A Playlist From The iPod Of A Middle Schooler In 2013

My taste in music has always been all over the place, dipping into wildly different genres and spanning from about eight decades. For the past few years I've had a Spotify account, which has given me the luxury of having song or artist recommendations and having a limitless library of music at the touch of my finger tips. Back in 2013, however, I did not have a music streaming account nor did I care to discover new or unheard songs. I was completely content with my taste in music stemming from the covers that my brothers band played every weekend, pop radio stations, my obsession with One Direction, viral Vine songs, and Dad's rock n' roll barbecue playlist. Here are 25 of the songs that were on my iPod in 2013.

1. "Some Nights" - fun.

2. "Holy Grail" - JAY-Z, Justin Timberlake

3. "Royals" - Lorde

4. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles

5. "Gas Pedal" - Sage The Gemini, Iamsu!

8. "Treasure" - Bruno Mars

9. "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)" - One Direction

10. "Thrift Shop (feat. Wanz)" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Wanz

11. "Wannabe" - Spice Girls

12. "Electric Feel" - MGMT

13. "I Knew You Were Trouble" - Taylor Swift

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.
