For lesbian and bisexual gals, there's not much offered for them on the radio. Endless girl x boy love songs parade by, without so much as a nod to the LGBTQ community. Do not despair, sapphic ladies, because this article is for you. Get your music app ready for some catchy lady love that's actually present in the lyrics rather than just hinted at in the music videos.

1. "Girls like Girls" by Hayley Kiyoko

"Saw your face, heard your name, gotta get with you

Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new"

Hayley Kiyoko’s song "Girls Like Girls" tackles the struggle of having a crush on a girl with

a boyfriend. Hayley revealed in an interview that the song is a "female anthem for a girl stealing another guy’s girl," rather than the typical "guy steals another guy’s girlfriend."


2. "Boyfriend" by Tegan and Sara

"You treat me like your boyfriend

And trust me like a like a very best friend

You kiss me like your boyfriend

You call me up like you want your best friend

You turn me on like you want your boyfriend

But I don't want to be your secret anymore"

This song is about dating someone who isn’t quite ready to admit their sexuality yet and ends up stringing you along while they figure themselves out. No one wants to be a dirty little secret, after all.


3. "Strangers" by Halsey feat. Lauren Jauregui

"She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore

'Cause it's more intimate than she thinks we should get

She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore

Too scared of what she'll see, somebody holding me"

Halsey’s song "Strangers" uses "she" four times in the first four lines, making it impossible to interpret it as anything but a lesbian/bisexual lovesong. For such a big name in the music industry to make a song like this is a huge milestone for LGBTQ music. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a total bop, either.


4. "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u

"And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it's my fault but I want her so much

Want to fly her away where the sun and rain

Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

When they stop and stare – don't worry me

'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me"

Here’s a bit of a throwback to 2002. This song is about a girl in love with another girl, and her mind is racing throughout the song with new, mixed emotions.


5. "Big Jet Plane" by Alok and Mathieu Koss

"Be my lover

My lady river

Can I take you

Take you higher"

This song is a remix of a cover of the original. In this version, a woman sings the lyrics with haunting beauty. The beat is so damn catchy that I’ve been playing it on repeat ever since I found it on Spotify.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
