If you’ve ever listened to any of Kacey Musgraves’ music, you know that she has a clever way of writing about life. In such writing she hints at elementary ideologies that could really simplify how you live if you listen closely.

Here are 7 life lessons in the form of Kacey Musgraves lyrics

“You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, so you might as well just do, whatever you want”

Many of us worry too much about pleasing others with our own decisions but the simple truth is that you can’t please everyone, so you should work on making yourself happy first.

“Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy”

It’s human nature to be interested in the lives of others, and want to help or give advice, but sometimes our advice just isn’t wanted or needed so we have to learn to stay out of other people’s business and worry about our own issues.

“Family is family, in church or in prison, You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em… Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family”

Everyone can be driven crazy by their families but they are the only one that you get. No matter what, they will always be there for you, and we should all appreciate them more.

“Nobody's everybody's favorite, so you might as well just make it how you please, ‘Cause you can't be everybody's cup of tea”

We all like to be liked by others, but it’s not really possible to be liked by everyone. Sometimes people just don’t get along and that’s okay, and we just need to try to stop getting hung up on the idea of being liked by everyone we meet.

“I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial, Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't, I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't”

It’s hard to be yourself sometimes, especially when it’s not going to make you popular, but it’s always best to remain who you are.

“I'm happy with what I got, 'cause what I got is all I need, Just cause it don't cost a lot, don't cost a lot, don't mean it's cheap”

There is value is what you have and what you love, even if they are not the fanciest or most extravagant things. If they make you happy, that is all that is important.

“If you're ever gonna find a silver lining, It's gotta be a cloudy day”

As much as we’d all like for all our days to be good days, they can’t be. You have to have bad days so you can really appreciate the good ones.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

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.
