I've been listening to singer/songwriter, Lissie, since my junior year of high school. I saw one of her music videos on VH1 before I went to school, and I was instantly hooked on her music. She has an indie, folk, acoustic, and rock vibes going on throughout her songs. Her music has helped me get through bad times, sad times, and always the happy times. Many of my friends haven't heard of her, so I feel it's necessary to make a list of my top 15 favorite songs by Lissie.

15. "Hero"

This song is definitely something you want to listen to in your car. I would categorize this as road trip music.

14. "Mother"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUmw2iYgFbs

Originally sung by Danzig. The guitar in the beginning of this cover is haunting in the best way possible. This is, dare I say, better than the original?

13. "Oh Mississippi"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623ln15-5fo

Switching from guitar to piano, this song literally gives me chills every time I hear it.

12. "Sleepwalking"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R5h_6fdv1c

This song has a pretty good beat, although the lyrics are a bit sad. But it's the kind of sad most people can relate to. Most of her music is like this in my opinion.

11. "Little Lovin"

This is a song that you you instantly sing the chorus when you hear it the first time. The occasional little bell in the music helps the song perk up too. It almost has a southern music feel.

10. "Wedding Bells"

Lyrics are a bit sad, but the tune balances it out. Definitely on my Lissie playlist!

9. "Go Your Own Way"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OltcXMV-9Vk

This Fleetwood Mac cover is absolutely amazing! I love how she slowed down the song. Still just as good to listen to as the original.

8. "Can't Take It Back"

This is a song I sing as loud as I can in the car. This is song to listen to if you're thinking about exes and old friends.

7. "When I'm Alone"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G0_eN36QVc

This is the song that got me loving Lissie to begin with! This is the music video I saw back in high school as I was getting ready for school. This song gave me a music style I enjoy.

6. "Hold On, We're Going Home"

Yes, this is a Drake cover! And yes, it's good! Trust me on this!

5. "Further Away (Romance Police)"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0FAPa7lNss

An upbeat song about a guy treating a girl wrong, and the girl is being given advice. It's great! The guitar solo though!

4. "Pursuit of Happiness"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQMJCOT2wlQ

Again, another amazing cover! Originally by Kid Cudi, this cover is amazing. It's spot on!

3. "Shameless"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vzZcbH39E

This song is almost indie-rock? Definitely an anthem for people who are, well shameless.

2. "Everywhere I Go"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGDe9JsQWE

This song is a song you listen to if you want chills! Her voice is breathtaking.

1. "Don't You Give Up On Me"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQevK_bUV9g

This is my number one song. To me, the lyrics create beautiful imagery. Very motivational for anyone that feels they're being given up on.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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. 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
