Life is a rollercoaster. It has ups and downs, those butterfly moments where all you can see if straight down, and it has the curves that throw you off your game for a while before bouncing back. However, the one constant in life is something that people hear everywhere but never acknowledge properly: music.

Music is the thing that truly brings people together; it breaks language barriers, offers hugs, and even lets people express themselves with all the different genres and interpretations that one can pull out of it. It's the one universal constant in a world that is always changing, and there are so many songs to explain what any one person is feeling at any moment. However, finding the right song to describe your mood is hard sometimes when all you can feel is that one emotion, so below is a list of emotions paired with songs that I listen to when I'm feeling that way.

1. Joy/Happiness.

"Sadie Hawkins Dance" by Reliant K
"King" by Years & Years
"Livewire" by Oh Wonder
"YOUTH" by Troye Sivan

2. Sadness

"Cry" by Kelly Clarkson
"You're Not Alone" by Owl City, ft. Britt Nicole
"Sight of the Sun" by fun.
"Kiss It Better" by He is We

3. Broken hearted.

"Poison & Wine" by The Civil Wars
"Still Into You" by Paramore
"Drive" by Oh Wonder
"Still In Love With You" by The Jonas Brothers

4. In love.

"Unconditionally" by Katy Perry
"Photograph" by Ed Sheeran
"The Girl" by City and Colour
"Lovebug" by The Jonas Brothers

5. Angsty/Nostalgic

"Misery Business" by Paramore
"Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy
"Dirty Little Secret" by All American Rejects
"Welcome To The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance

6. Calm

"Elevated" by State Champs (Acoustic)
"Our July In The Rain" by He is We
"Funeral" by Lukas Graham
"Swoon" by Beach Weather

They all describe a wide range of emotions, and you never know when you'll need to find the perfect song. And remember: music is, quite literally, the answer to everything in the entire universe. Don't forget that.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.

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.
