We loved these songs when the first came out, well at least some of them. However, due to the simplicity of an excessive amount of repetition in an absolutely dismal time frame we have grown to hate these songs, so much so that we are ready to play anything else.

1. Good Riddance

This is a song we all remember, especially while we were in middle school and high school. This is the epitome of a sad song, used to forget whatever was on our minds at the time. Maybe the biggest problem is that is was a Green Day song, but I digress, anyway what over dramatic parting of ways would be complete without some wannabe rocker, his guitar and this song.

2. Trap Queen

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this drag and drop song from some suburban kid's dorm room, I might be able to pay off my student loans. It's not really a spectacle of a song, rather Fetty Wap was able to put something together that people just loved singing, even after hearing it fifty times in a row.

3. The First 30 Seconds of "Black Parade"

Let's be honest, you never actually listen to the whole My Chemical Romance song. This father asks his kid to be the savior of the broken and he couldn't even save the song.

4. "Wonderwall"

This is best solved with a math equation, x*y=0. Where x is the number of times you've played this song to a girl, and y is the number of girls who talked to you again. Let's be honest, y=0.

The song itself is awesome, but only when Oasis plays it.

5. "Uptown Funk"

I'll give you 20 bucks if you can tell me the artist. Seriously. For all of those who guessed Bruno Mars, sorry. Mark Ronson was shoved under the radar similar to, at this point, where we all wish this song could be.

6. "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk

It's the first song to be written and recorded in less time than it takes to listen to the song. It also has a very unique composition of "ctrl v, ctrl v, ctrl v, synth break, ctrl v". Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again. Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again. Synth break. Nothing screams originality like hearing the same thing over again.

7. "1985" - Bowling for Soup

Bowling for Soup's career out look is about the same as your out look on getting with Stacey's mom, slim to none.

8. "Thrift Shop"

The song that was playing when you parents took you shopping at Abercrombie. The lyrics are comprised of all the things you won't find in a thrift store.

9. "Hey There Delilah"

What's the only thing better than a four chord song? A two chord song. It's the song that kid used to justify his obsession with your sister. Seriously, we see you, go home before we call the police.

10. Any Coldplay or Nickleback Song

Literally all of their songs work. They would have been better being like that kid from your high school who wanted to be a rapper, and swears he could have made it if he wanted to... as he hands you your order of fries.

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.
