For more than half of my life my favorite genre of music has been classic rock. Every time I listen to classic rock I listen to mostly my top 5 bands. My top 5 classic rock bands are as follows:

5. The Zombies

The Zombies’ style and rhythm is very unique. Ever since American Idol season 6, in 2007, I have been really in love with the song “She’s not there.” In the beginning of the song with the piano verse and the soft lyrics, quite possibly one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard in my opinion. Even though they are number 5 they are certainly not my least favorite.

4. The Kinks

“Girl you really got me now you got me so I don’t what I’m doing.” One of the most famous lines in English rock later covered by other bands. The Kinks definitely had some iconic songs like “You really got me” and “Lola.” I love this band based mainly for their song lyrics and the way they perform. The Kinks, when I listen to them and their smooth guitar riffs they literally sound like one of a kind and their music is truly amazing.

3. Pink Floyd

When some people think of classic rock one of the bands they think of is Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd is definitely one of my favorite bands of all time with their incredible style and charisma. Their albums “The Wall” and “Dark side of the Moon” are two of their best albums they have had. When I’m in the car driving to and from my internship Another Brick in the Wall is always on my playlist of songs to listen to. The solo at the end of the song is truly one of the smoothest solos ever.

2. The Rolling Stones

We have reached the top two bands and most definitely the two most influential bands of the classic rock era. Number two on my list are The Rolling Stones. Satisfaction is one of the most played classic rock songs in history. The millions of records these guys sold and still performing is ridiculous. “Start Me Up” and “Sympathy for the Devil” are just two of the incredible songs these guys have produced.

And my number 1 band without a doubt is:

1. The Beatles

In the history of Rock there has never been a more inspirational and iconic band then The Beatles. The impact that this band had on the world is still to this day amazing. The hundreds of songs they made is still to this day played by millions of people including myself. The Beatles is number 1 for me because of the way they could take such simple phrases and turn them into something quite magical. For instance, the song “Hello Goodbye” two words we say on a daily basis, The Beatles turned these two words into one of their incredible songs with is truly magical. In my opinion, there will never be another band with the same talent and the same level of presence then The Beatles. The Beatles are not just once in a lifetime they are once ever.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
