Shamrocks, green clothes, leprechaun hats, and beer are well-known essentials for any Saint Patrick's day outing. But why did Irish music get left out of the mix? Here are 7 Irish songs that are a MUST for any luck-filled Saint Patrick's Day.

1. "Galway Girl"- Mundy

Traditional yet upbeat, this song is sure to have you breaking out your Irish jig.

2. "Galway Girl"- Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran's twist on Galway Girl makes for a modern, fun Irish influenced song to dance to all day. But don't forget your Guinness!

3. "Marie's Wedding"- The High Kings

If you're looking for a song that is full of pure Irish soul with a dash of romance, then this song is for you!

4. "The Parting Glass"- Celtic Woman

A beautiful Irish ballad that is not only going to give you all the feels, but is also a real piece of Irish history.

5. "Will Ye Go, Lassie Go?"- The Irish Tenors

Did someone say Irish opera? A light-hearted traditional song that will for sure have you saying 'yes, ye'll go.'

6. "Foggy Dew"- Sinead O’Connor and the Chieftains

If you need a break from the wild side of Saint Patrick's Day, then this somber song about the Easter Uprising is sure to mellow you out.

7. "Nancy Mulligan"- Ed Sheeran

To top off your playlist, this song written by Ed Sheeran on his grandparent's love story will have you ending Saint Patrick's Day on an uplifting, romantic note making you wish you had worn that "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" button!

Now go forth and enjoy St. Paddy's as your new Irish cultured self.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
