Have you found yourself listening to the same Turnpike Troubadours song over and over again? Does your red dirt playlist need a reboot? Here are some great tunes to add to your playlist today.

1. "Ain't Over You Yet" by Flatland Cavalry

This is a solid song by a great band out of Texas with great lyrics that could only come from Flatland Cavalry. If you're a red dirt fan and you haven't heard of them, you're missing out.

"Cause I quit smoking cigarettes
And gave up drinking to forget
And they say old habits die-hard
They seem to be the hardest part
I quit lying and taking bets
But some addictions you cant quit
When it comes to you, I always lose
I guess I need my fix
Living my whole life with no regrets
But I guess I just ain’t over you yet."

2. "Meet You in the Middle" by Parker McCollum

Not only is Parker McCollum a major heart-throb, he is an amazing musician with some of the catchiest songs in the genre. While "Meet You in the Middle" is my current favorite, all of his songs are worth mentioning.

"Guess I'll meet you in the middle
well aint nobody told me it'd be this hard
Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Lord only knows if I'll make it that far"

3. "Still Think About You" by William Clark Green

Red dirt is known for exceptional songwriters and William Clark Green is one of the best. Anyone who's been on either end of break-up will relate to this heartbreaking song.

"You would say you love me
Couldn’t look you in the eye
Never meant to hurt you
Never meant to make you cry
Just couldn’t hold on
Believe me, I tried"

4. "Wild Rose" by Kaitlin Butts

The females of the genre are often neglected, but they have some of the better songs. Kaitlin's sweet voice makes this song a feel-good one, in sharp contrast from the songs aforementioned.

"Well, baby, you can bloom no matter where you are,
you don't have to live in the sky to be a star,
you don't have to be a sun to shine.
Baby, just be mine."

5. "All I See Is You" by Shane Smith & the Saints

Shane Smith & the Saints is a tremendously underrated band. Most of their songs are pretty upbeat and this catchy tune is no exception.

"Then when I'm old and weathered
From the winds of a life that consumed
I pray to God the day I'll find my death bed
All I'll see is you
'Cause all I wanna see is you'"

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
