50 Songs That Will Get Your Next Youth Group Road Trip TURNT

In This Article:

I grew up in a Southern Baptist country church all my life. My Dad was chairman of the deacons and my best friends dad was the preacher during my pre-teen through teen years, so I was always in church. I was a wild kid doing crazy stuff but always in church on Wednesdays and Sundays. I was essentially your typical PK (preacher's kid) or DK (deacon's kid). Most kids my age were listening to rap and pop, some to rock and country. For me, it was a mixture with a lot of my musical knowledge in Christian Music ranging from contemporary pop to gospel to Christian rock and even Christian rap. I don't keep up with it as much as I used to as I have drifted a little away from Church and I'm working on coming back closer after being back to my home church.

For me, there've always been certain songs that get me turnt.

Some are older and some are newer. And "turnt" for Christian music it's not quite like other music — it's more of songs that get you either happy or just gets the group singing. Just with Christian music singing as a group on a road trip or just at a youth event is different than singing secular songs on a road trip or at a party.

The idea of this comes after seeing a buddy, Tristan Yaptengco (Yappy_Twan_Twan on YouTube), posted a video a few months ago to snap. In the video it shows Tristan and some friends all having an Acapella sesh in a car while listening to "Oceans" by Hillsong UNITED. And that is where we will start our list with the number one song that gets Christians turnt.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
