Throwback Thursday - Songs from Middle School

Not in any order, here listed are 20 songs that I used to LOVE when I was in middle school, before I started listening to country music...throwback to those RAVES known as Saint Martha's school dances where we had to be 1 tile apart when slow dancing.

1. Just a Dream - Nelly
     If you ever loved somebody put your hands up / And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

2. Love Like Woe - The Ready Set
     And I might drive myself insane / If those lips aren't speaking my name 

3. Nothin' On You - B.o.B. ft. Bruno Mars
     You're my Wonder Woman / Call me Mr. Fantastic

4. We R Who We R - Ke$ha
     Hot and dangerous / If you're one of us, then roll with us 

5. Like a G6 - Far East Movement ft. The Cataracs and DEV
     It's that 808 bump / Make you put your hands up

6. I Like It - Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull
     Wake up Barack and Michelle / Let 'em know that it's on

7. All I Do Is Win - DJ Khaled ft. T-Pain, Rick Ross, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg
     Heat in the kitchen / Pot on the stove / Water being boiled / Dope being sold 

8. Ridin' Solo - Jason Derulo
     Now I'm feelin' how I should / Never knew single could feel this good

9. One Time - Justin Bieber
     You're my one love / My one heart / My one life for sure / Let me tell you one time

10. Best I Ever Had - Drake
     Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on / That's when you're the prettiest / I hope that you don't take it wrong 

11. Throw It in the Bag - Fabolous ft. The-Dream
     I'm the one with them ones / Fuck the price on the tag / Just throw it in the bag 

12. Hotel Room Service - Pitbull
     One's a company / Two's a crowd / And three's a party

13. 21 Guns - Green Day
     Nothing's ever built to last / You're in ruins / One, twenty-one guns / Lay down your arms / Give up the fight 

14. Live Like We're Dying - Kris Allen
     We only got 86400 seconds in a day / To turn it all around or to throw it all away 

15. She Wolf - Shakira
     A domesticated girl, that's all you ask of me / Darling, this is no joke / This is lycanthropy

16. Obsessed - Mariah Carey
     Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex / Seeing right through you like you're bathing in Windex

17. Party in the U.S.A. - Miley Cyrus
     Got my hands up, they playin' my song / The butterflies fly away

     Somehow I can't forget you / Going crazy from the moment I met you

2015 Mix with Music Video

HEY Y'ALL! On this beautiful last day of 2015, I am posting my last blog post of the year! BUT it isn't really just a blog post. 

I enjoy making mash-ups of various songs simply for personal enjoyment, so I made one with some of the best songs from 2015. Then I had this brilliant idea to involve my younger siblings by making a music video. SOOO without further ado, here is my 2015 song mash-up with a Veilleux music video!

Tuesday Ten - Favorite Country Artists

10. Tim McGraw 

And I loved deeper / And I spoke sweeter / And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin' 

9. Eric Church

Funny how a melody sounds like a memory / Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night / Springsteen

8. Carrie Underwood 

And now I'm singing along to Amazing Grace / Can't nobody wipe this smile on my face 

7. Keith Urban 

So take your records, take your freedom / Take your memories, I don't need 'em / Take your space and all your reasons / But you'll think of me 

6. Zac Brown Band

Salute the ones who died / The ones that give their lives / So we don't have to sacrifice / All the things we love

5. TIE - Miranda Lambert and Lee Brice 

M.L. - I thought that maybe I could find myself / If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave / Won't take nothing but a memory / From the house that built me 

L.B. - Be a best friend / Tell the truth / And overuse "I love you" / Go to work / Do your best / Don't outsmart your common sense / Never let your praying knees get lazy / And love like crazy

4. Sam Hunt 

I don't have to make you love me / I just wanna take your time 

3. Lady Antebellum 

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight / Just a touch of the fire burning so bright / I don't wanna mess this thing up / I don't wanna push too far 

2. Luke Bryan 

I didn't know where it was goin' / Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks 

1. Florida Georgia Line

Baby, you a song / You make me wanna roll my windows down / And cruise

Tuesday Ten - Compliments Girls Love

10. I enjoy talking with you. - This compliments a lady's intelligence as well as her communication skills. She will be flattered that a guy loves talking with her and wants to listen to her opinions.

9. I like the way you think. - This is way better than "you're smart," which only compliments a female's capability of remembering factual knowledge. "I like the way you think" notices the lady as an interesting person rather than a clever person.

