Shamrocks, green clothes, leprechaun hats, and beer are well-known essentials for any Saint Patrick's day outing. But why did Irish music get left out of the mix? Here are 7 Irish songs that are a MUST for any luck-filled Saint Patrick's Day.

1. "Galway Girl"- Mundy

Traditional yet upbeat, this song is sure to have you breaking out your Irish jig.

2. "Galway Girl"- Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran's twist on Galway Girl makes for a modern, fun Irish influenced song to dance to all day. But don't forget your Guinness!

3. "Marie's Wedding"- The High Kings

If you're looking for a song that is full of pure Irish soul with a dash of romance, then this song is for you!

4. "The Parting Glass"- Celtic Woman

A beautiful Irish ballad that is not only going to give you all the feels, but is also a real piece of Irish history.

5. "Will Ye Go, Lassie Go?"- The Irish Tenors

Did someone say Irish opera? A light-hearted traditional song that will for sure have you saying 'yes, ye'll go.'

6. "Foggy Dew"- Sinead O’Connor and the Chieftains

If you need a break from the wild side of Saint Patrick's Day, then this somber song about the Easter Uprising is sure to mellow you out.

7. "Nancy Mulligan"- Ed Sheeran

To top off your playlist, this song written by Ed Sheeran on his grandparent's love story will have you ending Saint Patrick's Day on an uplifting, romantic note making you wish you had worn that "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" button!

Now go forth and enjoy St. Paddy's as your new Irish cultured self.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.
