We all have those days where we need a little pick me up, whether it was caused by waking up on the wrong side of the bed, someone peed in our Cheerios or just not a great day. I have always found music has helped me get through the worst of days to the best of days because when words fail, music speaks.

Music has a way of saying everything you are feeling in just about 3 minutes so if you need some motivation, something to dance to, or even saying forget you, I have compiled a listed of 10 songs to help lift the mood.

1. The Light - Disturbed

When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

Not all Disturbed songs are "Oh, ah ah ah ah" (coming from someone who loves Disturbed) but this song is definitely one to make you feel like when one door closes another one opens.

2. Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Fleetwood Mac is a classic and how can you not tap your foot, sing along and just feel happier with this one?

3. Haterz - Todrick Hall

So turn the radio up
Play that beat loud
For everyone that tried to bring me down
This one's for you
This one's for you
So make the radio blast
Hands in the air
They can kiss my -
Ask me if I care
This one's for you
This one's for you
Haterz

Honestly a great "f you" song with a fantastic upbeat tune. This is all about self-love and not caring what others think.

4. When The Day Comes - Nico & Vinz

Even when the sky comes falling down
I'll be ready when the sky comes falling down

Watch the music video, you won't regret it. It shows inner strength and to keep fighting even if it is difficult.

5. I'm Still Standing - Elton John

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

The version from "Sing" is also fantastic, but this just reminds us that we are still standing and to keep moving forward.

6. Try Everything - Shakira

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything

Honestly, watch "Zootopia." Not only is that a great feel-good movie, this song will only enhance that feeling.

7. Roll With It - Steve Winwood

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door
I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby

A fantastic beat, it just grooves. Whenever life is hard, just roll with it and you'll be fine.

8. You Make My Dreams - Hall and Oates

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with a dreamer
I can laugh it in the face

This is a fun upbeat song that we all know and can't help but sing along to. It will put you in a good mood and lift the spirits.

9. I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

This song just makes you want to dance and puts you in a good mood. Sometimes you just have to dance it out.

10. Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm going to go go go
There's not stopping me

Queen, what a classic. Nothing can stop you, so keep pushing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
