"Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you."

Wow, so I'm obsessed with just the first line of this banger.

"I drink too much and that's an issue, but I'm okay."

But I think I'm more obsessed with the second line.

"Tell your friends it was nice to meet them, but I hope I never see them again."

Actually the third line.

As you can see, every verse keeps getting better and better. Each sparks another thrill of excitement in my soul and I can't help but listen to this song on repeat. Life doesn't get much better.

If you don't already know what song I'm talking about then please pause for a minute and go look it up immediately because it will without a doubt change your life: "Closer" by the Chainsmokers.

Here, I'll even make it easy for you.

Did you watch it? Are you done? Was it amazing? That was a rhetorical question because we all already know the answer. It's incredible.

Hang on I need to watch it again.

It's safe to say that this is my favorite song that has been released in a while and I'm pretty picky. To put it in perspective, this song came out on July 29 and I knew all the lyrics by July 29. If that's not dedication to this song then I don't know what is.

So, why is this the best song to hit the top charts in years?

Besides that fact that it is beyond catchy and gets anyone with bones moving out of their chair, it offers a lot more.

This song is based off of a relationship that was rekindled after four years of no communication. The Chainsmokers say, "It's about f-king your ex-girlfriend and then after remembering all of the reasons why you hate that person."

Relatable already? I think yes.

This particular song isn't the style that The Chainsmokers have chose in the past and according to them, that's why they think it has hit the charts so well, so soon. It's not what you expect from them which makes it that much more desirable. Unlike their other songs, "Closer" is mostly vocals, and it is their vocals. Although they have Halsey as a singer in the song, the majority of the lyrics are from the Dj-duo Andrew and Alex. Who are also lyrical geniuses and hotter than hell which helps with the popularity of this song.

Besides the fact that the ending of their music video is complete fire, "Closer" has already hit number one in just two days. It relates to a wide audience of people especially college millennials. Paring up with Halsey was one of the best decisions in creating this song. This allows the listeners to see both sides of the relationship, understanding the back story of why it fell apart in the first place. You become attached the the singers that you've never met before. You are able to do this because you can either relate or imagine how a falling apart relationship would be rekindled. "Closer" nails it.

The lyrics in "Closer" speak volumes compared to their first popular song #SELFIE which although was catchy, was not a song that was widely enjoyed. Unlike #SELFIE, "Closer" can be played on repeat and getting tired of it is clearly not an option at this point. I'm going on day six of constant replay.

This song will without a doubt be a classic. It will be the song you remember as the "song of the summer" and can visualize where you were when you first heard it. It's just that good.

It's the song you'll be listening to years from now, showing your future children. Because after all, we ain't ever getting older.

Now, lets get "Closer."

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. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
