Music has a way of speaking to people.

It allows us to reflect on our lives and realize many things. Different types of music convey different things to an audience. My favorite kind of music is country music.

Being from Georgia, I was raised listening to country music. It's something I have always enjoyed listening to and it is something I have a huge heart for. There are several country songs I love, but I have picked five that describe my life.

1. Southern Girl — Tim McGraw

This classic country song talks about, well, southern girls. I've lived in the south my entire life and I am a true southerner.

The verse that stands out to me is, "A southern girl's momma probably taught her how a lady should act."

My mom was very involved in my life and definitely taught me how to act. Although she is from the North, she taught me the basics of how to be the ideal southern woman.

2. Unanswered Prayers — Garth Brooks

Growing up, I learned that in times of need, to turn to the Lord and pray. Often times, I would pray and ask God for things and I would not get what I prayed for.

The chorus of this song says, "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs. That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."

This song makes me truly understand that not everything I want is what I truly need. This song allows me to reflect on my life and appreciate those unanswered prayers.

3. I'm in a Hurry — Alabama

Often times, especially in today's day and age, life is very fast paced and rushed. This song sums up my crazy, busy college lifestyle. I feel like I do not have enough time in the day to get everything done I need to get done.

This feeling of being in a rushed lifestyle is not fun, and I truly don't know why I'm in a hurry.

4. Me and You — Kenny Chesney

My most vivid memory from when I was little was my parents blaming this song singing together on long car rides to see family in Philadelphia. For me, this song depicts what I want in a future spouse. Because of that, this is the song I want to dance to for my first dance at my wedding.

5. Better Than I Used To Be — Tim McGraw

This song is one that sums up my life perfectly. Life is full of ups and downs and at the end of the day, its all about becoming the best person you can be. This song talks about how it's okay to have messed up, as long as you're striving to be a better person.

Sometimes all it takes is a little faith in someone to see the good in them.

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
