Everybody needs some old, some new, and even "borrowed" music to jam out to.

From the newest hits, to the old jams that will make us sentimental, and even the "borrowed" songs remade into spectacular covers by today's top artists, enjoy this roundup of some of the songs you need to get you through the month of April.

1. "Lost in Japan"- Shawn Mendes

Shawn has been hinting to a new album release with his social media posts, and this only makes sense after the release of two new singles within the past two weeks. First, he released "In My Blood" and then this song, "Lost In Japan". Both songs are incredible, and are perfect for a long car ride.

2. "Contra"- Logic

Bobby Tarantino II is an ode to "mixtape Logic" and his culture as Bobby rose to fame. Shortly after releasing this album, him and his wife (Jessica Andrea, pictured on the album cover) announced their separation after two years of marriage. While the whole album features feel-good songs, "Contra" has proven to be the perfect song to workout to.

3. "Walk on Water"- Thirty Seconds To Mars

Although I've never been an entirely huge Thirty Seconds to Mars fan, this album won me over. Jared Leto and his band decided to make an album about the American dream and the concept of our country today, and "America" is the product of just that. ("Walk on Water" is controversial, empowering, and pure greatness.)

4. "Your Song"- Lady Gaga

Revamp: The Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin is one of the best things we've received in April so far. Some of our favorite artists collaborated on a reimagining album of Elton John & Bernie Taupin's greatest works. My personal favorite is Lady Gaga's rendition of "Your Song", but you can catch Coldplay, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith, and Miley Cyrus on the album too.

5. "Pray"- Sam Smith (feat. Logic)

Everybody needs a little (or a lot, if you're me) Sam Smith in their lives. This collaboration remix with Logic features the rapper singing over a bluesy-guitar as opposed to his traditional beats, which adds an interesting twist to Sam Smith's emotional ballad.

6. "Vincent"- Ellie Goulding

Released at the beginning of February 2018, Ellie Goulding's newest single gives us a beautiful cover of Don McLean's iconic song tribute to Vincent van Gough, "Vincent". Her beautiful acoustic-guitar accompanied rendition is exactly what you need before you go to bed, or just to unwind after a stressful day.

7. "Want You Back"- 5 Seconds of Summer

This song has our inner middle-school-girl personality coming out in full force. This boyband has us in our feels and dancing in the kitchen at the same time. A job well done, 5SOS.

8. "Knock You Down"- Keri Wilson, Kanye West, Ne-Yo

Obviously there has to be a throwback (or two, or three?) on your playlist, and this song is one of them. It makes for a perfect pick-me-up on days when you just need to jam in the shower or the car.

9. "Gravity"- Sara Bareilles

There's always that one song on the playlist that makes you want to cry your eyes out (in a good way?)... and Sara Bareilles does just that with her song "Gravity". Again, another classic song that just gets better with time.

10. "When Love Takes Over"- David Guetta (feat. Kelly Rowland)

Since the latter of this list has consisted of some serious sentimental vibes, it only makes sense to reminisce on the iconic Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. 8 years later, and this song is just as good as the first time I've heard it. Play it while you workout or clean the house to make things a little more fun!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
