Our Top 13 Tracks for 2013

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Hello readers, and Happy New Year!

Now I’m no fortune teller, but I do pride myself in occasionally predicting a hit. To christen this hopefully lucky year (still, avoid black cats and ladders), I present you, Her Campus music lovers, with 13 songs poised to sneak into sonic success. Some live off the “beat”en track, and others exist through artists you may already know. Regardless, give these tunes a listen as you imagine what the crystal ball holds for this coming year!

Meaghan craves music almost as much as a good cup of coffee or a bagel smothered with cream cheese. Therefore, her most significant contribution to HerCampus arises once a week via her "Music Blog" section. Through this column, Meaghan hopes to inform and excite readers, introducing them to a variety of new music and music-related topics. Although difficult to decipher her crystal ball's contents, she would love to be working towards an outlet that combines design, writing, music, fashion, art and entertainment in the future. Obsessions also include the color pink and quoting her favorite films. 
Claudia was born in Mexico and moved to Chicago at the age of 8. She is currently attending the University of Illinois at Chicago as a Marketing major. She is really excited to be a part of the HerCampus team and is ready to make HC grow at UIC. She can’t go a day without exercising and especially enjoys Zumba! She loves fashion and reads blogs every day, that’s where she gets her inspiration when she dresses, and hopes to one day have her own! Claudia is currently a representative for AKIRA Chicago, for discount codes contact her at (cmarti74@uic.edu). She strives to be a better person every day, and is really thankful for everything she has. One of Claudia’s favorite quotes is “Enjoy all that you have while you pursue everything that you want”.
