28 Songs On The Perfect Random Playlist
The Atlantic

Imagine you are on the bike in the gym. You don’t want to listen to side conversations about pointless things you don’t care about, so you put your ear buds in for the next 45-minutes. You’re listening to Pandora on your phone, and you have it on shuffle, so any song that comes on next is completely random and by chance. It's like song roulette, if you think of it.

Are there certain songs you couldn’t stand so you press the skip button? Is it that Iggy Azalea song that’s constantly on the radio or that song by Kate Perry that’s been driven into the ground as a throwback?

Are there songs that you wish you could play over again that you’ve never heard before? Do they have a beat or rhythm that makes you want to pedal faster? Are they loud or are they soft lyrics and tones?

Whether it is 90s rock, dubstep, country or pop, everyone has his or her own favorite tastes in music. Some people, like myself, can’t pick a favorite genre. One second I’m listening to a country song about drinking on a beach, and the next I’m listening to a death metal band. Each song I listen to has a message within it that I connect with. In addition, they have a melody that soothes me for whichever mood I find myself in.

Sometimes I find myself in a country mood, other times it's an indie rock mood. It all depends on my thoughts and what I am doing that day.

But what if (dramatic pause) you put all those songs on shuffle on one playlist? Well, my friends, I have done just that. I have defied all laws of musical physics and broke down genre barriers to form the most random playlist thinkable.

Here it is: one of the most random lists of songs compiled on an Odyssey article. Strap yourself in folks … it’s going to be an interesting ride …

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.
