"So Much More Than This" by Grace VanderWaal

"Tap your foot and listen in Ignore the world, let the music cave in Close your phone and breathe in the air You'll soon realize that there's something that is So much more than this"

"Our Time Is Here" by Camp Rock Cast

"There Will Be Time" by Mumford & Sons, Baaba Meal

"So open up my eyes to a new light I wandered 'round your darkened land all night But I lift up my eyes to a new high And indeed there would be time"

"Good As Hell" by Lizzo

"You know you a star, you can touch the sky I know that it's hard but you have to try"

"This Is The New Year" by A Great Big World

While this song may seem like I got lazy towards the end of the list, it perfectly describes the "new year, new me" mentality.

Some of my favorite lyrics are:

"And do not save this for tomorrow Embrace the past and you can live for now"

"Speak louder than the words before you And give them meaning no one else has found"

"Say everything you've always wanted Be not afraid of who you really are"

"This is the new year A new beginning"

Happy New Year! Take 2020 by the reigns and make it stand out from the rest. You only have 366 days to make your mark in this leap year, so go out and be the best possible version of yourself! Worst comes to worst, start preparing for 2021 now!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
