"Guitar Hero" is one of my most favorite games ever. I'm very good at it, and I'm really excited to get the new "Guitar Hero Live" game that recently came out. This is a countdown of the top 10 hardest songs on "Guitar Hero" that I've ever played and beaten.

10. "Sudden Death" by Megadeth

This song was written and composed by Megadeth specifically for the making of "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock." This song has basically no pattern in the solos, and they're so hard to master. The easy parts are the simple strums that take up half of the song.

9. "Surfing With the Alien" by Joe Satriani

I played this song at Disney World on an arcade version of "Guitar Hero," and it was so fun. The song is so tricky and upbeat, and you have to be able to play some extremely hard parts that only someone who isn't human can play 100% accurately.

8. "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce

Everyone knows this song as the hardest one at the very end of "Guitar Hero 3." Most people who stopped playing "Guitar Hero" after this iteration of the game don't think there would ever be a harder song. Those people must not know about the following seven!

7. "Black Widow of La Porte" by John 5

This might be one of my favorite songs to play, but it's also extremely difficult. It's in "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock," and is one of the difficult songs at the end of the game that you can only unlock after beating the entire game. The song is so tough and requires so much effort to beat.

6. "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai

I also played this song on that same "Guitar Hero" arcade game in Florida. This song is written by one of the best guitarists in the world, and starts off a bit slow. It ends pretty quickly, and the second half of the song is just an insane solo.

5. "Eruption" by Van Halen

ALL SOLO. It is very short but so difficult, which should be easy to tell by both the name of the song and by the artist. I can't say much, other than that it's very fast paced and isn't for beginners. And maybe not even for your average and more experienced players.

4. "Jordan" by Buckethead

Throwing it back to "Guitar Hero 2," this is a bonus song that no one expects to be crazy, and then all of a sudden, you're playing one of the hardest solos ever. Buckethead is a master at tough songs and solos, and "Jordan" is certainly one of the hardest.

3. "This Day We Fight!" by Megadeth

This is one of the most awkwardly-paced songs ever, and I still haven't figured it out entirely. It's also much harder, in my opinion, than "Sudden Death." Either way, Megadeth always makes the hardest songs.

2. "Fury of the Storm" by Dragonforce

Oh, my God. There's one stretch of this song where it's just all hammer-ons and insane fret-work. Don't even try to hit all of them. Just strum for your life and tap random buttons. As a matter of fact, do that for the entire song. You might do well.

1. "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band (remade by Steve Ouimette)

I quit. I've never actually beaten this song, to be honest. I've never actually played it. I just know from seeing it that if I actually tried it, it would be the hardest. This is the final song in "Guitar Hero 3," but you never actually play the full song unless you download it. Either way, Steve Ouimette did an amazing job with it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

"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?
