Feeling Stressed? You'll Feel Better After You Listen To These 10 Songs

1. Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae

"Put Your Records On" always gets me out of my weirdest, most stressful funks. I listen to it in the bath or shower, on my way to class, and before a test. Because it reminds me to be myself but also be the best I can be at the same time.


2. XO - Beyonce

"XO" by Beyonce always calms me down because of its relaxed and soulful nature. Beyonce is a Queen at bringing those low alto and tenor notes, and making any song more relaxing.


3. Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson

"Banana Pancakes" is the type of song you listen to when you need to feel like a kid again, after a long stressful week of adulting. It is soothing, slow and relaxing, and makes you think about pancakes. What could be better than that?

4. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root

If you are looking to get up and get active after a stressful day, this song is for you. "Send Me On My Way" is inspiring, feel-good, and a happy song overall. It is upbeat and sort of hippie-ish which is always a plus.

5. She Will Be Loved (demo) - Maroon 5

Another great song is Maroon 5's demo version of "She Will Be Loved." It is one of the most relaxing songs that I listen to on a bad day.

6. Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

"Sunday Morning" is quite basically my early Sunday morning jam song. When you get the Sunday scaries and start stressing about everything that is due on Monday, turn up the music, and let this soulful song by Maroon 5 calm you down.

7. Count On Me - Bruno Mars

"Count On Me" by Bruno Mars reminds me even when I'm having the worst day that there are always people I can count on to cheer me up and lean on. And that friendships and families are what get you through the toughest times.


8. Never Gonna Leave This Bed - Maroon 5

This oldie but goodie by Maroon 5 is the perfect feel-good, upbeat song to get you out of those end-of-the-semester blues. This can be a very stressful time of year, and sometimes you just have to be content with never leaving your bed.

9. Psycho - Post Malone

The lyrics to "Psycho" are not the most relaxing, but more the music in the song and his deep, soothing, relaxed voice. Post Malone has real talent, and it shows in his song, "Psycho".

10. This Is The Life - Two Door Cinema Club

Famous for its popularity after being featured in the movie Soul Surfer, this song resembles summer time and surfing in the ocean. It is the perfect song to escape to and listen to over and over again to calm down and visualize yourself on a beach.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
