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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
