1. "Hey Brother" by Avicii

This song made the list because I have personally devoted it to my two precious brothers. If you have ever listened to this song, you could see why. It is a very touching song, and I love it.

2. "Beer For My Horses" by Toby Keith

HAHA, this song is one of those that takes me back to my childhood...and honestly, I couldn't tell you why. I vaguely remember this one time I and my cousin Baylee sang this and the next song in my living room when we were little. Honestly, don't ask. I really don't even know.

3. "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

This one was MY ANTHEM as a little girl. I know for a 100% fact that every time this song would play it was a full-on concert by me featuring me. Also, I'm pretty sure Baylee and I performed this in my living room too.

4. "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

I will never not love this song. This was and still is mine and my aunt's song. She played this song for little baby me a long, long time ago and it has been ours ever since. I love you Manda!

5. "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon

I used to watch 'The Wild Thornberry's' religiously, and on one of the movies, this song plays. My dad used to lay down with me every night and we would either watch that or Fear Factor. This song has always had a very special place in my heart.

6. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert

I have a "house that built me". It was first my dad's parents house, then my parent's house. That house was in our family for years and years. All of my cousins that I was closest to live just a short walk or bike ride away. That house surely built me, and I will forever cherish the memories made there.

7. "Airstream Song" by Miranda Lambert


Okay, this one is on here because there is a camper business in my family, but most importantly it's on here because I was a true gypsy in another life. Just saying.

8. "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney

My mom and I would JAM to this on the daily. Kenny Chesney was our favorite guy!

9. "Boondocks" by Little Big Town

This song just reminds me of my childhood, and where I grew up. Riding bikes and playing in the mud with my cousins was kinda the highlight of my life.

10. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

I have West by God Virginia in my blood. This song takes me home every time. Most of my heart remains in West Virginia with some of my all-time favorite people in the world.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is my life summed up in ten songs!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
