5. I Don't Care by Ariana Grande

In this slowed down R&B vibe record from her sophomore album 'Dangerous Woman', Grande sings about not caring what others think of her anymore. "Used to let some people tell me how to live and what to be, but if I can't be me then f**ks the point" she belts. The song teaches the importance of being okay with making decisions for yourself, without caring about what anybody thinks. An important step for those of us still trying to fully love ourselves.

4. Happy by Marina and the Diamonds

My junior year of high school, after a seven-hour school day and a six-hour drama rehearsal, I was feeling super down on myself in the worst possible way. I got to my room, pressed shuffle on my phone, and immediately started balling my eyes out as this began to play. "So now you know, you know it all, that I've been desperately alone". As the song ended, I wiped my tears and felt insanely better. That song helped me cope through the bad times when I didn't love myself.

3. Home by Diana Ross (From 'The Wiz')

In 2015, when NBC presented 'The Wiz: Live' I was introduced to the song 'Home', a song about discovering where you belong and where or who your home is. In The Wiz, the character of Dorothy leaves searching for home, only to find that she had known all along where her home was. "Living here in this brand new world might be a fantasy. But it taught me to love, so it's real, it's so real to me"

2. Unbreakable Smile by Tori Kelly

I knew from the moment this song was released that it would become a song that helped me see the good when I can only see the bad. Kelly sings about knowing exactly who she is and knowing what her morals are, while exclaiming that no matter what opportunities she is presented with, she will never lose who she is. "La da da da di, you're not breaking me, la di da da da, ain't got time for ya, la da da da di, you're not breaking me, la di da da da, got an unbreakable smile"

1. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld

Of course, number one on the list is the ultimate song about loving yourself, and not needing anyone to validate who you are. Steinfeld's debut single hit the radio in a big way, and ultimately restarted the 'love yourself' brand.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
