My Grandma's Top Ten Songs From Her Teenage Years

Ashley Fisher

My grandma has always told me music is the gateway to a persons heart. Considering the fact that she grew up listening to Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, I can see why she truly believes that. Ever since I can remember, I have been listening to 50s and 60s music. I remember her always playing You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra on our radio and watching her slow dance around the living room with my grandfather. Or singing her old music in the car while she was driving me to school early in the morning. This made me realize that the rap and pop music I grew up with isn't the only so-called 'good music' around. Music has been around for hundreds of years, so here's a little taste of what we would call, 'grandma music'.

That's Life - Frank Sinatra

At Last - Etta James

I'll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday

Grandma's Hand - Bill Withers

I'll Never Smile Again - Frank Sinatra

Please, Please, Please - James Brown

Blue Suede Shoes- Elvis Presley

Young At Heart - Frank Sinatra

Someone to Watch Over Me - Ella Fitzgerald

You Make Me Feel So Young - Frank Sinatra

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
