My Favorite Lady Gaga Songs of All Time

In the wake of her recent release of Stupid Love, I provide to you a list of what I think are her best songs of all time.

Listed below, in no particular order, are some of my favorites for their own merit.

"Shallow" 2018

This song will always have a special place in my heart. I cried when I first heard this song. I loved the movie, and just everything about it! "A Star is Born" really offered a true glimpse of what Lady Gaga really was capable of artistically speaking. Bradley Cooper, although his part in the song appears needed, is not all that necessary. Shallow will always be on the top of my list!

"Born This Way" 2011

"Born This Way" is at the top of my list due to the fact I have related so hard to this song. From my coming out experience to even living life as it is now, I get emotional. The song is all about living your life and being happy, and no one should be able to change it. Such a simple message but outstanding artistry.

"Million Reasons" 2016

You don't even have to give me a million reasons to like this song. It's so simplistic and the message is powerful. More often than not, we find ourselves loving someone even though they hurt us. It's hard to let that go, and this is like a band-aid for that wound.

"Speechless" 2009

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7HvURBhMGE

I like this song a lot because I feel like it proved Lady Gaga had potential beyond just that normal "Today's Hits" artist. This song, although it has mixed reviews from critics, it has such a powerful message. She literally wrote the song to plea her father to undergo open heart surgery. It feels so sincere.

"Bad Romance" 2009

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I

It was this song that got me hooked on her as an artist. "Bad Romance", in my opinion, helped catapult her to be seen as such a potent force to be reckoned with in the music industry. She became an international superstar and I'm sure she looks back at this song very positively.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
