A Definitive Ranking Of The Angst-Filled Jams Of Your Youth

I peaked in 2007. With my brightly colored sweatshirts from American Apparel and my frequent buyer card from Hot Topic, I was the flyest girl at my single-sex catholic school. Here are a few of my favorite songs from the days when I thought my life was difficult when really I just had really bad hair and ate way too much frozen yogurt.

10. Dakota by A Rocket to the Moon


My friends and I obsessed over this band's carrot top lead singer for hours at a time.

9. Color by The Maine


"We're just trying to find some color in a black and white world." The perfect lyric for a 14-year-old who was feeling jaded.

8. Natives by Blink-182

A great song by the poster boys for teen angst.

7. My Beautiful Rescue by This Providence


This singer's voice eternally sounds like he just had his dog put down and had just stopped crying after 3 days of grief.

6. Her Words Destroyed My Planet by Motion City Soundtrack


Specifically remember playing this in my car after I got uninvited to prom for the second time.

5. Coffeeshop Soundtrack by All Time Low

I spent about four hours trying to learn the four chords that this song has on guitar.

4. Camisado by Panic! At The Disco


Brendon Urie's top hats and eyeliner-caked eyes were iconic.

3. Everything's Magic by Angels and Airwaves


When a poster boy of angst quit his band, the angst multiplied.

2. Kiss My Sass by Cobra Starship

This band broke up last week and a part of me died. As a former Cobra Crew member, I attended 5 concerts and paid for a few meet and greets. Gabe Saporta might as well have been the second coming of Jesus.

1. Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy


The quintessential "emo" song of the 2000's, "Hum Hallelujah"'s lyrics would be the perfect background to a poorly made romantic teen comedy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
