One of the best parts about coming back home from college is being able to drive again. If you are from a small town like I am, you know that the only thing to do is drive around blasting music with your best friends. Honestly... what's wrong with that? If you don't have some of these songs in your lineup, try adding them!

1. "Drops of Jupiter" by Train

A classic. Make sure you start strong with this one.

2. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

A fan favorite, everyone knows this one!

3. "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne

Or literally any song by her...

4. "Leavin'" by Jesse McCartney

The younger you is WAITING to sing this one.

5. "1985" by Bowling for Soup

Another absolute classic, kick anyone who groans at this one out of the car.

6. "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's

Not a scream-type but still deserves to be on that playlist!

7. "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys

HUGE BOY BAND FAN. Any song by them works!

8. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers

An absolute must, everyone knows this one.

9. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet

BEFORE YOU SCROLL PAST THIS ONE... listen to it! It will make you want to dance!

10. "I'm Already There" by Lonestar

A tear-jerker... you know we had to add some of those.

11. "Where is the Love?" by Black Eyed Peas

This is one that'll make you sing AND dance.

12. "Take a Bow" by Rihanna

A lot of songs by Rihanna work, but I had to choose just one.

13. "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown

Say what you want but old Chris Brown BOPS.

14. "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter

Oldie but wow... what a goodie!

15. "Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects

Remember when ur ex made you mad 4 years ago? Yeah, scream out your anger with this one.

Have a great time at home and sing your heart out!

"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.

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.

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.
