10 Ariana Grande Songs You Need to Listen To

I don't know about you, but almost every time I turn on my radio, I hear an Ariana Grande song. This girl has gone from performing in musicals to starring on Nickelodeon shows to selling out arenas. And she's only 23! By now everyone knows the lyrics to "Dangerous Woman," the hit single from Grande's latest album with the same title. Here are 10 songs by this powerful singer you need to listen to that aren't on the radio (yet).

1. "Tattooed Heart"

Grande goes old school in this '50s-style tune, singing about how she wants to go steady and be wrapped up in her boy's jacket like they did back then. Her vocals are strong, yet effortless, and you can't help but snap along to the rhythm.

2. "Be My Baby" (featuring Cashmere Cat)


This song is fun thanks to Grande's airy vocals and the upbeat melody. While physical aspects may not be the most important part of a relationship, Grande reminds us that they do still matter.

3. "Thinking Bout You"


This song can be interpreted a few different ways, so give it a listen and see what you think. Whatever meaning you pull from it, we can all agree that Grande's vocals are once again beautiful on this track.

4. "Popular Song" (with MIKA)


Grande has been known to sample quite a bit in her songs, and this one is no different. Using a line and melody from Wicked's "Popular," this song is catchy while being slightly humorous in a dark manner. Also, the video depicts karma at its finest.

5. "Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart"


Believe it or not, this song was written by One Direction's Harry Styles. Grande's vocals shine on this beautifully heartbreaking number about wanting someone but knowing you'll never be their first choice. Get the tissues out for this one.

6. "Bad Decisions"


One of my absolute favorite lines sung by Grande is in the bridge of this song. She's sassy and isn't afraid to speak her mind about how she doesn't care what others think of her and her relationships. All in all, this song is a banger.

7. "You Don't Know Me"


Grande tells off all the haters in this song about how the media may portray her differently than her true self. She reminds people of the old saying: "Until you walk a mile in my shoes, you don't know me."

8. "Touch It"


If you're looking for a song that builds and has fantastic melodies, you've found your match. "Touch It" has honest -- yet risque -- lyrics, again dealing with a relationship. Grande hits some signature high notes in the last chorus that are sure to give you goosebumps.

9. "Honeymoon Avenue"

"Honeymoon Avenue" is one giant metaphor for a relationship, describing the ups and downs of being with someone. Be sure to check out Grande's video for "Into You" to see a wink at this older song.

10. "Greedy"


This has song it all: catchy melody, overlapping vocals, fun lyrics, and inspiration from the past. You'll definitely find yourself belting -- well, at least trying to belt -- along with Grande by the end of this tune.

If you're already a fan or just became one after listening to these songs, be on the lookout for tickets and dates for Ariana Grande's upcoming tour, which is said to be taking place late 2016 through early 2017.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
