Same song, different memories, different feelings

Songs Have Special Meanings

Music is something extra special because more than one person is going to know a song. But the cool thing about music is that everyone is going to have a different memory to associate with that song. Some good and some bad. What's even cooler is everyone is not only going to experience a different memory but also a different feeling. Here are some of my favorite songs. Some include good memories and others include bad.

1. "Glad You Came" by The Wanted

I will always remember this song I feel. For a long time it held so much importance to me. And looking back the reason this song was so important to me makes little sense. This was the last song I danced to at my senior prom. I don’t know why it was so special to me at one point in my life. Maybe it was just because of how memorable my senior prom was. But whatever it is the memories I hold onto with this song are at least decent ones.


2. "What Does the Fox Say?" by Ylvis

This song is definitely quite special to me. It is my ringtone for when my family calls or texts. It is something that has definitely held importance to me since the moment it became so popular. I remember being two-and-a-half hours away from home during community college and texting my mom. We would text the lyrics back and forth to each other for what seems like hours. It will always hold some type of importance to me because it reminds me no matter how far away I might be away from my parents sometimes, in the end we still have this song.

3. "Fix You" by Coldplay

I have always loved this song. It’s super special. “When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep” (Coldplay). This song is a necessary reminder for me. It’s a reminder to me that I won’t always succeed. What I want is not always what I really need. There are going to be moments where I’m so tired but I toss and turn all night. I’m not alone. And someday someone will be there to try and fix me.

4. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift

I remember singing this song over and over during community college with my friends. And at that moment it meant nothing. It was just a song. But now it means more than it ever did before. It’s a reminder that my ex and I are never ever getting back together. No matter what. We aren’t. And you know what that is okay. But whenever I hear this song I definitely will be reminded.

5. "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland

When I hear this song, often I will shed a tear or two. And it has not always been this way. I haven’t always cried over this song. I learnt how to play it in Orchestra in 8th grade. I loved playing this song. It was my favorite of all time. But in 8th grade I also lost a friend of mine to cancer. And he was in orchestra with me. This song was played at his school memorial service. And now every time I ever hear this song I am reminded of him.

6. "F**Kin’ Perfect" by P!nk

This song is a definite reminder. It’s important and necessary. “Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel, Like you're less than f***ing perfect. Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel, Like you're nothing, you're f***ing perfect to me” (Pink). I remember writing it down on a note to my best friend so she’d always remember. Because sometimes it is so easy to forget. We used to sing this song to each other over and over and over.

7. "Mama’s Broken Heart" by Miranda Lambert

Me and my best friend would cruise around town for no reason. Or we’d drive to some location to shop, but no matter where we were going or what we were doing this song was usually played at some point. And no matter what it would always be blasted and we would be singing it at the top of our lungs. This definitely will always be a memory I cherish when I think of this song, just cruising with my best friend with no care in the world.

8. "Jesus, Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood

This song holds extra special importance to my life. In 2012 I was involved in a rollover car wreck. My car rolled a total of four times landing on all four wheels. I walked away only bruised and cut. I definitely will always be reminded of this when I hear this song. I feel Jesus definitely had the wheel that day.


9. Bear Necessities" by The Jungle Book

This song definitely holds importance to my childhood and it always will. But this song also holds much importance to me at 22. One of my best friends wanted to do something special for my 22nd birthday. She took me to see Jungle Book and this song was what I looked forward to the whole movie. But to have a friend that wanted to make sure my birthday was extra special and just spend time together will always be the reminder when I hear this song. How much she cared to make my 22nd so special.

10. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" by Beyonce

This is one of those songs you can’t forget the lyrics to. No matter what you are doing, once you hear it you are singing along to it. And no matter what, at least one person will know the dance to it. This song holds memories of singing it and dancing to it with my girls. And all though not all of them are still single, I will definitely be reminded of the memories.


11. "I'll Be There For You" by "Friends" Theme Song

This song definitely holds some more negative memories. And sometimes when I hear it played, it takes me a second to sallow. This song was another one associated with my good friend who passed away of cancer. We sent him a card the week before he passed away that played this song. And I used to have to cover my ears anytime this song played (which is hard because I love the show "Friends"). But now it is definitely a little easier for me to hear.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
