15 Songs That Are So Much Better As Covers Performed By Country Artists

Live Nation

There is something about the voices of country boys — I'm unsure if it's their cowboy boots or way to swoon you with their southern accents but they are magical. Even if country music is not your cup of tea, traditional songs sang by popular country stars strike a match in everyone's heart.

Here's 15 songs that are so much better when covered with some country flair:

15. "Love Yourself" - Thomas Rhett (Justin Bieber)

Thomas Rhett's voice is just so soothing and sexy at the same time, it's amazing.

14. "Closer" - Dylan Scott (Chainsmokers)

The radio totally ruined this song but Dylan Scott was sure to come to the rescue.

13. "Want to Want Me" - Luke Bryan with Jason DeRulo (Jason DeRulo)

Obviously, we all know how quickly this blew up that it was performed at the CMT's but every time Luke sings "uh" my heart drops.

12. "Everybody" - Florida Georgia Line (Backstreet Boys)

Ladies, talk about ripping our hearts out, am I right? Ugh. Too good.

11. "Hold On, We're Going Home" - Dustin Lynch (Drake)

Some country flair on this Drake favorite makes me feel some kind of way...

10. "If I Were A Boy" - Reba McEntire (Beyoncé)

Reba has an iconic voice so mixed it with some Beyoncé beats — yeah, it's game-changing.

9. "Landslide" Dixie Chicks (Fleetwood Mac)

Bet you didn't even know the Dixie Chicks did not originally sing this song because they made it that much better.

8. "Royals" Craig Campbell (Lorde)

"We crave a different kind of buzz" and cue me melting when he sings these words

7. "You and I" Miranda Lambert (Lady Gaga)

Although the audio is not the best, changing the words out for her cool Kentucky guy just makes the words that much sweeter.

6. "Love Yourself" Dylan Scott (Justin Bieber)

Who would have thought so many people would have covered this song? "Oh baby you should go and love yourself" no thanks Dylan, I'll stick to loving you.

5. "Born This Way" Little Big Town (Lady Gaga)

I truly never understood the concept of following the banjos home until I heard Little Big Town play.

4. "Wagon Wheel" Darius Rucker (Ketch Secor)

I honestly did not know Darius Rucker himself did not come up with this song, and I'm assuming the same for you.

3. "Let Me Love You" Chris Lane (DJ Snake)

"You should let me love you?" Say no more, Chris.

2. "God Gave Me You" Blake Shelton (Dave Barnes)

Blake Shelton has the voice of an angel.

1. "Ride" Chase Rice (Ciara)

The feels on this song are ridiculous, you are all welcome for introducing this into your life.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
