Everyone Loves a Good Love Song

Young, old, experienced or not, everyone loves love songs; they make you feel happy and give you that giddy teen feeling that so many people crave. There's only one problem with love songs: there are so many. How do you choose which one you want to dance to with your newlywed? To set as your relationship anthem? To make you feel better after a breakup? To try to help you narrow some down, here is a list of, in my opinion, 15 of the greatest love songs of all time.

15. The Luckiest - Ben Folds

Most lovey lyric:

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am the luckiest

14. I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden

Most lovey lyric:

I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound
A little more than crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you

13. Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg

Most lovey lyric:

I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come to
I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you

12. Collide - Howie Day

Most lovey lyric:

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

11. Come to Me - The Goo Goo Dolls

Most lovey lyric:

You and me we both got sins
And I don't care about where you've been
Don't be sad and don't explain
This is where we start again

10. Anyone Else but You - The Moldy Peaches

Most lovey lyric:

You are always tryin' to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else
But you

9. Better Place - Rachel Platten

Most lovey lyric:

But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along

8. Angels - The XX

Most lovey lyric:

You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
They would be as in love with you as I am

7. The Only Exception - Paramore

Most lovey lyric:

And that was the day I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling
You are the only exception

6. A Thousand Years, Pt. 2 (feat. Steve Kazee) - Christina Perri

Most lovey lyric:

The day we met, frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home for my heart

5. Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Most lovey lyric:

Laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you
And in the streets you run afree
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see

4. You and Me - Dave Matthews Band

Most lovey lyric:

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever, girl
And you know that we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

3. All I Want is You - U2

Most lovey lyric:

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

2. The Reason - Hoobastank


Most lovey lyric:

I've found a reason for me
To change how I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

1. Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley

Most lovey lyric (besides the whole song):

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
Cause I can't help falling in love with you

Of course, there are so many more amazing love songs out there, but these are just some of the greatest ones (in my opinion). So here, take this list and start discovering the power of the love song.

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.

"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.

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.
