The year 2015 was definitely an interesting year in music: with new artists such as Bryson Tiller and Halsey, and a great year for artists such as Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Future. Although there were catchy songs, some of them were so abused by the radio that the simple thought of a single lyric from the song is cringeworthy. Here are the top 10 most overplayed songs of 2015.

10. "Hello" by Adele


9. "Cheerleader" by OMI

The song was already annoying enough to begin with. Like, who even calls their significant other a "cheerleader?" Anyway, the song is about a guy who's contemplating whether or not to cheat on this "cheerleader" (which is a pretty messed up message for the kids, but hey, it's catchy). And then the radio played it over and over which made things even worse.


8. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

When your music don't work like it used to before. This song definitely got me thinking out loud, "why in the world is this song on again?" Sorry Ed, you have a nice voice, but this song really got me to switch stations as soon as this came on.


7. "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift

I tried to keep this list one song per artist. Otherwise this list would be 10 tracks from "1989." The "Shake it Off" hype died down by early 2015 and "Wildest Dreams" and "Bad Blood" did not really get big until later 2015. This song, "Blank Space" was the Taylor Swift song of 2015. And just like every Taylor Swift song, expect two things: to be overplayed and to be about an ex-lover. This song accomplished both of those attributes tenfold.


6. "The Hills" by The Weeknd

Like I said for the previous song, I tried to keep this list one song per artist. Sure "Earned It" and "Can't Feel My Face" were both indeed overplayed, but this is the one that did it for me. The moment I would hear the very first note of this song I would immediately feel the blood boiling in my veins and my hand instantly jumping to change the station. Congratulations radio, you ruined an amazing artist for me.


5. "Hotline Bling" by Drake

If this was a list for worst music videos of 2015 then this would be at the No. 1 spot. But besides the fact that Drake cannot dance, and the video did not match the music, this song became overplayed really quickly. With an overload of memes, references, parodies, quotes from the song, etc., it was all over social media and the radio was playing it every possible second they could get. I really hope Drake canceled his phone service by now.


4. "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap

I almost did not want to include this song because I used to get so hyped whenever this used to come on. But I feel like the fact that I used to enjoy this song and now hate it is a better reason for me to include it on the list. After a while, I realized this song felt like it would never end as the song just consists of him repeating the same lyrics over and over again. In fact, he does this with every single song on his album. I can't be the only one who thinks that all of Fetty Wap's songs sound exactly the same.


3. "Watch Me" by Silento

I think it's funny when Silento goes, "You already know who it is!" when no one had a clue who this Silento character was, and this would probably be his only big song, ever. This is the "Gangnam Style" of 2015. Except "Gangnam Style" was somewhat catchy. This mess consists of a squeaky voiced artist repeating 10 different dance moves and repeating the same lyrics (he manages to say "watch me" 84 times in three minutes). The only reason it got big was because they play it at every event now because they think it's "cute" when everyone is doing the whip and nae nae. For a guy named Silento, he definitely wasn't silent.


2. "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson

You know this song word-for-word by now. This song would brighten my morning and help me look forward to a great day. I used to feel nothing but happiness while listening to this song. Now I feel everything but happiness. I think I heard this song on four stations at once before. Don't play this song near me unless you're ready to suffer the consequences.


1. "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa

The death of Paul Walker touched the hearts of many and no one can say the ending of "Furious 7" was not emotional. This song was dedicated to his death, and that is something I can respect. What I can't respect is how often the radio played this song. It was overplayed. Like really freaking unbelievably overplayed. Not only was this song abused on the radio, but literally every source of auditory media and it got annoying very quickly. And Wiz Khalifa? Really? Of all people to use to dedicate a song to someone's death you use Wiz Khalifa? This song for sure deserves the No 1. spot.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
