As many of you know, I love acoustic versions of songs. I love it when an artist strips down a very upbeat song and makes it sound completely different from how it sounded on an album or on the radio. I also think it shows true talent and artistry when a singer or band performs acoustically. There is no room for error when a song is completely stripped down; every listener can hear any flaws the performance may have, and that's why I love a great acoustic song. I also love to put acoustic versions on study playlists because they are so relaxing to me. There are many artists that perform acoustically on occasion and there are a lot of songs that are performed acoustically, these twenty are just some of my favorites.

1. "Let It Go," By James Bay

2. "Scars," by James Bay

3. "If You Want To Be In Love," by James Bay

Ok, I know what you may be thinking. This is just going to be an article on James Bay, but I promise you it is not. I just love his music, and his voice acoustically is to die for.

4. "Have Faith In Me," by A Day To Remember

5. "Home," by Phillip Phillips

6. "Tattoo," by Hillary Duff

7. "Gone, Gone, Gone," by Phillip Phillips

8. "Take Your Time," By Sam Hunt

9. "Make You Miss Me," by Sam Hunt

10. "Up," by Olly Murs Ft. Demi Lovato

11. "Thinking Out Loud," by Ed Sheeran

12. "Give Me Love," by Ed Sheeran

13. "Check Yes Juliet," by We The Kings

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
