1. Get Lucky by Daughter (Daft Punk cover)

This haunting cover by Daughter gives a whole new vibe to the 2013 hit. Listen here!

2. Grenade by Nina Nesbitt (Bruno Mars cover)

Nina Nesbitt has a beautiful voice that gives her acoustic Bruno Mars cover a fresh feel. Check it out here!

3.Use Somebody by Paramore (Kings of Leon cover)

Let's be honest, Hayley Williams could sing anything and it would sound beyond awesome. Paramore's cover of "Use Somebody" is especially noteworthy. Listen to this BBC Live Lounge cover here.

4. Holy Grail/Counting Stars/Smells Like Teen Spirit by Little Mix (Jay-Z, One Republic and Nirvana cover)

Little Mix gets extra points on this one for covering not one, but three songs! Their mashup of Jay-Z, One Republic, and Nirvana will blow your mind. Give it a listen here!

This Lorde cover is just strange enough that it works. Completely unique and surprising, watch her kill it here.

7. I Can't Feel My Face by Alessia Cara (The Weeknd cover)

Alessia Cara has a lot of incredible covers, and this one is no exception! Listen here.

8. Do I Wanna Know by MS MR (Arctic Monkeys cover)

This cover is just as, if not more, spine-chilling as the original. Prepare to have your mind blown here.

9. Your Love by The Butchies (The Outfield cover)

This song doesn't have as much "jam out" factor as the original, but it makes up for it with a haunting element not found elsewhere. See what I mean here.

10. Riptide by Taylor Swift (Vance Joy cover)

This cover of "Riptide" will change your life. It's one of the best covers Taylor's done, and she did quite a few (remember the Speak Now tour?) Be amazed here.

11. Skinny Love by Birdy (Bon Iver cover)

A list of covers, and especially female covers, wouldn't be complete without this Birdy classic. If you haven't heard it yet, go listen immediately. Birdy's voice is perfectly suited to Bon Iver's bittersweet lyrics. Find it here.

This cover of the One Direction pop hit is so tender and romantic, you'll instantly fall in love with Gabrielle Aplin. Listen here.

13. Teenage Dirtbag by Mary Lambert (Wheatus cover)

Mary Lambert has a fantastic voice, and her cover of Wheatus' rock classic does not disappoint. Check it out here.

14. Hotline Bling by Kiana Brown (Drake cover)

This cover blew up on both Facebook and Youtube a few months ago. Even though it's only part of the popular Drake song, Brown's voice is one of the most beautiful ones on this list. Watch the original cut here, and check out her cover of the whole song on her Facebook here.

15. Sweater Weather by Kina Grannis (The Neighbourhood cover)

Kina Grannis' spin on this classic is the perfect cover to finish up this list. Catchy and cute, this isn't one to miss. Listen here!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
