Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of some of the new music. I quite liked the Jonas Brothers' new song "Sucker" even though I was not a Jo Bros fan back in their Disney days. However, there is just nothing like the classic rock songs of the past. The awesome electric guitar solos are unrivaled, and it just doesn't seems like today's lyricists can even come close to "For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder," or "Once I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion." Here are ten classic rock songs that will always be better than today's music.

1. "Long Cool Woman" by The Hollies

2. "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas

3. "Take it Easy" by The Eagles

4. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles

5. "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band

6. "American Woman" by The Guess Who

7. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses

8. "Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival

9. "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

10. “For What it's Worth” by Buffalo Springfield

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
