Top 15 Songs By Lissie

GroundSounds

I've been listening to singer/songwriter, Lissie, since my junior year of high school. I saw one of her music videos on VH1 before I went to school, and I was instantly hooked on her music. She has an indie, folk, acoustic, and rock vibes going on throughout her songs. Her music has helped me get through bad times, sad times, and always the happy times. Many of my friends haven't heard of her, so I feel it's necessary to make a list of my top 15 favorite songs by Lissie.

15. "Hero"

This song is definitely something you want to listen to in your car. I would categorize this as road trip music.

14. "Mother"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUmw2iYgFbs

Originally sung by Danzig. The guitar in the beginning of this cover is haunting in the best way possible. This is, dare I say, better than the original?

13. "Oh Mississippi"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623ln15-5fo

Switching from guitar to piano, this song literally gives me chills every time I hear it.

12. "Sleepwalking"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R5h_6fdv1c

This song has a pretty good beat, although the lyrics are a bit sad. But it's the kind of sad most people can relate to. Most of her music is like this in my opinion.

11. "Little Lovin"

This is a song that you you instantly sing the chorus when you hear it the first time. The occasional little bell in the music helps the song perk up too. It almost has a southern music feel.

10. "Wedding Bells"

Lyrics are a bit sad, but the tune balances it out. Definitely on my Lissie playlist!

9. "Go Your Own Way"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OltcXMV-9Vk

This Fleetwood Mac cover is absolutely amazing! I love how she slowed down the song. Still just as good to listen to as the original.

8. "Can't Take It Back"

This is a song I sing as loud as I can in the car. This is song to listen to if you're thinking about exes and old friends.

7. "When I'm Alone"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G0_eN36QVc

This is the song that got me loving Lissie to begin with! This is the music video I saw back in high school as I was getting ready for school. This song gave me a music style I enjoy.

6. "Hold On, We're Going Home"

Yes, this is a Drake cover! And yes, it's good! Trust me on this!

5. "Further Away (Romance Police)"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0FAPa7lNss

An upbeat song about a guy treating a girl wrong, and the girl is being given advice. It's great! The guitar solo though!

4. "Pursuit of Happiness"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQMJCOT2wlQ

Again, another amazing cover! Originally by Kid Cudi, this cover is amazing. It's spot on!

3. "Shameless"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vzZcbH39E

This song is almost indie-rock? Definitely an anthem for people who are, well shameless.

2. "Everywhere I Go"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGDe9JsQWE

This song is a song you listen to if you want chills! Her voice is breathtaking.

1. "Don't You Give Up On Me"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQevK_bUV9g

This is my number one song. To me, the lyrics create beautiful imagery. Very motivational for anyone that feels they're being given up on.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
