6 Classic Rock Songs For Millennials
Keith Nelson

Although music has changed in styles and variations over the years, there is one thing that has remained the same, it's message. It can express the deepest of emotions like love or telling a story. My taste in music spreads between a wide variety of genres. With classic rock being on the top of my playlist lately, I present to the millennials some of the best songs your parents use to turn the stereo up to.

1."More Than a Feeling"- Boston

A romantic lover that has more than a feeling about the girl he loves. You can almost hear him as he slips away with her in the music.

2. "Rumors"- Fleetwood Mac

Okay, so this is actually an entire album, but every song is worth a listen. A product of emotional turmoil these classic lyrics speak of heartbreak and betrayal through a uniquely individual sound.

3. "Fortunate Son"- Creedence Clearwater Revival

For those free spirits rebelling against "the system" this song is full of protest against the government and the rules of law.

4. "Bohemian Rhapsody"- Queen

An internal struggle of someone’s mind gone mad with despair, this song will take you through the vast emotional galaxy of the human mind.

5. "Hotel California"- Eagles

Speaking of the vices of human kind, Eagles take on a culture of excess in California and America.

6. "Dream On"- Aerosmith

Live for today and dream on for tomorrow, this song makes you question just what it is like to get old and how one becomes old. Perfect, for millennials as we search for our path in life and "dream on" for the best in tomorrow.

So take a moment, open your playlist, and discover the music that is still speaking volumes today.

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.
