14 Songs To Get You Through A Tough Week

Because we all need a little musical encouragement from time to time

14. "Fight Song" By Rachel Platten.

"I've still got a lot of fight left in me."

Although the HRC camp has probably made us all a little tired of this song, you've gotta admit, it's a pretty powerful tune!

13. "Confident" by Demi Lovato.

"What's wrong with being confident?"

Like Demi's song asks, what's wrong with being confident? Sometimes you've gotta pep yourself up that with the reminder that you're the best you you're gonna get — so strut your stuff!

12. "Stronger" by Britney Spears.

"But now I’m stronger than yesterday, now it’s nothing but my way."

If there's a situation that's making you unhappy, take Britney's advice and get rid of it! Plus, who doesn't love this Throwback Thursday from '00?

11. "Walk" by The Foo Fighters.

"Set me free again, to keep alive, a moment at a time that's still inside, a whisper to a riot. The sacrifice, the knowing to survive."

Sometimes when we come back from some of the hardest times of our lives (or our semesters), we need to remind ourselves that it's okay to have fallen off for a bit — as long as we always get back up.

10. "Sunrise" by Our Last Night.

"You can make it to the sunrise."

Some days are just about counting the seconds until tomorrow, and that's okay. Not everyday will be a win, but everyday needs to be an attempt at doing something great — even if that something great is making someone else smile, or loving yourself a little bit more than you did yesterday.

9. "Best Fake Smile" By James Bay.

"You don't have to wear your best fake smile, don't have to stand there and burn inside, if you don't like it."

Don't pretend to be happy when you aren't, and certainly not for anyone else's sake. As internet memes will tell you: DO U, BOO.

8. "(Un)Lost" by The Maine.

"Control what you can, and confront what you can't."

I think that lyric pretty much speaks for itself.

7. "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley.

"Singin': 'don't worry, 'bout a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be alright.'"

A good friend told me recently that the things that are causing us stress now won't matter years from now, so why do we kill ourselves, overthinking and worrying about it all? We shouldn't, so I won't! (And you shouldn't either.)

6. "Rise" by Selena Gomez.

"I know there are those who will wanna bring you down, but you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud."

No matter where you're from or what you do, there will always be people who will try to steal your joy, but always remember that you can choose to rise above it all.

5. "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself" By Jess Glynne.

"Learn to forgive, learn to let go. Everyone trips, everyone falls, so don't be so hard on yourself."

Oftentimes, the hardest person to forgive is ourselves, but we're always the one person we have to lay in bed with every night and reconcile what we've done. Do so peacefully. Learn to be kind to yourself.

4. "Walking On Sunshine" By Katrina & The Waves.

"I'm walking on sunshine, and don't it feel good?"

OK, seriously, if you can listen to this song and not smile even a little bit, even begrudgingly, you're inhuman.

3. "Don't Stop Believin'" By Journey.

"Don't stop BELIEVIN'!"

Even when you get into a sticky situation... Well, you know how it goes.

2. "Brave" By Sara Bareilles.

"Let your words be anything but empty."

Don't live with regrets, and don't leave anything unsaid. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, and while it's easy to forget that, every second is precious.

1. "Unstoppable" by Sia.

"I'm unstoppable, I'm a Porsche with no brakes, I'm invincible, I win every single game. I'm so powerful, I don't need batteries to play. I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today."

Seriously, you really are unstoppable. Go kick this week's butt, you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
