Later Years of College as described by Shrek 2

Amoeba

Often times I live my life and imagine what my soundtrack would be. Other times, I listen to soundtracks and they really define what life is right now. The other night, one of my friends/roommates and I were having some music education and I stumbled upon the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I've never had an album so perfectly describe the second half of college. Shrek is life. Enjoy.

1. 'Accidentally In Love' by Counting Crows

Counting Crows knew what they were talking about. We all also know there's that one person you fall for even though you know you shouldn't.

2. 'Holding Out For A Hero' by Frou Frou

When you know you deserve someone special and you are ok with waiting for them. (The Frou Frou Version)

3. 'Changes' by Butterfly Boucher

Friend groups change, life changes, plans change; basically, everything you ever thought would happen just isn't quite what you planned for.

4. 'As Lovers Go' (Ron Fair Remix) by Dashboard Confessional

You're talking about when I order pizza or treat myself with Insomnia Cookies right?

5. 'Funkytown' by Lipps Inc.

Deciding that even though we are more serious upperclassmen now, fun nights are still deserved. Get that Funk on.

6. 'I'm on My Way' by Rich Price

...to insanity, to the bar, to class, the options are endless and all appropriate. Or, this is our response to free food.

7. 'I Need Some Sleep' by Eels

Every. College. Student. Ever.

8. 'Ever Fallen In Love' by Pete Yorn

This one is a classic used to defer concerned friends when you make stupid decisions. It's ok to be dumb sometimes.

9. 'Little Drop of Poison' by Tom Waits

What group members in group projects need. Or that professor that is as utter pain. Or just the people who are too obnoxious to handle. Its quite the relatable song.

10. 'You're So True' by Joseph Arthur

When you meet someone who matches your awkward weirdness.

11. 'People Ain't no Good' by Nick Cave

When you go through a best friend breakup. Who are people anyway?!

12. 'Fairy Godmother Song' by Jennifer Saunders

When you go out on the town to try to meet people, or just impress someone in class, and your friend gives you a makeover.

13. 'Livin La Vida Loca' by Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas

How we all feel by the end of the semester.

14. 'Holding Out for a Hero' by Jennifer Saunders

The best remix ever. 'Where have all the good men gone?!'

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
