15 Songs Released In 2017 That Got Me Through This Year

Drew Graham

2017 has been a crazy year but there have been some quality tunes that have been released for the world to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some music to escape from whatever else is going on in your life. Here are some of the bops that made my playlist:

1. "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran

I can’t even count how many times I listened to this gem. From the second I heard the opening beat, I was absolutely hooked!!

2. "New Rules" by Dua Lipa

I don’t have a man to break up with but this song made me want to dance my guy troubles away! Dua Lipa is one of the best up and coming artists out there and you should definitely give her a listen!

3. "Flicker" by Niall Horan

Okay maybe you can’t dance to this one but it’s still a work of art. Niall’s first solo album came out this past October and has 13 beautiful songs to fall in love with.

4. "HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T" by Fall Out Boy

I’ve also listened to this song an unhealthy amount. It came out mid-November but it has quickly become one of my favorites off their album that is to be released January 19^th, 2018!

5. "Kiwi" by Harry Styles

A true musical masterpiece!! Harry knocked it out of the park with this tune from his first solo, self-titled album released this past May.

6. "heart" by flor

This band from Oregon is starting to really make a name for themselves. Their first full album came out mid-May of this year and they’re embarking on their first headlining tour this winter. Make sure you score some tickets before they sell out!

7. "Bodak Yellow" by Cardi B

I knew this song would be huge from the second I heard it. Cardi B is such an interesting, passionate artist and she killed it on this track.

8. "Feelings" by Hayley Kiyoko

The LGBT+ icon released this equally iconic song this past October that dives into how complicated feelings and relationships can truly be.

9. "Miranda Beach" by COIN

This song’s chorus goes so hard and COIN continues to impress with their entire album “How Will You Know If You Never Try” that came out this past April.

10. "Miss You" by Louis Tomlinson

Louis is working on releasing his full first solo album soon but for now, our ears have been blessed with a few singles. This particular one has a lot of guitars and talks about missing someone close to you.

11. "Rake It Up" by Yo Gotti ft. Nicki Minaj

This song is a major jam and I'm sure my roommates are really hoping I'll stop playing it constantly next semester.

12. "Monsoon" by Hippo Campus

This song is so chill and perfect to listen to while you’re just relaxing from the wild year we’ve had. HippoCampus’ album “Landmark” came out this past February and they’ve got a little bit of something for everyone.

13. "Don’t Play" by Halsey

This song is absolutely incredible. Words can’t describe how much I love this song. Halsey does an amazing job of crafting some beautiful lyrics that prove what a strong artist she is.

14. "Unforgettable" by Thomas Rhett ft. Maren Morris

This song is so stinkin' cute and I will forever be upset that Thomas Rhett isn't married to me.

15. "Learn To Let Go" by Kesha

This is a perfect song to blast as the year ends to help you let go and start fresh in the new year!

This has been a great year for music and I cannot wait to see what 2018 brings. These songs made it onto my playlists this year, have a listen and find some new music to love.

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.

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.

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.
