If you have been following my past few articles, you have probably noticed by now that I have a strong appreciation for music, life lessons and life lessons that can be found through music. I love the idea that there is a song that can explain any situation better than words can. I love the idea that music can help people make it through tough situations. I love the idea that music can fill a void. With that being said, I have narrowed it down to my top lyrics by a few of my favorite artists that help me through my everyday life.

"Let It Go" - James Bay.



"Leave it to the breeze."

Let it go.


"In Time" - Kris Allen.



"It's in the shattered places we first see the light."

There is always some type of good that can come out of every bad situation.


"Lego House" - Ed Sheeran.



"I'm going to pick up the pieces and build a lego house - if things go wrong we can knock it down."

It's OK to start over.

"Looks Like Love" - NEEDTOBREATHE.



"Breeze can only be when she overcomes the heat. Our hearts can only shake when there's risk that they could break."

Don't run - take chances.


"Disconnected" - 5 Seconds of Summer.



"Turn off the radio, those late night TV shows. Hang up the telephone and just be here with me."

Live in the moment.


"Time Will Come" - Kris Allen.



"I'm such a long way from where I want to be but I keep on moving on because I know my time will come."

The future is a beautiful place, even though it may not seem like it right now.


"The Sound" - The 1975.



"And we left things to protect my mental health."

Your sanity is the most important thing. Do what is best for you.


"Incomplete" - James Bay.



"The world will turn and we'll grow, we'll learn how to be incomplete."

Sometimes, it's OK not to be OK. You can still make it through.


"Jennie" - Parachute.



"Time is a straight line and life always goes on."

This too shall pass.


"I Don't Wanna Be" - Gavin DeGraw.



"I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately. All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind."

Be the best version of yourself, every day.

"Never Ending Circles" - CHVRCHES.



"Cut off - I'll go my way if I'm going at all."

Again I say, do what is best for you.


"Hold On" - Phillip Phillips.



"Life is too short to stop and stare at the blank page that shows your way."

Don't stress when things don't go as planned.

"Scars" - James Bay.



"We live through scars this time but I've made up my mind - we can't leave us behind anymore."

Don't leave yourself and your feelings behind.

"Heartbeat" - The Fray.



"Don't look back - not for anything."

Keep moving forward.


"Headphones" - Matt Nathanson.



"I've got all I need to feel invincible with my headphones on."

Music helps.

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?
