Personally, the only reason why I can stand driving is the fact that I can belt with no external judgment. Through my voice cracks and the occasional attempted harmony, singing in my car is essentially a part of my daily routine. While I am aware of the benefits it has on my mood, there are plenty of other health-related advantages to singing in the car.

1. Singing in the car releases chemicals that stimulate your brain.

Surprisingly enough, your brain releases chemicals including serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin to give you the feeling of a natural high. Singing in the car provides a free source of happiness and positivity on your way to school, work, and anywhere else you venture throughout your day.

Singing in the car boosts your muscular health.

No matter the quality of your voice, you utilize your lungs and chest muscles when singing (especially when belting). By consistently exerting force through these body parts, you are essentially giving them a workout which will make them stronger and healthier.

Singing in the car reduces the speed of brain aging.

By continuously exercising your brain with the memorization and learning of lyrics, your brain receives a workout which keeps it healthier for a longer period of time.

Whether you are professional singer or just a musical-advocate, singing in the car reduces stress and puts anyone in a better mood. Personally, I find that Broadway songs and ballads are the most fun to (attempt to) sing. I recommend creating a playlist of your favorite songs to belt and shuffling to get in the zone. My Spotify playlist is teeming with belt-worthy music, so you can check it out for examples.

Without further ado, be safe and sing your heart out.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
