In This Article:

Sugarland is a country duo group comprising of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. Most importantly, they are my favorite group EVER. If you know me, then you know this. If you don't know me, then hello and welcome to my obsession with Sugarland.

This probably won't be the last time I write about them, but to start off with something fun and to hopefully introduce new people to their music, I decided to list my top 10 Sugarland songs. Enjoy!

1. "Little Miss"

"Little Miss" is my all-time favorite Sugarland song! I can relate to this song the most. For me, this song is about doing everything for everyone and putting your needs last. Someone who is a Little Miss "take[s] less when [they] always give that so much more." But they will soon realize that there is so much more to them then doing everything for everyone.

"Little Miss" came into my life during a time when I was this person. I wanted to make sure that everyone was okay and taken care of; therefore, putting my needs last, thus ruining my sense of self-worth. This song showed me that I didn't need to do that.

2. "On A Roll"

"On A Roll" is that upbeat, living your best life, happy-go-lucky type of song that you will want to listen to with the volume all the way up! This song has a beat that you can't help but walk in time with. With lyrics like, "I got a smile like the sunshine," and "Life is short but so sweet, so cut the cake and let's eat," you can't help but to feel good when you listen and/or sing along!

Did I mention that Jennifer Nettles raps in this song? Because she does and it is amazing! "On The Roll" is the song everyone needs when you just need to smile and feel good.

3. "Still The Same"

"Still The Same" was Sugarland's first single after their five-year hiatus. Every Sugarland fan, including myself, went crazy when we heard they were coming back! This song shows that even after five long years, they are "Still The Same". They've grown and have changed as people, but that passion they have as a group is still there and stronger than ever.

Although this song means a lot to Sugarland fans, this song also makes you feel as if you and your best friend have met up again after years of being apart, but it is as if time froze between you and you've picked back up where you left off. It has a sense of familiarity.

4. "Baby Girl"

"Baby Girl" was the song that got me hooked on Sugarland. I was eight years old when this song came out, and I remember screaming this song at the top of my lungs every time it would come on country radio, heck, I still do that! This is your rags to riches type of song that shows how hard work can make your "dreams come true."

This song is about an aspiring musician wanting to make it big and then does. Although I cannot relate to that aspect, it is still a relatable song because, throughout the song, they repeat the verse, "I love you more than anything in the world, love your Baby Girl." This shows that no matter the trials and tribulations or how successful you become, you'll always be someone to somebody.

5. "Bigger"

"Bigger" explains that even though you feel small right now, as long as you don't give up and know that you're more than enough, "you're going to be bigger." You're going to show those who've put you down that you can rise up and do whatever your heart wants.

"Bigger" is a good motivational song that makes you truly believe in yourself.

6. "Keep You"

I mainly love "Keep You" because it showcases Jennifer Nettles' vocal range. I try to sing along to this song, but I am not able to keep up with how low she can get her voice to go and then how high it can get. It is simply amazing.

Another reason why I love this song is that sometimes, although it's not healthy for you mentally, you just need a good song to listen to when you're feeling sad. For me, this is that song.

7. "It Happens"

"It Happens" is a fun-loving song that tells you to not sweat the small stuff because stuff happens. I am an overthinker, and whenever something happens that is so small, it doesn't really matter. You can guarantee that I will be worrying about it. So, to help me get over it, I always put this song on.

This sone reminds you that sometimes you just need to laugh at the small things that happen. Everyone is going to have an off day for no reason at all, and instead of beating yourself up over it, remember it happens to everyone!

8. "Tuesday's Broken"

"Tuesday's Broken" is a very topical and meaningful song. It brings up issues like school shootings and suicide, but raises the question, "What if we try to reach him with words ā€¦ asked 'where does it hurt?'"

This song is important for continuing the conversation about mental health and bullying so that we "don't leave it unspoken."

9. "Stay"

"Stay" is a Sugarland classic; whenever people ask me who Sugarland is, I always tell them that they are the country group that sings this song. Other than that, "Stay"is, to simply put it, a beautiful song. It is a song about realization and transformation.

This song is a good reminder that there is no one on this earth who should make you beg for their love; you are strong enough to walk away and get the love you deserve.

10. "Find The Beat Again"

"Find The Beat Again" is good for when you need a pick-me-up song. It acknowledges that you have valid reasons to feel down, but with an upbeat tempo and positive lyrics such as, "Hey! Hey! Things are looking better now. Hey! Hey! Nothing last forever," it reminds you that things will get better.

This is one of those songs that lifts you up and puts a smile on your face!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ā€˜wildest dreamsā€™. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, Iā€™m still in awe of the spectacle ā€˜Miss Americanaā€™ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylorā€™s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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 clichƩs, 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 donā€™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. Donā€™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 youā€™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. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™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?
