I love two things: road trips and John Mayer, so why not talk about them both? In my opinion, no road trip is complete without songs by John Mayer. Whether it's his well-known hits or his lesser-known songs, John Mayer's voice, lyrics, and music embody the essence of a road trip. Here is two hours and three minutes worth of John Mayer songs for a road trip!

1. "Queen of California" (Born and Raised)

This song has to be first because it's perfect when you're, "goin' out west with your headphones on".

2. "Call Me The Breeze" (Paradise Valley)

3. "Wildfire" (Paradise Valley)

4. "Helpless" (The Search for Everything)

5. "Why Georgia" (Room for Squares)

The setting of this song is on the road so it's a great choice.

6. "New Deep" (Heavier Things)

7. "Rosie" (The Search for Everything)

8. "Love on the Weekend" (The Search for Everything)

9. "Half of My Heart" (Battle Studies)

This may not be a popular opinion, but I love this song for road trips because of the fun bass line and upbeat but clean drum sounds.

10. "Something Like Olivia" (Born and Raised)

11. "On The Way Home" (Paradise Valley)

12. "No Such Thing" (Room for Squares)

13. "Bold As Love" (Continuum)

14. "Waiting On The World To Change" (Continuum)

15. "In Your Atmosphere" (Where the Light Is)

One of my all-time favorites by John Mayer, it's perfect to kind of bring you down to earth after "Waiting on the World To Change".

16. "Still Feel Like Your Man" (The Search for Everything)

17. "Heartbreak Warfare" (Battle Studies)

18. "Perfectly Lonely" (Battle Studies)

19. "Roll It On Home" (The Search for Everything)

20. "Stop This Train" (Continuum)

21. "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967" (Born and Raised)

Something about this song and a long open road is so philosophical.

22. "Edge of Desire" (Battle Studies)

23. "Say" (Say-Single)

24. "Back To You" (Room for Squares)

25. "Your Body Is a Wonderland" (Room for Squares)

26. "War Of My Life" (Battle Studies)

27. "Love Song for No One" (Room for Squares)

28. "Moving On and Getting Over" (The Search for Everything)

29. "The Age of Worry" (Born and Raised)

Belting out "worry why should I care" at the top of your lungs while driving is such a satisfying feeling, trust me.

30. "I Will Be Found" (Paradise Valley)

This song is at the end because I love the message of this while you arrive at your destination, ultimately being "found" per say.


I decided to make a playlist with all these songs in it, so if you have Apple Music then feel free to check it out on your next road trip or you can recreate the same playlist in your own music library! Some other good things to listen to by John Mayer would be his entire Born and Raised album and Paradise Valley album; both are great road trip albums.

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?

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.

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.
