Top 30 Karaoke Songs You Should Be Singing

I am writing this article minutes before I am due to leave for my Thursday night routine—Karaoke at Miss Katie's Diner, a '50s-themed Milwaukee restaurant just a few blocks from my apartment. I haven't missed a Thursday in three months. Some things are just too great to skip out on. No degree of tiredness or number of tests could keep me from singin' my heart out. Mike and Jason tending bar, DJ Angel managing the influx of song requests coming her way, free food, excited amateur vocalists (if you can even call us that) and perhaps most important, really, really good music. God bless it. I love karaoke. I live for that adrenaline rush I get whenever Angel passes me the mic. To facilitate your karaoke, I have compiled a collection of the 30 best songs to jam to the next time you feel like making a drunken embarrassment of yourself or showcasing your raw, unadulterated talents. I challenge you to try them all. Oh, and hopefully I'll see you at Miss Katie's next Thursday.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
