Many would think a song without words is boring however sometimes there is a beautiful quality in a song without words. A friend once told me that there are people who play instruments as music to sing to but there are also those who play the instruments that sing as music on their own. This is a compilation of such songs.

Everything by City of the Sun

This is a vivacious fast paced song that utilizes a variety of different instruments to create a beautiful sound. The band itself plays incredible music that is definitely worth checking out. 100% one of the best instrumentals of all time.

The Cave by Jason Swanson

This is an instrumental version of the song The Cave by Mumford & Sons. It is without words because the way Jason Swanson plays his guitar makes it so that there is no need for words. Incredible acoustics.

Where's My Love - Piano Solo by SYML

The original of this song with the words is incredible however the song without words on a piano is just as incredible. The song itself has a beautiful melody that makes it so enjoyable to the ears to hear as an instrumental.

Intro by The xx

This song has such an interesting tune. It gradually progresses from its beginning and only gets better as the song progresses. A very good instrumental song overall.

Saturn (Instrumental) by Sleeping At Last

This band is one of my recent discoveries however, the band is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Their music is so moving even when there are no words. Their music brings a wave of emotions on me every time I listen to it. I plead with you, to give this band a listen.

Mr. Art Valnades by Sergio Altamura

This song is moving in a subtle way. I enjoy listening it to while a study especially because its just very pleasant to hear.

The River Flows In You by Yiruma

One of the most well known instrumentals of all time. A classic. A goodie.

Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling

The way Lindsey Stirling plays the violin is absolutely incredible. She completely creates a beautiful symphony in her music which is why I recommend this song to you.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
