Five Mister Rogers Songs To Help You Through A Rough Day

Alexandra Michalski

It's been almost two decades since Mister Roger's Neighborhood went off the air, but now more than ever are his lessons needed. The world around us may seem hectic and crazy, but Mister Rogers always knew what to say to calm our nerves. Through his songs he taught us a variety of lessons, like how to process and anger or how to show love, and even today these lessons still prove to be true. These songs help remind us that no matter how bad of a day you've had, Mister Rogers will always be there for you with some words of wisdom.

1. Won't You Be My Neighbor?

"Hi there, neighbor."

Alexandra Michalski

Mister Rogers would always sing this song as he came in the door and donned his famous array of sweaters, so it's no surprise that this is the first song on the list. With a simple yet honest greeting, Mister Rogers let us know that he excited to call us his neighbor and invite us into his neighborhood full of fun.

What Do You Do With the Mad That You Feel?

It's okay to feel angry sometimes.

Alexandra Michalski

This song helps kids (and adults) process their feelings of anger. He lets us know that we shouldn't invalidate our feelings but accept that we are mad and choose to do something good instead. By choosing to do good actions instead of bad, we can become the best version of ourselves.

Sometimes People Are Good

Not everyone is good all the time.

Alexandra Michalski

No one is perfect 100% of the time, not even Mister Rogers. By acknowledging that good people can be bad sometimes, it helps explain how the world isn't perfectly split between those who are good and those who are bad.

There are Many Ways to Say I Love You

Planting things together is a good way to say I love you.

Alexandra Michalski

We all know that everyone shares their love in different and unique ways and Mister Rogers knows it too. He lists several different ways children can tell important people in their life how to show they love them. This song isn't just for the kids though, Mister Rogers himself states that "As you grow, I trust that you are finding many more ways to show and tell people that you love them. Those are the most important things that you'll ever learn to do." So get out there and spread that love to the important people in your life!

It's Such a Good Feeling

Mister Rogers will always be waiting to welcome you back to the neighborhood.

Alexandra Michalski

Mister Rogers always made sure to end his day with this special song that tells each of us that we're special and unique individuals. On days when it feels like you're alone in the world, Mister Rogers is there telling you that "There's only one person in the whole world exactly like you, and that's you yourself, and people can like you exactly as you are."

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

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.
