Bring Back the Classics

The 50s and 60s produced some of the best music and artist of all time, it's time to bring them back.

Bring Back the Classics

When I started my junior year of college, something was telling me one more to listen to Frank Sinatra. As I opened up my music player on my computer, and I typed his name in the search bar, I literally only knew two to three songs by him. I kept listening though, because there is just something about the music from the 50s and 60s that is just so enjoyable.

The real question is, why don’t people still listen to this kind of music? Why aren’t we showing kids what real music sounds like? I mean, I can’t be the only one who is sick and tired of hearing mainstream radio and artist singing/rapping about butts.

We need to bring back the classics, the music that made people dance and feel good, just as some songs do today. There are artist out there that we don’t even know about who sound like the next Sinatra and Dean Martin.

What songs should we bring back though? Here are some options:

“You Make Me Feel So Young” by Frank Sinatra

A classic form Sinatra, off of his 1956 album Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

"Ain't That A Kick in the Head" by Dean Martin

We also can't help love Martin's Christmas songs as well, but this song is one that makes us chuckle.

"It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Andy Williams

I had to include this, I mean, listen to his voice! No one has a voice like that.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong

Look at that smile! Armstrong's music just puts you in a happy mood, and his duet album with Ella Fitzgerald is pure magic.

"Feeling Good" by Nina Simone

Forget Michael Bublé's version, Simone's top them all.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
