I Don't Want This Night To End-Luke Bryan 

Country is the perfect kind of music. You seriously cannot go wrong with Luke Bryan, he is just perfect. LOVE HIM. Being in college I have learned that you don't plan outings until maybe an hour before hand. My friends and I normally just chill on Friday nights and last week we suddenly decided that we were going to go out. So that is what we did and we had the best time ever. We did not want to go back to campus when we left. It was a great way to start off a weekend of studying. What I love is that this song is about having fun. Life is short. You cannot waste a minute of it. A person needs to have spontaneity in life. They need to be able just get up and go do something. That is what can bring you joy in life. It also will bring some of the most important friendships a person can have. When you are spontaneous and free, you show who you really are in some ways. You can show your heart and soul in those moments of freedom. You show what you want in life. So my advice? Go out and do something different. Be free. Be spontaneous. Be wild (within reason). Be you. Go out and have fun. I promise that this will not be something that you will come to regret. You will also never forget it. These stories are the ones you tell your friends and family. It is the one that you tell your kids when you are at that stage. So go out and be you. Be wild. Be free. Be spontaneous.

Does He Know?-One Direction

First off let me just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE One Direction. I mean who doesn't?? They are literally just amazing. Anyway, the song that came up today was 'Does He Know'. We all know that song is about the guy that the girl is dating and whether or not he knows the real person that she is. The girl in the song comes off as innocent and sweet but really she is something else. She is someone who likes to have fun. We also all know that its just a song so it should not be taken seriously. No song should be taken word for word. However, the meaning of the song is something different to me. This song makes me think of how I present myself to every person that I meet. Am I honest with who I am? Do I present myself in a way that I would want to be presented? Sometimes I want to say yes and sometimes I want to say no. If someone asked me, I would probably say yes but think no. I say no because I sometimes worry about people's opinions more than my opinions. After a few instances of worrying too much about what people think, I realized that my opinion and what God believes (I am very religious) about myself is all that matters. So whenever I hear this song, I think am I presenting myself in a way that I would want my future husband to know? I won't know if I am meeting my future husband in the Pryz by the waffle maker or if I am sitting next to him in one of my classes. So it is really important to just be yourself and show who you really are because once you start pretending it is not easy to go back. Because who you are is amazing and is the person worth knowing.
