1. "Hey Brother" by Avicii

This song made the list because I have personally devoted it to my two precious brothers. If you have ever listened to this song, you could see why. It is a very touching song, and I love it.

2. "Beer For My Horses" by Toby Keith

HAHA, this song is one of those that takes me back to my childhood...and honestly, I couldn't tell you why. I vaguely remember this one time I and my cousin Baylee sang this and the next song in my living room when we were little. Honestly, don't ask. I really don't even know.

3. "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

This one was MY ANTHEM as a little girl. I know for a 100% fact that every time this song would play it was a full-on concert by me featuring me. Also, I'm pretty sure Baylee and I performed this in my living room too.

4. "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

I will never not love this song. This was and still is mine and my aunt's song. She played this song for little baby me a long, long time ago and it has been ours ever since. I love you Manda!

5. "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon

I used to watch 'The Wild Thornberry's' religiously, and on one of the movies, this song plays. My dad used to lay down with me every night and we would either watch that or Fear Factor. This song has always had a very special place in my heart.

6. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert

I have a "house that built me". It was first my dad's parents house, then my parent's house. That house was in our family for years and years. All of my cousins that I was closest to live just a short walk or bike ride away. That house surely built me, and I will forever cherish the memories made there.

7. "Airstream Song" by Miranda Lambert


Okay, this one is on here because there is a camper business in my family, but most importantly it's on here because I was a true gypsy in another life. Just saying.

8. "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney

My mom and I would JAM to this on the daily. Kenny Chesney was our favorite guy!

9. "Boondocks" by Little Big Town

This song just reminds me of my childhood, and where I grew up. Riding bikes and playing in the mud with my cousins was kinda the highlight of my life.

10. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

I have West by God Virginia in my blood. This song takes me home every time. Most of my heart remains in West Virginia with some of my all-time favorite people in the world.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is my life summed up in ten songs!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
