The Wombats have released four albums since 2007, and although their sound has most definitely changed throughout the years, their lyrics have remained artistic and masterful. Here are 15 lyrics that I believe are among their best, from their first album down to their newest.

1. "Let's dance to Joy Division / and celebrate the irony / Everything is going wrong, / but we're so happy"

Artist: The Wombats Label: Roadrunner Records

2. "Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'? / I thought raves like these died in the 90s?  / The forest is breathing along with us tonight"

3. "Flowers might wilt when we walk past, / and self-help might help when it makes us laugh / Only finding questions in answers / You and I are just walking disasters"

This Modern Glitch.

4. "We're self imploding / under the weight of your advice / I wear a suitcase / under each one of my eyes"

5. "It was the perfect disease we had, / and in its absence lies a painful fact / We all need someone to drive us mad"

6. "I wanted this to work so much, / I drew up our plans on a chart / Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit / My character's strong, but my head is loose"

7. "I don't come here for the exclusivity / I just come here for the view / and the minuscule chance of some close proximity / or an awkward conversation with you / Yeah, that'd be cool"

8. "I tend to focus on the past and not the now / I'll be over this soon, / but some images adhere like super glue"

9. "Behind these metaphors / I want you literally / We crave the fiction when we need the truth"

10. "I like the way your brain works"

11. "I'll be your character with flaws tonight / Come a little closer, my firefly / You're not the only one who doesn't want to be alone tonight"

12. You're in the cherry cake and swimming in my wine / You're in the orange juice that I spill at halftime"

13. "I try to be human, / but that never works / I'm lost in a gift shop / with hours to burn"

14. "It's not much of a weekend, when there's one of me and none of you" 


"White Eyes" definitely tops it off as having the highest number of beautiful lines in just one song.

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.

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?

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.
