17 Songs To Brighten Your Day
foulline

It's cold, there is no sun, and school is going ahead at full speed- need I say more? With that said, it's pretty easy to get into a winter funk around this time of year. For me, listening to music is a great way to change my mood around and start thinking more positive thoughts. Here are 17 songs you can add to your playlists to make your days a little bit brighter!

1. Say You Won't Let Go- James Bay

If you don't believe in love, you will after you listen to this song.

2. 93 Million Miles- Jason Mraz

I will put this song on every playlist I ever make for the rest of my life because it's that good of a song. Instant mood booster, I guarantee it.

3. Little Bird- Ed Sheeran

Funny Story, the first time I ever heard this song was in Hollister. Never forget, the middle school Hollister days. Nevertheless, this song is still one of Ed's best. Upbeat, fun, an oldie but a goodie.

4. Don't Stop Making It Happen- Grouplove

Brought to you by the same band that brought you the hit "Tongue Tied" a couple years back. This song is super upbeat and will have you dancing on your feet in no time.

5. 30,000 feet- Ben Rector

If it were up to me I would have made this entire playlist Ben Rector songs, because each and every one of them makes me happy to no end. But for the sake of the article, I figured one would suffice. "30,000 feet" is on of my all time favorite. Definitely a song that makes you sit back and realize how blessed you are and all you have going for you.

6. Portugal - Walk The Moon

One of my all time favorite WTM songs, a great song to jam out to in the car as well.

7. Dance With Me- Ra Ra Riot

Get up and dance to this on, you won't regret it!

8. The Dog Days Are Over- Florence + The Machine

Can't go wrong with Florence, you just can't.

9. Don't Doubt- Blind Pilot

A bit of a slower song and not as upbeat, but definitely a great reminder that everything will work out in the end.

10. Run- COIN

A good, upbeat song can always turn that frown upside down!

11. Waiting on Summer- VHS Collection

Because who isn't waiting on summer?

12. Someday- The Strokes

The beat to this song is undeniably catchy! Try listening to this song without at least tapping your foot, I bet you can't do it.

13. Send Me On My Way- Rusted Root

Matilda, anyone?? A classic, nonetheless

14. What I Like About You- The Romantics



I had to throw this one in here, It's too good of a feel good song to not.

15. That's How You Know- Nico & Vinz

Awesome beat, undeniably catchy.

16. ILYSB- LANY

I'm a sucker for a good LANY song. Watch out for this band, they're going places.

17. Lush Life- Zara Larsson

Nothing like a good summer hit to get you through the day!

Hope these songs help to make your days brighter and happier! Happy Listening!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
