Later Years of College as described by Shrek 2

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?!'

Being single can be great and awful at the same time. Yeah, it's awesome to have time to yourself to figure out who you are and make your own decisions. It would also be nice to have someone to go through life with, but it needs to be the right person. I haven't found that person yet and here's a few reasons why.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
