The Best Songs For Driving Around A Small Town

Instagram

What's the best thing about driving? Having your own personal concert, starring you, of course.

We all sing in the car, weather it's the old Justin Bieber songs you loved when you were 13, an Eminem album because you can totally rap, or Beyonce because you run the world too. Driving around my little home town, I like to scream along to songs that fill me with nostalgia. Certain songs just have the perfect fit for a small town.

In case you ever feel a little emo, like I do sometimes, here are some songs that are perfect for you when you’re driving around some windy backroad and want to sing your punk little heart out.

Here are my top 20 small town jams.

1. “Living Room Song” by The Wonder Years

2. “Fine, Great” by Modern Baseball

3. “Can’t Kick Up The Roots” by Neck Deep

4. “Using” by Sorority Noise

5. “Elevated” by State Champs

6. “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane

7. “West Texas” by PWR BTTM

8. “Tiger Teeth” by Walk the Moon

9. “Slow Burn” by State Champs

10. “The 17th” by Courteeners

11. “Smile Like You Mean It” by The Killers

12. “All Signs Point to Lauderdale” by A Day To Remember

13. “Your Graduation” by Modern Baseball

14. “Prepare to be Noticed” by State Champs

15. “Lying in the Sun” by Stereophonics

16. “Voldemort” by With Confidence

17. “When You Were Young” by The Summer Set

18. “I Listened” by Apes of the State

19. “Holy Cannoli” by Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra

20. “Losing Myself” by State Champs

Sometimes a drive is needed to blow off some steam, and you need the perfect playlist to do so. I hope you agree.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1128

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
