Podcasts are the new big thing everyone is raving about. Podcasts have a multitude of genres, just like music, that you can choose from. If you have an iPhone, you already have the Podcast app without even having to download it.

If you have Spotify, you have a podcast option to listen to on that app. So if you aren't one of the millions of people listening to a podcast already, you probably already have an app for it.

Podcasts are similar to music in the way of what you might want to hear. Personally, my favorite podcasts to listen to are murder podcasts.

However, there are numerous genres ranging from sports to politics to culture. There is a podcast for everyone. Whether you're walking to class or making the long commute home on the weekend, podcasts are an easy way to entertain yourself.

Being an avid podcast listener and researcher, I have found in my opinion some of the best podcasts out there.Some podcasts that have not only made the top 2018 Podcast list but are just absolutely phenomenal are:

1. My Favorite Murder, hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, is a murder mystery podcast in which they discuss hometown murders, cold cases, and famous murderers with their cat Elvis and they encourage you to "Stay sexy and don't get murdered"

2.Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is a podcast of a cold case on high school senior Hae Min Lee's murder that she spends a year uncovering.

3.Death, Sex & Money, hosted by Anna Sale, is a podcast about the trio of death, sex, and money and people are interviewed each podcast and they discuss their personal experience with at least one of the issues.

4.Pod Save America, hosted byJon Favreau, Dan Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor, is an American progressive political podcast produced and distributed by Crooked Media.

5. Lore, hosted by Aaron Mahnke, is an award-winning podcast on non-fiction scary stories that show the dark side of human nature.

6. Still Processing, hosted by Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris, is a New York Times culture podcast.

7. Stuff You Should Know, hosted by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, is self-explanatory and helps with easy dinner conversation starters.

8. WTF, hosted by Marc Maron, is a podcast where a comedian tries to uncover deep philosophical questions.

9. Reply All, hosted by PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman, is a podcast focused on how to survive modern life.

10. Invisibilia, hosted by Lulu Miller, is all about the invisible forces that shape human behavior.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
