So you're heading home for the weekend and if you're like me you have a long drive ahead of you. What a better way to pass the drive by quickly than with an epic playlist. Well with the help of my good friend Miranda we did just that.

1. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

This song is a staple. Its fun and something you can jam to.

2. Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran

This song gives me all the feels. It takes me back to my childhood and gets me super excited to be back in my hometown.

3. Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts

I think the title explains itself. It's a good jam for the open highway.

4. Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is just the person one must listen to while driving. It's upbeat and a good song to dance to behind the steering wheel. But please don't take your hands off the wheel.

5. All Star by Smash Mouth

Shrek. That's the only thing that comes to my head when I hear this song. It's so catchy and you can sing along. Perfect for the car.

6. Brown Eyed Girl by Jimmy Buffett

Who doesn't know this song? This one makes for one epic sing along

7. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

For those moments when you need encouragement to make it through that last stretch of the drive.

8. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

This one's a classic. Proceed to sing along.

9. Homecoming by Kanye West

It kind of fits for a road trip home.

10. Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

Another song everyone knows that's just fun to sing.

11. Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne

What is it about 90's music that makes for a good sing a long.

12. All the Small Things by blink-182

I think this one explains itself.

13. Blank Space by Taylor Swift

You had to know another T-Swift song would make an appearance.

14. Rolling in the Deep by Adele

Adele songs are such sing a longs and that is what a road trip needs.

15. Closing Time by Semisonic

This song is just a great song.

16. You're Welcome by Dwayne Johnson

Because who doesn't love Moana and Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson.

17. With a Little Help From my Friends by the Beatles

This song is perfect because you get through a road trip with the help of music, life's best friend.

18. The Climb by Miley Cyrus

Everyone channels their inner Mariah Carey when they sing this song, let's be real, and a road trip needs some of that.

19. Stressed Out by Twenty-One Pilots

Let's be real, every one is stressed. This song is an anthem.

20. Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver

For me this is the perfect song to put on when I'm getting close to home. It makes me thankful to be back home and with my family.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
