5 Underated Songs By Ariana Grande
Brian Cantor

For fans no songs are considered underrated (ever). But for those unfortunate people who only know the hit singles or seen the Vevo YouTube videos I can't say the same. Artists work doesn't always get the recognition it deserves. Whether you've skipped a track on an album or forgotten a song because you didn't realize it's genius at the time. Underrated songs are a dime a dozen. For the talented Ariana Grande this statement goes far beyond the truth as a number of lyrical master pieces have only received the appreciation of her most loyal fans. Here are five underrated songs by Ariana Grande for the public ear to take a listen to.

1. "Best Mistake ft. Big Sean"

The emotional ballad between Ariana Grande and Big Sean from her second studio album "My Everything" is alyrical master piece which has inspired my wedding vows (if I ever get married). With lines like "even if the stars fall and the moon stop shining... I'll be saving my love for you." A constantly overlooked song in the history of all Ari songs by the mass public at hand. From the nice piano entry to Big Sean's verse, this songs leaves us feeling the impact of a mistake well made.

2. "Be Alright"

Maybe the most underrated song in all Ariana Grande history. "Be Alright" from the "Dangerous Woman" album gives off major Vogue vibes. More so than the studio records bop beat is the live performance on the SNL stage with Madonna inspired choreography. This song may possibly be overlooked because the word dangerous never made it to the lyric board. Never the less this track deserves recognition for it's positive message about well Being Alright.

3. "Break Your Heart Right Back ft. Childish Gambino"

Like many of the songs on "My Everything" this one brings things to a new point in time when the lines of heterosexuality are blurred as our dear Ari gets her heart broken by her crush liking another guy. Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out" has a whole new meaning as it's infectious beat is followed up by Childish Gambino fun verse. "Break Your Heart Right Back" is more than a fun time, but a different tune to those break up songs.

4. "Greedy"

"Dangerous Woman" brought with it a number of tracks worthy of an Ariana Grande single, but the one that came unexpectedly was Greedy. The high vocal range, upbeat, funky technical beat "Greedy" is what I'd call the answer to Bruno Mars Uptown Funk. This track is most certainly a game changer. Yet it has failed to capture attention from outside the Ari fandom.

5. "Thinking About You"

This track comes at a near perfect tie with "Be Alright" in terms of it's beauty. "Thinking About You" is a heart filled song about those times when we really want someone to be with us, near us and over all in love, but because of the distance or the circumstances it happens to be impossible. From start to finish this song delivers a melody ending the album on a bittersweet end.

Honorable Mentions:

Knew Better/Forever Boy & Knew Better Part Two

This mashup of songs by Ariana Grande provides a different experience. One as equally hypnotic and relatable as the next. With the addition to the second part of "Knew Better" the story changes into a self assured female jam with a nice quick verse of Ari rapping.

In the universe of under appreciated songs Ariana Grande has a plethora of musical hits in need of a good listening too and lots of love.

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.
