Nine Songs That Made Me Fall In Love With Zac Brown Band

Forever knee-deep in the water somewhere listening to ZBB.

The first time I heard "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band, I hated it. I had yet to acquire a taste for country music, and "Chicken Fried" seemed to capture every essence of country music--the twang, the lyrics about old blue jeans and fried chicken, and was that a banjo I heard in the background?

Not to worry, though. After a summer spent working in an ice cream shop whose employees listened to country music and only country music, I eventually saw the light.

Years after first hearing "Chicken Fried," I began to really enjoy country music (especially driving in the summertime with the windows down). I revisited Zac Brown Band, and I fell in love with the very things I once hated about country music, particularly the lyrics. Here are nine songs that made me fall in love with ZBB:

1. "Knee Deep (feat. Jimmy Buffett)."


Favorite Lyrics: Gonna put the world away for a minute/Pretend I don't live in it/Sunshine's gonna wash my blues away

2. "Homegrown."


Favorite Lyrics: I got some good friends that live down the street/Got a good looking woman with her arms ‘round me/Here in a small town where it feels like home/I got everything I need and nothing that I don’t

3. "Loving You Easy."


Favorite Lyrics: Every morning when you come downstairs/Hair’s a mess but I don’t care/No make up on, shining so bright/My old sweatshirt never fit so right

4. "Toes."


Favorite Lyrics: Concrete and cars/Are their own prison bars/Like this life I'm living in/But the plane brought me farther/I'm surrounded by water/And I'm not going back again

5. "Beautiful Drug."


Favorite Lyrics: You're such a beautiful drug/I can't get enough/Addicted and I'm dying for a hit of your love/Got a death wish baby, baby/Don't want you to save me

6. "Whatever It Is."


Favorite Lyrics: People ask me what it is/I tell them I don't know/There's just something about the woman makes my heart go haywire/She's gonna be my wife

7. "Goodbye In Her Eyes."


Favorite Lyrics: I could tell that it was over/When her lips met mine/It was an emptiness in her voice/Hesitation when she smiled/She didn't have to say a word/It was just so plain to see/She had found what she'd been looking for/And I knew it wasn't me

8. "Colder Weather."


Favorite Lyrics: She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him/Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,/And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,/She's answered by the tail lights shining through the window pane


and, of course:

9. "Chicken Fried."


Favorite Lyrics: It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most/Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes/There's no dollar sign on a peace of mind, this I've come to know/So if you agree, have a drink with me,/Raise your glasses for a toast

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
