10 Songs That'll Take You To A Whole New World
Natalie Burr

Have you ever listened to a song and found yourself lost in its lyrics and rhythms? Here is a list of ten songs that I play when I feel like being brought into another world. So put in your headphones, plug in your twinkly lights, lay down and just listen.

1. "Gooey" by Glass Animals

My favorite lyric: "You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes."

2. "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra

My favorite lyric: "By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top. I climbed the tree to see the world."

3. "Car Radio" by Twenty-One Pilots

My favorite lyric: The whole song is freakin' lyrically beautiful. But if I had to choose: "Faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think and for us to think is to be alive and I will try with every rhyme to come across like I am dying to let you know you need to try to think."


4. "Bloodflood pt. II" by alt-J

My favorite lyric: "Silent knife, unholy knife. I've fallen for the black outside my window."


5. "Technicolor Beat" by Oh Wonder

My favorite lyric: "I feel safe in the 5am light."

6. "Blue Spotted Tail" by Fleet Foxes

My favorite lyric: "Why is life made only for to end? Why do I do all this waiting then?"

7. "Broadripple is Burning" by Margot and the Nuclear So & So's


My favorite lyric: "And don't fucking move, 'Cause everything you thought you had will go to shit. We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that."

Note: I prefer the acoustic version.

8. "Work Song" by Hozier

My favorite lyric: "No grave can hold my body down. I'll crawl home to her"


9. "Youth" by Daughter

My favorite lyric: "And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones. 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone. We're setting fire to our insides for fun. Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home, it was a flood that wrecked this home."

10. "Fall Creek Boys Choir" by James Blake and Bon Iver

My favorite lyric: "Daring on the peak, telling on the teeth. I've been down to the open road. I'll wait for you, you know. And we both end up alone And if only we could have known."


Here's an extra one cause I like you so much...

11. "Warm On A Cold Night" by Honne

My favorite lyric: "And I can’t help but wonder just how we ended up alright. And I love you like no other. And this has never felt so right"

By the way, this is in no particular order. Just enjoy.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
