I Asked For Sad Songs, My Friends Showed No Mercy

We have all heard a song that has struck a chord in our heart. Sometimes it is a lyric that we relate to or the context of why the song was written, but one thing is for sure: music is one of the best ways to share emotions. It can evoke feelings of joy, sadness, and laughter from even the most reserved person. I asked my friends which songs they considered to be the saddest songs they have heard and they did not disappoint. It was hard to choose, but I compiled a playlist of the top 20. Feel free to listen when you are feeling down!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
