Forever Jams

Put on your blue suede shoes and take a moon walk across Abby Road as we stroll through these artists.

Forever Jams

Everyone has that one band that regardless of how old they are you'll blast any of their songs and sing at the top of your lungs.

Music connects us across generations and countries. There are artists out there that no matter what, everyone is singing along to. They're classic and everyone's favorite jams.

This is a celebration of artists that never go out of style.

The Beatles.

The original British invasion, step aside One Direction. You can't make a classics list without the Beatles. I have never meet another human being that can't sing-a-long with at least one Beatles song. Live on Beatlemania.


Elvis.

I contemplated leaving the King of Rock and Roll off the list, but how could anyone leave his scandalous hips behind. Most importantly, my mother may have disowned me if I did leave him off. No fear here, the King is truly a classic and lives on in the many Elvis impersonators. You can't help falling in love with him.


Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons.

The British Invasion couldn't hold back the Four Seasons or Frankie Vallie's voice. The bowling alley inspired name along with being friends with an Italian mobster makes the Four Seasons a whirlwind of a group. Their rise to fame is captured in musical and film form as "Jersey Boys."


Michael Jackson.

No list is complete without the King of Pop and his fresh moves. He is an iconic and a global figure that revolutionized the pop industry and Hollywood. He broke all of our hearts in 2009.


Fleetwood Mac.

Oh, Fleetwood Mac and their many trials and tribulations as a band. Their lives bleed into their music especially with the album "Rumors."I also couldn't imagine a more iconic album to represent them and the decade they flourished in.


Rick Springfield.

He may have been labeled a teen pop artist, but he stands the test of time. His tunes have become a classic 80s go-to. We all really hope that in the end he got Jessie's girl or at least a girl like Jessie's girl.


Bee Gees.

The Bee Gees in the 70s is pure disco fever and their work with "Saturday Night Fever" is the cherry on top. And who doesn't love an all-brother band? As a group they have around 40 plus years of music so pick a decade, pick an album and rock out. Don't forget your disco pants!


Billy Joel.

Billy Joel won over all of us with "Piano Man" and "New York State of Mind." His ability to fuse different styles of music together is what makes him an amazing artist. Grab your uptown girl and cruise around with your favorite Billy Joel tune.


Bruce Springteen.

Last but not least, Mr. "Born in the U.S.A." His songs are an anthem to working-class America. Everything about him as an artist screams extreme and passionate. He lives in the moment and he taught us "glory days well they'll pass you by".

Rock on, my friends!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
