Although music has changed in styles and variations over the years, there is one thing that has remained the same, it's message. It can express the deepest of emotions like love or telling a story. My taste in music spreads between a wide variety of genres. With classic rock being on the top of my playlist lately, I present to the millennials some of the best songs your parents use to turn the stereo up to.

1."More Than a Feeling"- Boston

A romantic lover that has more than a feeling about the girl he loves. You can almost hear him as he slips away with her in the music.

2. "Rumors"- Fleetwood Mac

Okay, so this is actually an entire album, but every song is worth a listen. A product of emotional turmoil these classic lyrics speak of heartbreak and betrayal through a uniquely individual sound.

3. "Fortunate Son"- Creedence Clearwater Revival

For those free spirits rebelling against "the system" this song is full of protest against the government and the rules of law.

4. "Bohemian Rhapsody"- Queen

An internal struggle of someone’s mind gone mad with despair, this song will take you through the vast emotional galaxy of the human mind.

5. "Hotel California"- Eagles

Speaking of the vices of human kind, Eagles take on a culture of excess in California and America.

6. "Dream On"- Aerosmith

Live for today and dream on for tomorrow, this song makes you question just what it is like to get old and how one becomes old. Perfect, for millennials as we search for our path in life and "dream on" for the best in tomorrow.

So take a moment, open your playlist, and discover the music that is still speaking volumes today.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
