Florence + the Machine is a phenomenal artist that has a variety of different songs with different meanings. The beauty of Florence Welch's voice is encapsulating and striking. Her ability to hit a spectrum of notes is unbelievable.

The beats and instrumentals to her songs are equally as interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Out of all of their songs, these are ones I plucked out that I think could be deemed their most emotional.

1. Heavy In Your Arms

When this song was first announced, Florence stated it's about the weight of love. This romantic piece can be heard in the movie Eclipse. Her voice causes me to feel the heaviness of the love in the movie's plot.

2. Seven Devils

Florence says that Ceremonials is an "ecstatic exorcism". It constantly reveals thoughts of self-doubt, guilt, pain, morals, and being sad; a huge battle of self-control.

3. Kiss With A Fist

This song may seem like it's about domestic abuse on the surface, but in reality, it's an imaginary chaos scenario Florence wrote about when she was 17. It's all metaphorical, but it's about a relationship that's very destructive that both characters enjoy. This is an emotional topic for many and this song reflects it.

4. What The Water Gave Me

According to genius.com, this song, in particular, is inspired by Virginia Woolf's suicide. She died by drowning when visiting a country house in 1941. A huge image that Florence discusses is going to a river with a pocketful of stones. This image is sung very clearly throughout the song. It's also influenced by the Lo que el agua me dio painting by Frida Kahlo.

5. Never Let You Go

"Never Let You Go" by Florence + The Machine is a song about surrender in regards to giving in, an act of devotion. The narrator is surrendering to passion and/or desire and doesn't ever want to be let go, regardless of what other people think.

6. Ship To Wreck

"Ship To Wreck" was written about breaking the things you love the most. It's easy to be self-destructive and sometimes things are made to be broken, destroyed, ended, etc. This song is a reflection of that and I think this is something we as humans do far too often. This is definitely a song people can relate to.

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.
