Freshman Year Explained Through 20 Songs

Pinimg

There are ups and downs to your freshman year of college. Most of your times can be described through song lyrics, as I am coming to realize, almost any moment in life can be. Here are just 20 songs I feel summarize the freshman year of college. I suggest listening to the majority of them because you may find you can relate as well.

1. All Night Longer- Sammy Adams

You come into college confident and with expectations to only have fun... you will soon find out you are wrong.

2. You Ain’t See Nothing Yet- Bachman-Turner Overdrive

After taking the first test in each of your classes which you thought were hard; this is what your professors are thinking.

3. Kiss This- Aaron Tippin

You are starting to get annoyed with people and standing up for yourself.. this song explains it well.

4. I like Tuhh- Carnage

You get back in your mindset of having fun and your friends convince you it's okay to put off your homework.

5. Jumpin’ Jumpin’- Destiny’s Child

6. Love Myself- Hailee Steinfeld

You are a "strong, independent woman who don't need no man".

7. I Don’t Need A Man- Pussy Cat Dolls

Pretty much explains itself.

8. I Will Survive- Gloria Gaynor

Those bursts of motivation hit you and you find the strength to keep powering through those 10-page papers!

9. Bounce Back- Big Sean

You Got This!

10. Breakeven- The Script

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing". Halfway through the semester

11. All Time Low- Jon Bellion

After tiring times of assignment and test after assignment and test, you aren't sure if you can keep going.

12. Here’s a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares- Travis Tritt

You start stressing about your own problems and hit a point where you just can't handle Suzie's drama with Sydney.

13. Playa No More- PnB Rock

You keep running into guys who run off after a while, but then maybe you find one who will stay a while.. but is he real?

14. Waitin’ On a Woman- Brad Paisley

If you go on a date.. this will happen. Sorry guys.

15. Fake Love- Drake

In regards to number 13... no, he was not real. Just a figment of your imagination.

16. We Don’t Talk Anymore- Charlie Puth

17. 7 Years- Lukas Graham

The sentimental times start to flow into your head as you begin to end the semester and realize barely any of your friends are even in the same state as you this summer.

18. Unsteady- X Ambassadors

You start wondering if it is possible to truly finish the year and find it is indeed possible to eat while sleeping.

19. It's All Coming Back to Me Now- Celine Dion

All of the knowledge from the year starts to make sense but all of your memories start flowing back too.

20. Eye of The Tiger- Survivor

You find Rocky's motivation and power through with a few all-nighters, a couple gallons of coffee and many trips of luggage from your dorm to the car.

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.
