5 Songs That Make Me Feel Happy, Sad, and Nostalgic

There comes a point in life when you can't listen to songs the same way. When the songs used to make you happy now make you sad or vice versa. And then there are the songs that make you remember how you felt in that moment of time. Here are only 5 songs out of many that I listen to differently now and always make me feel either happy, sad, or nostalgic.

1. "For Always, Forever," by Every Avenue

This song brings me back to the memories I have with my high school best friend. When we would belt this out at the top of our lungs back then, and we were as happy as can be. Sometimes I get teary eyed when I hear this song because she and I aren't as close now as we are back then, and I miss her.

2. "Skinny Love," by Bon Iver

This song makes me both happy and sad. Reminding me of how I felt in past relationships which makes me feel a little sad, but also happy because of how great my current relationship now. Yes I know that sounds a little weird, but I think most people understand that feeling.

3. "I Love You Always," by The Icarus Account

When hearing this song the first time I remember thinking that I wanted to know what it felt like to feel that kind of love. And now this song makes me so happy when I hear it because I have that kind of love in my life now.

4. "Scars," by James Bay

This song may be newer than the others, but I still find myself listening to it differently than most songs. It reminds me of my the best friend I've had for about 11 years, and you know sometimes with friends of the opposite sex try to go into the relationship realm and it doesn't work out. Well, that happened to us but I never imagined that we wouldn't be friends ever. It took awhile but we kinda mended that relationship and we have remained friends, but we are not as close as we once were.

5. "Straight Outta Compton," N.W.A

I know this sounds kinda weird and I know this song is way different than the others. But this song reminds me of car rides with my brother, who recently moved across the country to California, and him rapping along with every word. And I would try to rap along with him, but then ending up laughing and looking at him and being amazed at how he knows all the words.


I know all of us have songs that make us feel a certain way and that also brings back all sorts of memories. These are some of mine, let me know some of yours in the comments.

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.
