7 Most Genius, Under-Appreciated Musical Soundtracks You Forgot

Put down Hamilton, push pause on Dear Evan Hanson, and turn off High School Musical 1, 2 and 3. We all know the classic soundtrack that blows up, catching us by surprise with its clever lyrics and catchy beats. But what about the other guys? The forgotten soundtracks that don't first pop into someone's mind to listen to? Sure, most of them had their hey-day, but whatever happened to those tracks? That forgotten, under-appreciated genius. Well, its spring cleaning and we found these under your bed, hiding in the dust bunnies, here they are...

Welcome to the 7 Most Genius, Under-Appreciated Soundtracks You Forgot.


1. Into The Woods

For this soundtrack, I tend to favor the movie version because James Corden, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Anna Kendrick, and Emily Blunt tickle my fancy. But honestly the prologue song is so compelling, how could you not love it? Not to mention the comic relief.

2. The Last Five Years

Jeremy Jordan gets me every time. Although this storyline could be seen as a bit sad and depressing, the lyrics and the rhythm are nothing short of catchy, melodic genius.

3. Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia is so easily forgotten but with a soundtrack so lively and fun it makes you wonder how you even dare listen to anything else.

4. Tuck Everlasting

I don't understand how this show never made it long on Broadway because I think it is honestly one of the most heartwarming and amazing soundtracks I have ever heard. A classic take on a great book. Phenomenal. 10/10.

5. In The Heights

This show was popular, but with the rise of Hamilton and Dear Evan Hanson, this show has kinda hit the back burner. That is not to say that this soundtrack is anything less than hot though!

6. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I always forget this soundtrack exists, which actually is a great thing because its almost like I get to rediscover its beauty all over again.

7. Dogfight

Derek Klena as a marine. Silky tenor and a beautiful face. What more can I say?

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.
