14 Love Songs To Blast When You Feel Like A Lonely Sack Of Trash

Pablo Heimplatz

We all feel down sometimes, and music does a great job of providing us with moments to let it all out. Here are some of my favorite tracks to unload to on a bad day.

1. "Only Us" - Laura Dreyfuss & Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen)

This song keeps up with the rest of the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack in that the songs are painfully relatable. Insecurity is a universal feeling, and finding someone who accepts your insecurities is a beautiful thing.

2. "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele

I know this song was originally performed by Bob Dylan, but Adele's version is so hauntingly beautiful. It's literally not possible for my eyes to stay dry when I listen to it.

3. "Last Night On Earth" - Green Day

This is not only one of my favorite Green Day songs, but one of my favorite love songs of all time. The title is pretty self-explanatory, and it is, again, another song I can't listen to without crying.

4. "Speechless" - Dan + Shay

Everything about this song (and album, in all honesty) makes me sob with cynical loneliness. At the same time, I'm a hopeless romantic and the music video is quite possibly the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

5. "SUMMER" - BROCKHAMPTON

This song is so simple but so meaningful. BROCKHAMPTON isn't typically known for their songs like this, but this one is incredible.

6. "Enchanted" - Taylor Swift

Almost all of Taylor Swift's discography would be a good fit for this playlist, in all honesty. In this song, Swift explains how she is (wait for it) enchanted after meeting someone who swept her away.

7. "Tennessee Whiskey" - Chris Stapleton

This, like many other songs on this playlist, is a song that makes me want to dance around my house with my (nonexistent) significant other. Also, Chris Stapleton's voice is breathtakingly soulful, so that makes him worthy of this playlist.

8. "Without Love" - Hairspray

While this song isn't simply talking about romantic love, it's still a pretty sappy song. The song itself is pretty important in that its message is that everyone is worthy of love, regardless of race, size, or upbringing.

9. "Die A Happy Man" - Thomas Rhett

This one also fits into the "dance around the house with your significant other" category and this playlist would be incomplete without it.

10. "Rewrite the Stars" - Zendaya & Zac Efron (The Greatest Showman)

Like "Without Love," the message of this song is that love transcends skin color. The two characters understand the challenges of being together but are willing to push through them.

11. "Thinking 'Bout You" - Dua Lipa

This song speaks for itself, honestly. We've all experienced this once or twice in our lifetimes.

12. "Faithfully" - Journey

Everything about this song makes me want to sit in my car and cry. The lyrics are incredibly cheesy but who wouldn't want a song dedicated to them?

13. "Fallingforyou" - The 1975

Everything about this song takes me back to high school and my days of unrequited feelings.

14. "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" - Death Cab for Cutie

This song is one of my favorite songs of all time for more reasons than one. The simplicity of the song allows the lyrics to stand out - and for good reason. The singer will stay with his love until the very end.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
