5 Songs That Are Truly Relatable
Pintrest

Music is everywhere: in our cars, coffee shops, and even elevators. We can't escape from it. Then, there are those people who are literally listening to their favorite artists at every available moment, the ones who never take out their earbuds or headphones. This gives us a lot of time to think about what exactly we are listening to. A lot of the music we hear at this day and age talks about emotional downpours, mistakes, and so many other semi-cliché themes. But then we come across that one lyric that makes us go, "So true!" Everyone is different and that's why music is so great! There is a genre for everyone. Here are some truly relatable lyrics for all that life may bring you.


1. "Lazarus" by Circa Survive


"2am, I'm thinking about how lucky I've been, I need to take a moment to myself. 6am, I'm thinking about how lonely I've been, I need to take a moment to myself."

This is the type of song that you listen to when you've had a rough day and decide to take a breather. It reminds us that we all struggle, we all have those moments where we feel lost. Truth be told, I find myself thinking in the wee hours of the morning and having these same thoughts.


2. "Always" by Panic! at the Disco


"When the world gets too heavy, put it on my back. I'll be your levy. You are taking me apart like bad glue on a get well card."

This is the anthem for all us care takers out there. When our friends, family or significant other is hurt, we always want to be there for them. This song describes how we will be there to hold their hand. While it may not be easy, we are willing to do this because of how much we love and care for them.


3. "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy


"The best of us can find happiness in misery."

Have you ever had one of those days where you are so fed up with how things are going and all you want to do is scream, "I don't care anymore!"? This is the song you need to listen to. Even though I tried to steer away from clichés, this song embodies the sound of teenage angst. However, the lyrics describe how we have to get over these bad days and make room for the good ones. This is a great mood booster for these days and everything in between.


4. "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant


"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees. I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed. And ain't nothing in this world for free."

A lot of people struggle financially. This song opens up the minds for those who take their wealth for granted. Looking at this lyric, alone, opens up our view. Nothing in this world is free. We all pay for what is given to us, whether it be cash, our emotional well-being, or our blood, sweat and tears.


5. "Float" by The Neighbourhood


"They show you how to swim, then they throw you in the deep end. I've been learning since, but it doesn't mean I'll float."

A message to all parents out there, you can try to prepare us for just about everything but this doesn't mean we can survive it all. This is an important lesson for all of us. We can mentally prepare ourselves as much as we see fit but in reality we can't prepare for everything. We have to understand this and not blame ourselves for things we couldn't see. We should instead, learn from these experiences and move on in the best way we can.


We can learn so much more than this from music. This isn't even a chip in the iceberg. This is just a singular rain drop during a monsoon. There's a genre, an artist for everyone, just know that you aren't alone. Music has taught me this and I hope you are able to see it for yourself.

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.
