9 Unexpected Songs To Help You Relax

Josh Foster

Since we're nearing midterm season, I decided to compile a list of songs that should help you calm down when you're in a state of total panic. Enjoy some of the most relaxing tunes from my collection.

1. "I'm Already Gone" by A Day To Remember

This slow acoustic ballad is perfect for focusing your mind on the important things in life and looking back to fond memories while expelling bad ones.

2. "Light it Up" by for KING & COUNTRY

Pretty much anything by for KING & COUNTRY is guaranteed to calm you down, but this one works exceptionally well.

3. "Summertime" by My Chemical Romance

I know MCR aren't known for their relaxing melodies, but give this one a shot anyway.

4. "Lead Me Out of the Dark" by Crown the Empire

The title of this song also serves as an accurate representation of how it will affect you.

5. "Interlude" by Attack Attack!

If you need a dance break, here's Michelle Obama to teach you the "interlude dance." Enjoy.

6. "Tess-Timony" by Ice Nine Kills

This song is equal parts heartfelt and murder-y, which could be exactly what you need. And if your midterm is in Brit Lit, this song will help you get some studying done--it's based off of Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

7. "Best Is Yet To Come" by Red

This song is so inspiring it hurts.

8. "Madness" by Sleeping With Sirens

Don't be misled by the title: this is a song to take deep breaths to and to clear your mind with.

9. "Anathema" by Twenty One Pilots

This is by far the most refreshing song I know. Let it clear your mind and soul. Peace.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.
