Growing up, I lived in a house where music was constantly playing, and the selection varied on a spectrum from Scorpion to Supertramp, Boney. M to Eminem, Pink Floyd to Pink. Music has been a driving force throughout much of my life and it is one of my first loves. It has become a shelter away from the chaotic world outside, but also a reminder to enjoy every single day and just live.

Although my music taste is constantly flip-flopping between different genres, these songs are the ones that have either impacted me the most or are, for some reason or another, simply unforgettable.

1. “Girl On the Moon” - Foreigner

Not only the perfect song for driving around aimlessly at night, “Girl On the Moon” details one man’s elusive yet enchanting lover and illustrates the excitement of a little mystery in a relationship through the perfect classic rock form.

2. "Will He" - Joji

Peaceful yet haunting, this YouTube star turned rising star musician’s song about a failed relationship and his own neuroticism is unlike anything on the radio today. The lo-fi sound makes it sound strangely intimate, as the lyrics are poetic while simultaneously reminiscent of a drunk call from your ex.

3. “Circus” - Eric Clapton

The tragic story behind this moving song only adds to its beauty. Clapton penned “Circus” after his four-year-old son fell out of an open window in his high rise New York apartment to his death the day after Clapton took him to a carnival. Even though the recorded song sounds upbeat, the lyrics are sadly poignant, and the softness of his voice when performed live blankets the heartache that lies beneath.

4. "Black Magic Woman" - Santana

Sometimes the melody of a song is enough to propel it into a legendary status of greatness. Iconic guitarist Santana displays his talent in full force in “Black Magic Woman,” also fusing certain Latin elements throughout to create a smooth and sexy tune that remains timeless.

5. "Everlong" - Foo Fighters

Both the acoustic and the original version of this song are just as meaningful, powerful, and melodically amazing. “Everlong” describes a love like no other and how it feels when you meet someone you connect with on every level you could think of, even if it does hold a twinge of sadness.

6. "Losing My Religion" - R.E.M.

“Losing My Religion” recounts the feeling of hopelessness when the person you love isn’t interested. Even if the account seems slightly dramatic, it’s a breath-taking portrayal of someone falling into self-doubt and despondency due to unrequited love.

7. “Dust in the Wind” - Kansas

“Dust in the Wind” is the one song that I could never grow tired or bored of. Not only is it a beautifully written and reflective song about human mortality and one’s role in the bigger picture in life.

Every time I hear it I think of my father, who taught me everything I know about music and then some. With every listen, cherished memories all come flooding back, and although the song is meant to be melancholy, I always have a huge smile plastered on my face every time it’s played.

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.
