Ten Albums Everyone Needs To Get By

The collection of a music junkie is vast and extremely diverse. Many of us are constantly digging to find something new, and if we're not searching for the latest and greatest, we're rehashing old favorites. Here are a few of my favorites, which I believe to be must-haves for any age.


1. Paul McCartney- Band On The Run

This album has a special place in my heart and never fails to put me in a better mood. McCartney is the best of the best.

2. Paul McCartney- McCartney I

McCartney I is probably my personal favorite McCartney album and of course, had to be included on this list. Paul plays all the instruments on the album & proves that there is life after the Beatles' split.

3. The Beatles- Abbey Road

As cliche as it sounds, Abbey Road is my favorite Beatles album (tied with Sgt. Pepper, of course.) I have a newfound love and appreciation for the Beatles and what they did as a group and on their own, as well.

4. Eric Clapton- Unplugged

I have been a Clapton fan for a while now and love everything he's done. To me, his Unplugged is the best of them all and was a turning point in his career. Acoustic versions of hits like Layla made us fall in love all over again.

5. Taylor Swift- Red

Once a fan, always a fan. Red will forever be my favorite Taylor Swift album because she proved herself even more as an artist, and made a smooth transition into popular music. I like her style and songwriting ability.

6. Train- Save Me, San Francisco

Train has a unique and familiar sound that people don't get tired of. They're still making music today, and I am still obsessing over it.

7. The Rolling Stones- Exile on Main St.

The Stones will forever be my favorites. I love this album because of the way they managed to make something beautiful out of their personal struggles. It has a certain grit and messiness to it, which I really appreciate.

8. George Strait- It Just Comes Natural

There will never be another man like George Strait. He is THE most charming man in the world and is absolutely timeless.

9. The Who- Who's Next

Words don't do The Who justice, so just see for yourself.

10. Matchbox 20- Yourself or Someone Like You

Matchbox 20 is a unique group with a great sound. I am a huge fan.

These are some of my all time favorite albums. There is no way for me to pick just ten, and I'm kicking myself right now for leaving some out, but this is the music that has brought me so much joy in my life. These are the songs that I've blasted after a bad day or a breakup. This is how I've gotten through the trials and pressure of everyday life. I am beyond grateful to these artists for bringing a glimmer of hope to the darkest days and making me feel bliss.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
