10 Song Lyrics About Success That Will Motivate You In 2017
Respect

If you're reading this, you're probably in college and are being faced with an uncertain future. This uncertainty can be absolutely terrifying if you're like me: passionate. I dream about my future and the possibility of major success in my field. However, success is far from easy. But with some of these tips and tricks from the music industry's finest, you'll be on your way to a great career and fulfilling life. From Kanye West to Lady Gaga, you're about to receive a lifetime of knowledge.

1. "Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper."

Song: "Formation" by Beyonce

Bey always knows how to kill 'em, and she's right: be kind and show those who told you, "no," that you are more than capable of accomplishing your goals. Money talks, so you don't even have to belittle yourself and confront your haters

2. "The competition, I don't really listen."

Song: "Starboy" by The Weeknd

The Weeknd really knows what he's talking about as far as confidence goes. To be successful, doing you is the best possible strategy. Competition is one thing, but what you have is so much more special than anyone else. Keep perfecting your craft, and you'll get places.

3. "F*ckboys rather me not even breathin'.'"

Song: "Alright" by Logic (feat. Big Sean)

Big Sean lays it out pretty clear. There will always be people hoping and praying you fail, but don't you dare believe them. You'll be fine without them putting you down, trust me.

4. “I live for the nights that I can’t remember, with the people that I won’t forget.”

Song: "Show Me A Good Time" by Drake

This line is pretty important. Live for experience and the memories you make with your friends (or lack thereof). Life is pretty short, so why not make it worth while with the people that make you the happiest.

5. "Chase anything you have the passion to do, only a dream 'til it happens to you."

Song: "Opportunity Cost" by G-Eazy

If you have a passion, don't waste that energy inside yourself. Work at it, and you can make a life out of that passion. If you're good at it, never do that talent for free. Chase your passions and the kickback will come eventually. I promise.

6. “Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.”

Song: "A Dream" by Jay-Z (feat. Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G.)

Said by one of the most iconic businessman in the world. This truth rings loud and clear: no one is like you and doesn't have your talent. Shape yourself, your image, and your talent, then use it wisely. You know yourself better than anyone else and can create an image that will bring you success.

7. "Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith."

Song: "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga

In life, you'll meet how many roadblocks that will make you want to quit. The moral of the story: bad things happen, but life will always move forward whether you want it to or not. You will be given a million reasons to quit, but never quit on a dream that you have a chance of making a reality.

8. "F*ck a wedding ring, I bought a necklace."

Song: "X" by 21 Savage and Metro Boomin

This will speak to anyone looking to fulfill their own dream rather than a societal expectation. Everyone has their own idea of a successful life, and this one in particular is certain: you don't need a partner to complete yourself, you can do that on your own.

9. “And I’ll just blame everything on you, at least you know that’s what I’m good at.”

Song: "Runaway" by Kanye West

In the song West admits to being a bad boyfriend to his partner. Being honest with yourself is step one to being successful. No matter if it's being honest about your past, your talent, or your dreams, you won't get anywhere in life until you admit the truth to yourself.

10. "Never waste a hoe's time, bitch I'm on my own time."

Song: "Low Life" by Future (feat. The Weeknd)

Again, if you want to get closer to success, don't waste yours or anyone else's time. There is too much at stake in order to accomplish your goals and distractions help no one. Do you, and don't let anyone else keep you from your future success.

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.
