12 Songs That Will Make You Like Country Music
TBN

Country music gets a bad rep. It's rumored to be all about pick-up trucks, cheating ex-boyfriends (or girlfriends), and dirt roads. However, those of you dislike country music probably have yet to realize that a fair amount of Carrie Underwood songs are actually about murder.

Yep. So technically, if you're a Law & Order fan, there's no reason why you shouldn't like country music as well (just go with me here). Sure, there are some classic country songs about love and road trips and all that jazz, but there's also many songs in country music that are all about revenge (which is probably why I like country so much). Here are 12 songs that will show you what country music is really about and will convince you to give country artists a chance:

1. Two Black Cadillacs -- Carrie Underwood

There's no way I could talk about country music without mentioning this song. It tells the story of a wife and mistress who team up to kill the cheating husband.

2. Mama's Broken Heart -- Miranda Lambert

Another cheating boyfriend, another classic song.

3. Even If It Breaks Your Heart -- Eli Young Band

It's a song that's about hope and inspiration, not revenge or murder...Wow!

4. Picture To Burn -- Taylor Swift

Yeah, we're back to revenge. Also, those of you who haven't listened to Taylor Swift's first album are missing out.

5. Fancy -- Reba McEntire

I can't talk about country music without mentioning the classics.

6. Stupid -- Kacey Musgraves

It's 3 minutes of Kacey Musgraves singing about how stupid love is. Country music tells it like it is.

7. Before He Cheats -- Carrie Underwood

Possibly the most famous (or infamous?) country song. What better way to get revenge than ruining someone's car?

8. Better Man -- Little Big Town

This recent hit was penned by Taylor Swift and given to the band "Little Big Town." It's a brutally honest song that tells the story of the guy she could have stayed with if he was a better person.

9. Colder Weather -- Zac Brown Band

Country music has no problem calling people out, especially those who can't keep their promises.

10. Chocotaw Country Affair -- Carrie Underwood

In this song, a married couple goes on trial for murder and refuses to give each other up. It's like a "Law and Order" episode told in four minutes.

11. Blue Ain't Your Color -- Keith Urban

Another semi-optimistic song.

12. I'd Lie -- Taylor Swift

This unreleased song is old country T-Swift and probably one of her best.

Go fourth and find your inner Southerner, y'all! *cringes*

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.