8. You're optimistic and charismatic. - This compliments how happy and relaxed a woman is while she is around a certain guy. All girls love to be seen as having a positive personality.

7. What do you think? - No, this does not appear to be a compliment on the surface, but look deeper. Asking a girl's opinion is a great way to compliment her because the question shows that she is valued for her thoughts rather than just her looks.

6. You carry yourself well. - While this compliment could be from anyone, it shows that a man pays attention to the small details about how a lady behaves when he is (or isn't) around. This compliments a girl's maturity level as well as her confidence.

5. I wish we had met sooner. - This is a great way to put a woman at ease by letting her know that the past is in the past, and now only the best lies ahead.

4. Your smile brightens my day. - Yes, this is very cliche, but it works every time. I'm not sure why, but any guy who compliments a lady in this way will have her blushing in 0.2 seconds flat.

3. Nobody makes me happier than you. - With this compliment, the man compares the woman to his previous girlfriends and places her way above them all. Women are naturally competitive, and this compliment will surely boost her confidence.

2. I'm lucky to have you. - This is the perfect compliment; it basically says that no one else out there will do. It's the greatest way to tell a girl that she is one of a kind and very special. The guy who says this shows true appreciation for his lady.

1. You're beautiful. - Simple and eloquent. Whether it is the very first date or the fiftieth wedding anniversary, every woman wants to be told she is beautiful. So long as one man says she is beautiful to him - well, that's all that counts.

BONUS TIP! - Compliment her with chivalry. If you want to compliment a lady, then behave like a gentleman. Simple acts such as holding doors open and helping her take off her coat show that a man believes a girl is a true lady, and that she deserves respect for that alone.

Just Rambling

Hey y'all. So I just got my wisdom teeth out and my mouth hurts really bad. I'm trying really hard to type a blog post with no spelling errors, but that seems to be requiring the correction of every single word. I guess I'm a bit loopy right now. Loopy and tired. 

Anyways, there are only 8 days until Christmas. I am both ready and not ready. I am ready for Christmas because I am ready for Christ to be born. I am not ready for Christmas because I have to finish Christmas shopping and wrap all the gifts and clean the house. I feel like my mom on this one, lol. 

But yeah. Also, I got all my final grades! I got a B in psych, A- in bio (s/o to Milas for the C in her class in high school), A- in foundations of Catholicism, A in sociology, and an A in western civ (which I thought I was going to get a C- in thanks to my first test). First semester of college finished with a 3.7. Here's to next semester, and hopefully doing the same!

10. The Hills - The Weeknd 

I'm just tryna get you out the friend zone / Cause you look even better than the photos 

9. Marvin Gaye - Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor 

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on / You got the healing that I want

8. Stitches - Shawn Mendes 

I thought that I've been hurt before / But no one's ever left me quite this sore / Your words cut deeper than a knife / Now I need someone to breathe me back to life 

7. Break Up With Him - Old Dominion 

Rip it off just like a band-aid / The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend / I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him 

6. Hello - Adele

They say time's supposed to heal ya / But I ain't done much healing 

5. Loving You Easy - Zac Brown Band 

Come slow this down and make it last / The best things fly by so fast 

4. Sorry - Justin Bieber

Yeah I know that I let you down / Is it too late to say I'm sorry now 

3. I'm Comin' Over - Chris Young 

So I'm comin' over, running every red light / To hell with the closure, save it for another time / Try not to think about you, but it ain't workin' / Why put out a fire when it's still burnin' 

2. Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots 

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink / But now I'm insecure and I care what people think 

1. John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 - Keith Urban 

Just another rebel in the great wide open / On the boulevard of broken dreams / And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16


*All of these songs can be found in a playlist here: My Favorite Songs (Released in 2015)

Sitting In Class

Yo so I'm currently sitting in my last biology class for the semester. He's talking about biomes right now, but I already know this stuff thanks to Mr. Beauregard at SMS in middle school, so I'm crazy bored. 

Did you know chaparral was a biome? I didn't know that one so I paid attention for a few minutes. Chaparrals are found in many coastal regions that border deserts. Who knew? 

So this week has been great. I've been one of the calmest people out of all of my friends. I finished my paper (due tomorrow) on Tuesday. I finished my reading for all of my finals on Wednesday. I plan on finishing my biology study guide right after this class ends, and my sociology study guide will be finished before I go to bed tonight. I'm totally on target for finals, and I could not be happier about that. 

HERE WE GO FINALS WEEK!!
