What is there even to say when another light goes out from this world? This list of some of my favorite Linkin Park songs is a tribute to Chester Bennington, who touched many lives through his music over the years of his life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Chester.

12. Numb

This, of course, is one of the many highly popular songs that come to mind when one thinks of Linkin Park. It was probably the one that captured my attention and turned it over to Linkin Park's music throughout the years.

Favorite Lyrics: Can't you see that you're smothering me / Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

11. Somewhere I Belong

I believe that this song is widely relatable. Everyone is just looking for the place they fit into the puzzle.

Favorite Lyrics: I wanna heal / I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

10. What I've Done


Favorite Lyrics: I'll face myself / To cross out what I've become

9. New Divide

Favorite Lyrics: As time began to blur / Like a startling sign / That fate had finally found me

8. In Pieces

This song so well describes a relationship that I've been involved in. It just spoke to me in ways that no other song ever could.

Favorite Lyrics: There's truth in your lies / Doubt in your faith / All I've got is what you didn't take

7. Talking to Myself

Favorite Lyrics: All the walls that you keep building / All this time that I spent chasing / All the ways that I keep losing you / The truth is, you turn into someone else / You keep running like the sky is falling

6. Sharp Edges


Favorite Lyrics: Sharp edges have consequences, now / Every scar is a story I can tell

5. Iridescent

Favorite Lyrics: Remember all the sadness and frustration / And let it go. Let it go

4. Heavy

Favorite Lyrics: I know I'm not the center of the universe / But you keep spinning round me just the same

3. Roads Untraveled


Favorite Lyrics: Give up your heart left broken / And let that mistake pass on

2. One More Light

Favorite Lyrics: Who cares if one more light goes out / Well I do

1. Leave Out All the Rest

I used to fall asleep every night listening to this song. It has been my all-time favorite for quite some time now.

Favorite Lyrics: Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learn to hide so well / Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
