If You've Been To Young Life, You Know These Are The 11 Best Songs To Scream At Club

It's not how well you sing, it's how loud.

If You've Been To Young Life, You Know These Are The 11 Best Songs To Scream At Club
Cooper Watt

One of the greatest times of the year is coming up for many people, Young Life Fall Weekend. In honor of my upcoming trip to Windy Gap, here are the 11 greatest songs to sing at club. One quick disclaimer, only one song per artist was allowed.

1. "Love Story"

Guys, take your shirts off. Girls, go nuts. Many Swift songs could've cracked this list, but "Love Story" is the pinnacle of her greatness. Beware of making this song a medium song in your club flow, it gets as hype as any fast song I've ever seen performed.

2. 'I Want It That Way"

Somehow, the Backstreet Boys have transcended the era of 2000s boy-bands and become immortal at Young Life club. This song has everything you want at club from the call/response refrain to the super long note in the bridge.

3. "Free Fallin"

Some people sing it. Some people scream the last line of every verse. Some really awesome and totally not annoying people yell "LIVING IN RESEDA" for the rest of the song. Sometimes the whole song gets thrown into a mashup with other classics like "The Fresh Prince Theme." Whatever way you slice it, "Free Fallin" is a club staple.

4. "The Climb"

Many of you might argue this is too high but I recently heard this unironically described as "The song of our generation." Everyone loves a slow build that leads to an explosion of energy. I'll tell you one thing, I'm definitely upset if they don't sing this at camp the club after the hike.

5. "I'll Be"

A prime example of club taking a decent song and making it better. Leaning back at the refrain is a great gimmick and you know you will be competing with all your friends to see who can yell "words that you SAIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDD" the longest.

6. "Sweet Caroline"

Singing "Sweet Caroline" at club is definitely the only time I'm ok with co-opting Red Sox culture. Every kid has a smile in their face when the group starts touching hands. The "BAH BAH BAH" is just icing on the cake of greatness.

7. "Don't Stop Believing"

While this song always goes hard, it's at its peak if performed the last day of camp. All the emotions of camp will stir up as you scream together for one last club. Steve Perry is an American treasure.

8. "Breakaway"

I don't know if it's just me and my friend Griffin who would put this inside the top 10 or if it's everyone, but I don't care. This song is absolute perfection, and I'm kind of mad at myself for not putting it higher on this list, but I'm a man of the people.

9. "Lean On Me"

Alright, everyone in the crowd put your arms around one another for this one. An iconic song that is elevated when sung with 600 people. It took me many times going to camp in middle school for me to realize the opposite of need was elbow because need sounds like knee.

10. "I Won't GIve Up"

The fast songs get kids riled up but what we really love are the slow, emotional ballads. I would never endorse Jason Mraz for anything unless it was a list of songs for club. The real question is, can you yell the bridge without taking a breath?

11. "500 Miles"

I could've ended this list with a lot of different songs, but if you've looked at the list, it's the songs with great call and responses that really stick. Honestly, this song isn't that good, but how could I not give credit to these Scottish twins for improving music at club? Thank you for your service.

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. 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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
