love/Life is like the seasons with no summer/Without love/Life is rock 'n' roll without a drummer

You Can't Stop The Beat- And you can try to stop my dancin' feet/But I just cannot stand still/'Cause the world keeps spinning/'Round and 'round/And my heart's keeping time/To the speed of sound/I was lost 'til I heard the drums/Then I found my way/'Cause you can't stop the beat

7. Les Miserables.

One Day More- One day more/Another day, another destiny/This never-ending road to Calvary/
These men who seem to know my crime/Will surely come a second time/One day more

Empty Chairs At Empty Tables- Phantom faces at the window/Phantom shadows on the floor/
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more/Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me/What your sacrifice was for/Empty chairs at empty tables/Where my friend will sing no more.

Little People- So never kick a dog/Because it's just a pup/You'd better run for cover when the pup grows up/And we'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up

8. Chicago.

Both Reached For The Gun- He had strength and she had none/And yet we both reached for the gun

Cell Block Tango-He had it coming/He took a flower/In its prime/And then he used it/And he abused it/It was a murder/But not a crime!

Mr. Cellophane- I tell ya, Cellophane, Mister Cellophane/Should have been my name Mister Cellophane/'Cause you can look right through me/Walk right by me and never know I'm there

9. You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

My Philosophy- Just like a busy bee/Each new philosophy/Can fly from tree to tree/And keep me moving!/When life's a dizzy maze/On alternating days/I choose a different phrase!

My Blanket and Me- It's a cozy sanctuary but it's far from necessary/'Cause I'm just as self-reliant as before/As a simple demonstration of my independent station/I will go and leave my blanket on the floor

Happiness- Happiness is finding a pencil/ Sleeping in moonlight/Telling the time/ Happiness is learning to whistle/ Tying your shoe For the very first time/Happiness is playing the drum In your own school band/ And happiness is walking hand in hand.

10. Phantom Of The Opera.

All Ask of You- Say you love me every waking moment/Turn my head with talk of summertime/Say you need me with you now and always/Promise me that all you say is true/That's all I ask of you.

Think Of Me- Remember me, once in a while/Please, promise me you'll try

Music Of The Night- Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation/Darkness wakes and stirs imagination

Go ahead... have a listen!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

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

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
