9 Tracks That Should Be On Your 'Back to School' Playlist

Michele Herrera

School is back and in session. Whether you enjoy it or not, there are going to be some really rewarding and really stressful moments. With the help of this playlist, this should bring back some motivation to rock this school year and make it the best it could possibly be.

1. ABC by The Jackson 5

Starting off the list with a classic Jackson family song, this jam will surely make you break out of your desk and sing at the top of your lungs. King of Pop Michael Jackson and his siblings sure know how to put on a show. Anyone can sing along and the chorus could potentially be educational to a toddler!

2. Campus by Vampire Weekend

This song goes out to any college kids out there. The lyrics in the song could or could not be relatable to you but this tune has a simple yet fun rhythm to it. Personally, I feel like this song belongs in an indie movie about a couple of teens who always tend to get in trouble.

3. Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police

Okay, I know this one might be a little scandalous and deals with a troublesome topic. Schoolgirl is in love with a teacher and she wants to be as close as to the teacher as she possibly can be, even though the relationship is highly inappropriate and not acceptable. But don't lie to yourself, you can't help but think of that one Glee episode (Season 1, Episode 10 "Ballad") where Will Schuester tries to tell his student Rachel Berry to back off.

4. Good Girls by 5 Seconds of Summer

Whether you had a 5SOS phase or not, this anthem sure makes going back to school not so awful. 4 attractive and talented teen boys exposing good schoolgirls for not being so innocent as they seem. What more could you want?

5. High School Musical by The High School Musical 3 Cast

If you grew up in the 2000s, this song will always break your childhood heart a little. We all loved the movies and knew all the words to every single song (We still do!) If you happen to be graduating this year, this optimistic bop will bring back some good nostalgia.

6. When I Kissed The Teacher by the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Cast

The Mamma Mia! The sequel was a huge hit this summer in the box office and what's better than bringing in a little bit of summer fun into school. I will warn you to not try and kiss your teacher or sing this song in the middle of graduation.

7. Fifteen by Taylor Swift

You can't go wrong with old Taylor. This bittersweet song is about being a freshman and how high school isn't your whole life. This song really plays with the heartstrings but the message is really sweet.

8. Teenagers by My Chemical Romance

This one of the more edgier songs on the list but it's definitely worth a listen. It definitely has enough of the angry energy to last the whole school year. MCR may be broken up but this song will last forever.

9. I Don't Want To Go To School by The Naked Brothers Band

This song right here is the ultimate throwback. Teens today tend to love nostalgia and the Naked Brothers Band is definitely underrated and this song right here is how everyone feels about school.

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.

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.
