The Ultimate Winter Music Playlist For College Students

You know those songs that just have that wintry feel to them? That's one of my favorite kinds of music — I love the relaxing, acoustic sound the songs have. I love listening to them while walking to class or doing homework at a coffee shop.

I've created a playlist on Spotify (feel free to listen) that consists of a total of 195 songs that I believe have that feel. That's a pretty large amount, so I thought I would shorten the list a little. Here are the songs, in no particular order, that in my opinion are the most essential to getting you through the colder months:

1. The Emotion by BORNS

2. Medicine by the 1975

3. Wash. by Bon Iver

4. Trouble by Cage the Elephant

5. Re: Stacks by Bon Iver

6. Blood Bank by Bon Iver

7. Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars

8. To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra

9. Youth by Daughter

10. Little Lady - Mikill Pane by Ed Sheeran

11. One by Ed Sheeran

12. U.N.I by Ed Sheeran

13. St Jude by Florence + The Machine

14. Falling by Florence + The Machine

15. Someone New by Hozier

16. Take Me to Church by Hozier

17. reunite by Isbells

18. Somewhere Only We Know by Keana

19. Small Hands by Keaton Henson

20. Ribs by Lorde

21. Slow It Down by The Lumineers

22. Animal by Miike Snow

23. Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood

24. Jolene by Ray LaMontagne

25. Promise by Ben Howard

26. Halo by Ane Brun

27. VCR by The xx

28. Delicate by Damien Rice

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

2072

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

Widener University

Bridgaline Liberati

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.

College of Staten Island

Sister | Brother Style - Word Press

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.

The Struggles Of Having A Resting Witch Face

A condition with no cure suffered by many

The University of Alabama

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.
