12 Songs Every Former Emo Kid Knows By Heart
Odyssey

Let's face it. Everyone has been there and done that when it comes to the emo lifestyle. Once upon a time, you had the jelly bracelets, studded belts, and black Chucks. Here are 12 songs every former emo kid knows by heart!

1. "Makedamnsure" by Taking Back Sunday

The perfect breakup emo song. And let's face it - the fact there are no spaces between the title words, made it so edgy.


2. "Perfect" by Simple Plan

Your go-to song anytime you had a fight with your parents.

3. "Misery Business" by Paramore

The ultimate revenge song for any breakup. Not to mention you secretly wanted Haley Williams' hair.

4. "Scars" by Papa Roach

The song you listen to when you just cared too much and everyone let you down.

5. "Ohio Is For Lovers" by Hawthorne Heights

The song you listened to when you wanted to hear just a touch of screamo.


6. "Helena" by My Chemical Romance

Because you were simply in love with Gerard Way and his guyliner. Plus the dancing in the music video was just amazing.

7. "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy


FOB really helped you fall into the Emo phase. All the eyeliner and trucker hats were what drew you in.

8. "Miss Murder" by AFI

Two words. Lip ring.

9. "Miserable at Best" by Mayday Parade

Because this song spoke the truth about moving on and letting go. It's simply hard.

10. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At The Disco

Because the circus theme drew you in. And his voice finished the job.

11. "The Anthem" by Good charlotte

The song that told you to raise a middle finger and rebel against everything and everyone.

12. "All That I've Got" by The Used

Because we can all relate to the days we just wanted to sleep off our bad days alone.


Want to turn back time? Here's the playlist that will make your Emo heart whole again.

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.

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.
