In case you didn't know, I love music and I only thought it would be fitting if I shared with you my top 10 best albums from the last year. TO MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, these are just my opinions, that I formed out of my general music taste and concept of what makes music good. I know there will be people that disagree with me on the albums I have listed or the order of the albums, but I hope that everyone knows I do this for fun and that I want it to be fun for everyone

10. Culture II - Migos

Migos has created yet another killer album, consisting of 24 tracks. While the album has four singles that topped the charts, the rest of the tracklist is really only supported by the consistent fans of the trio. To me, the album seemed like Migos put quantity over quality. Listen here.

9. Brighter Days - Sigala

Even though Sigala is a lesser known artist, this album is perfect for long car rides or hanging out on the beach with friends. The tropical house music can put anyone in a good mood, and the entirety of the tracklist would be perfect for any type of event. Listen here.

8. Ella Mai - Ella Mai

Ella Mai's self-titled album is one for all music lovers. The newly popular artist rose to the top when her single, "Boo'd Up" topped the charts and took over radio stations across the country. Her single was definitely the most popular track, the rest of the album consists of soulful R&B songs that can chill out any person or group. Listen here.

7. beerbongs & bentleys - Post Malone

The modern-day music legend created yet another great album. Post Malone's "beerbongs & bentleys" took the music world by storm when so many songs from the total album took high numbers on the charts. I encourage everyone to listen to this album. Even my mom liked it. Listen here.

6. Championships - Meek Mill

Honestly, I can't explain why I put this album here. I just really liked it. Listen here.

5. Bloom - Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan's album is a perfect mixture of bubble gum pop and radio music, and everyone needs to listen to it. Overall, the entire album is well produced and well written. Listen here.

4. Delta - Mumford & Sons

THIS IS THE ALBUM I WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR. Even though it's not the number one album of 2018, Delta by Mumford & Sons is the indie/alternative album that we didn't know we needed. There are so many great songs, instruments, vocals, literally everything. AND, it's family friendly! Listen here.

3. Malibu Nights - LANY

LANY is seriously one of the coolest and most interesting artists of 2018. With singles that have done fairly well among the younger generations, LANY has established itself as a musical genius. He blends genres together to create perfect music for any occasion. Listen here.

2. Invasion of Privacy - Cardi B

Cardi B took the world and the music charts by storm when she dropped Invasion of Privacy. The album, consisting of thirteen songs and eight features, the album went platinum in just about three months. Cardi B's debut album was just another reason to love that weird and crazy artist for everything she is. Listen here.

1. Sweetener - Ariana Grande

Okay, if you know who I am, this is not a surprise. Ariana Grande was my top listened to artist in 2018 and I am not shocked at all. While I do love music genres like indie and alternative, every once and a while a pop album will take over my playlists. This time, it was Sweetener by Ariana Grande. I liked every song on this album, and I basically know all of the words now. I hope you take a moment and listen. Listen here.

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.

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.
