Great Songs To Listen To On Indepence Day

The Fourth of July has always been my absolute favorite holiday. Even when I was a little kid, when they asked us at school what our favorite holiday was, while everyone else chimed out “Christmas,” or “Halloween,” mine has always been Independence Day. It’s my favorite time for many reasons, but I think the main reason I have always loved the holiday so much is because of how it pulls everyone in our country together. On this one day, no matter our differences, we are all united in our love for this great nation and everything it stands for. So, for this weeks article I decided to compile a list of some of my favorite “America” or “Independence Day” songs.

“Where The Stars and Stripes, and The Eagle Flies” by Aaron Tippin'



"There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free”

‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ by Lee Greenwood



“And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA”

‘Only in America’ by Brooks and Dunn



“Only in America, Dreamin' in red white and blue
Only in America, Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance, Only in America”


‘America’ by Waylon Jennings


“From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me America, America”


‘Courtesy, of the Red, White, and Blue’ by Toby Keith



“Hey Uncle Sam, Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty, Started shakin' her fist”

‘Ragged Old Flag’ by Johnny Cash


“She’s been burned, dishonored, denied an’ refused
And the government for which she stands, Has been scandalized throughout out the land
And she’s getting thread bare, and she’s wearin’ thin.
But she’s in good shape for the shape she’s in
‘Cause she’s been through the fire before, And I believe she can take a whole lot more”

‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ by John Denver



'Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, Blowing like a breeze”

‘Color Me America’ by Dolly Parton (aka the Queen)


“I am red, and white, and blue
These are the colors that ring true
To all I am, and feel, and love, and do
I stand proud, and brave, and tall
I want justice for us all
So color me America, red, white, and blue”

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.
