Ten Lyrics To Live By From "The Boss" Himself

One of the most universally understood efforts is music. It connects people, it helps people, and most of all- it causes understanding.

The lines that are said in a song can be so powerful to how we choose to go about our days, weeks, lives...

Here are some song lyrics from one of the best there is, Bruce Springsteen "The Boss", that might just stick with you enough for you to want to sing them too.

1. "Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny."

-"Rosalita", Bruce Springsteen

2. "God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of."

-"Brilliant Disguise", Bruce Sringsteen

3. "For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside, that it ain't no sin, to be glad you're alive."

-"Badlands", Bruce Springsteen

4. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above."

-"Tunnel of Love", Bruce Springsteen

5. "I'll love you with all the madness in my soul."

-"Born to Run", Bruce Springsteen

6. "Stay hard, Stay hungry, Stay Alive!"

-"This Hard Land", Bruce Springsteen

7. "A dream of life comes to me, like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line."

-"The Rising", Bruce Springsteen

8. "So you been broken and you been hurt?, Show me somebody who ain't, Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain, But hell, a little touch-up and a little paint."

-"Human Touch", Bruce Springsteen

9. "I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone, I heard the voices of friends, vanished and gone."

-"Streets of Philadelphia", Bruce Springsteen

10. "You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling apart."

-"Born to Run", Bruce Springsteen

No matter how your day is going: take a quick look at some of these lyrics and realize that you simply have to be The Boss of your own 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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
