20 Empowering Lyrics Every College Girl Needs To Hear

Lexi Crider

As a college woman, things can get pretty damn crazy. Our lives are constantly being thrown in different directions whether that be with our friend groups, being homesick, dealing with the guys... the list can go on FOREVER.

However, something that always seems to stay a constant in our lives is music from empowering women. It's something that becomes tattooed on our brains and can relate to any problem, or situation, that we're in. Bursting out my favorite lyrics has become somewhat of a coping mechanism for myself, and I thought I'd take this time to share with you some of my Lyrics To Live By based on today's top hits and a few throwbacks.

1. "Obsessed" // Mariah Carey

"Finally found a girl you couldn't impress/ Last man on the earth still couldn't get this"

2. "Too Little Too Late" // JoJo

"I'm letting you go/ I'm loving myself"

3. "Ain’t Your Mama" // Jennifer Lopez

“When did you get too comfortable?/ Cause I’m too good for that”

4. "Most Girls" // Hailee Steinfeld

"But it's okay if you wanna change the body that you came in/ 'Cause you look your greatest when you feel like a damn queen"

5. "Feeling Myself" // Nicki Minaj ft. Beyoncé

"Male or female, it make no difference/ I stop the world, world stop..."

6. "Road Less Traveled" // Lauren Alaina

"History gets made when you're acting a fool"

7. "Be Alright" // Kehlani

“Yes I might get wet, I might get thrown/ But I’ll resurface all on my own”

8. "Stand Up" // Jessie J

"If you spend every day wishing for the next to come/ Aged and lifeless is what, yes, you'll become, yeah"

9. "Run the World (Girls) // Beyoncé

"Strong enough to bear the children/ Then get back to business"

10. "Fighter" // Christina Aguilera

"Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture/ I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down"

11. "G.N.O. (Girl's Night Out)" // Miley Cyrus

" 'Cause it's a girl's night/ It's alright without you"

12. "Lucky Ones" // Lana Del Rey

"You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now"

13. "Keep Holding On" // Avril Lavigne

"There's no other way when it comes to the truth/ So keep holding on"

14. "Angel" // Fifth Harmony

"Open your eyes, I'm more brilliant than you'll ever be/ Who said I was an angel?"

15. "Survivor" // Destiny's Child

"Thought I'd fail without you/ But I'm on top"

16. "Really Don't Care" // Demi Lovato

"Now if we meet out on the street, I won't be running scared/ I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air"

17. "NO" // Meghan Trainer

"If I want a man, then I'mma get a man/ But it's never my priority"

18. "No Scrubs" // TLC

"A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me"

19. "I'm Out" // Ciara ft. Nicki Minaj

"I just went through a break up (Ooh yeah-yeah-yeah)/ But it's okay, I got my cake up (Ooh yeah-yeah-yeah)"

20. "Woman" // Kesha

"I'm a mother*** woman, baby, alright/ I don't need a man to be holding me too tight"

So ladies, just remember that you don't need him, you're beautiful, and it's okay to have some fun without a man. If you ever need that little reminder, just give these songs a quick listen, and you'll feel it.

(Also, makes a great getting ready with your girls playlist!)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out

Attend the first class

Keep attending class

Have a backup plan

Remember that everything works out at the end
