Songs That Make You Realize Why Broadway Music Is So Relatable

Well to start off, if you have never experienced Broadway or its music at all. Do it, do it now. This is also how I look at each song, so my hope is to not offend you.

"When Your Feet Don’t Touch the Ground," from "Finding Neverland."

This song is literally about how hard life can be viewed from different ages. It goes on to say how normal it is to feel the way you do, and that it is normal for life to be hard. It is a very unique song as it is something a normal person would be able to relate with. Which makes it 10 times better.

"Defying Gravity, from "Wicked."

This song is basically about being yourself as you go on through life. It gives you a chance to think about what you want and how you want to live. While a friend counter acts what you want and it challenges what you want. It’s a great song if you are wanting to express yourself.

"In My Life/ A Heart Full Of Love," from "Les Miserables."

This just touches your heart on so many levels. It is three different people explaining a love triangle, while two are in love and the other loving him but knowing she can’t have him. It is such a interesting way of hearing each point of view and you can just feel the emotion from each character.

"On My Own" from "Les Miserables."

This song has to follow because it follows "My Life" in the musical. And boy can you get chills from the song. If you have ever loved someone who hasn’t loved you back, this song is for you because I don’t think there is any other way of expressing your feelings but with this song. It is so beautiful and magical but so moving at the same time.

"Seasons Of Love" from "Rent."

This song is pretty common so I hope you have heard it before. This song has so much underlining meaning that will be hard to understand if you haven’t ever seen Rent. Which once again I highly recommend you do. But in the story each of the individuals are struggling with something in their lives and this song is just one way of expressing that they aren’t going to let those things get to them or their friendships.

"Falling Slowly" from "Once."

It is simply one of the most amazing songs one could want to listen to. It can be taken in two ways. One, you are falling in love. It could be a very romantic song and it can explain feelings in ways you never thought you could. Two, it could also mean that you are slowly losing yourself. And that you need help recovering. The story line of the show helps you understand what the song is truly about, but as you listen you can take it any way you want and that’s what makes it so amazing.

"For Good" from "Wicked."

Ever have someone in your life that has been truly amazing and someone you would never want to lose. Well this song is one that can be a tear jerker are times. It expresses emotions about how important some people can be to our lives and even though there can be rough patches, they still mean a lot to you. This is definitely one I would recommend sharing with a friend that you love a lot, as it can sometimes say what you can’t.

Those are just a few of the songs that I have had a connection with and some that are really known on Broadway. There are plenty more, I couldn’t list them all because most songs on Broadway can have some sort of connection with somebody. Dive in to the meaning of a Broadway song the next time you listen to one!

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.
