You know when you're casually listening to music on shuffle and then a song comes on that sends you into a spiral of high school war flashbacks? These are some of those songs. They're still bops though, but only when you're expecting them.

I Miss You- Blink 182

I Miss You is iconic and very good for scream-singing, because the song itself is scream-sung. Speaking of Blink- 182, remember Adam's Song? That's a traumatizing emo song.

Jesus Christ- Brand New

If you've never listened to Brand New, don't start for two reasons: 1. Every single Brand New song hurts, and 2. You'll join all of the other people in the world who say that Jesus Christ is their emo song.

The Middle- Jimmy Eat World

Honestly, The Middle is a truly great song in my opinion and inspiring rather than upsetting but for it to be inspiring the song has to be about overcoming emo things, I guess? The Middle has a great message and is a great reminder that yes, everything is going to be alright because we're all in "the middle of the ride" of life.

Twin Sized Mattress- The Front Bottoms

Another great song that evokes so much nostalgia! When I was 16 this song evoked nostalgia even though I didn't have anything to be nostalgic about. This Bop might be worth playing when you have the AUX so you and your friends can scream at the top of your lungs.

Teen Idle- Marina and the Diamonds

Instead of being 16 burning up a Bible and feeling super super super, suicidal? A mood. I'll admit to being a huge Marina fan now, but I definitely cannot listen to Teen Idle to this day because it takes me back to places that I do not want to revisit.

I'm Not Okay (I Promise) and Famous Last Words- My Chemical Romance

I'm Not Okay and Famous Last words are, in my opinion, the beginning and the end of emo bops. The represent where emo songs can start at (like, sad) and where they can end up (also sad but kind of uplifting?). Famous Last Words is another song that I like to think about, because I really want to get to that point in life where I fearlessly and fiercely experience every day and live to my fullest.

My Immortal- Evanescence

We all know Evanescence from Wake Me Up (mostly because its a meme) but in my opinion My Immortal is more important as an emo bop. Lines like "I'm so tired of being here," really solidify that. On a side note, the orchestral arrangements that are found on the alum 'Synthesis' are way better than the original and are more eerie (and therefore semi-goth).

All I Wanted- Paramore

The way Hayley Williams sang this song? Heartbreaking. She really pours her heart out on this song, which everyone can relate to because who hasn't been in a place where all you wanted was that other person? It's an intense song with intense emotions and yes, I have cried while listening to it in the past, and sometimes when I hear it in a casual setting I do feel like I'm getting punched in the face.

The Kill- 30 Seconds to Mars

This song is still a bop because it's fun to sing! In my opinion it's gotten better with age as I now appreciate the melodrama instead of thinking that I related to the melodrama.

Dark Blue- Jack's Mannequin

If you haven't heard Dark Blue you should listen to it now because it's funny. I thought it was funny back in the day, too, but the lyrics are seriously relatable despite being hilarious.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
