Everyone has music that they listen to when they are sad, when they are happy, when they want to sign and dance, and some that is just pleasing to listen to. For me, my mom raised me and my brother on country music. While I listen to other things now that I am older, I know that when I miss being young that I can rely on country music to bring me comfort. Here are some of my favorite songs to sign to.

1. “Why Don’t We Just Dance” by Josh Turner

Josh Turner's beautiful deep voice can make anyone want to sign along and dance.

2. “Love Story” by Taylor Swift

3. “Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum

4. “Goodbye Earl” by Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks are amazing no matter what they do, but this song is just so fun to sing along to.

5. “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift

Yes, Taylor Swift again. No, she is no longer country but I still admire her old music and love it just as much.

6. “Come Back Song” by Darius Rucker

7. “Sin Wagon” by Dixie Chicks

8. “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band

9. “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show

This feel good song is always a good one to end the night.

10. “Hillbilly Bone” by Blake Shelton feat. Trace Adkins

11. “How Do You Like Me Now?!” by Toby Keith

12. “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On” by Mel McDaniel

13. “Better Things to Do” by Terri Clark

This song makes me so proud to be a woman. It is a girl telling a boy that she has better things to do than be sad about him, which is super empowering.

14. “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Toby Keith

15. “Strawberry Wine” by Deana Carter

16. “Me and My Gang” by Rascal Flatts

17. “Our Song” by Taylor Swift

18. “Follow Your Arrow” by Kacey Musgraves

Another great song that is empowering. Always remember to be who you are and not let anyone else's judgments bring you down.

19. “Baby Likes to Rock It” by The Tractors

20. “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” by Mark Chesnutt

21. “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

22. “Stays in Mexico” by Toby Keith

23. “Huckleberry” by Toby Keith

24. “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift

25. “This One’s for the Girls” by Martina McBride

26. “I Hope It Rains” by Jana Kramer

27. “Tight Fittin’ Jeans” by Conway Twitty

28. “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” by Kip Moore

29. “Rock You Baby” by Toby Keith

30. “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days)” by The Judds

31. “Stuck Like Glue” by Sugarland

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
