5 Best Fall Out Boy Songs For The 5 Stages Of Finals Grief
Noisey

In my opinion, Fall Out Boy is the greatest pop-punk band there is. Their lyrics make so little sense that they make perfect sense and their anthem-style songs can motivate any listener, which makes them the perfect band to tune in to during finals. Whether it's the beginning, middle or end of finals, I am positive there is an FOB song that can help rejuvenate you. Here are some of their greatest hits that will help you hone in on all of your stages of finals grief and turn them into something better, maybe even something productive!

1. "Forth of July"



"You and I were fireworks that went off too soon."

Off their newest album American Beauty/American Psycho, Fall Out Boy has found the perfect lyric to capture how we all feel about the beginning of finals: It all started too soon. We weren't ready. We're never ready. And look at that kid's face on the album cover. He knows what we're going through.

2. "I Don't Care"



"The best of us can find happiness in misery."

This sassy hit off Folie à Deux (circa 2008) captures our sentiments about finals exactly. We don't want to care about them, but we have to, so we try and find some kind of happiness in the bitterness of it all to keep us going.

3. "Novocaine"


"Because they took our love and they filled it up, filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb."

This one is for when you've been looking at the computer screen for seven hours straight and you can't feel your face anymore.

4. "Dance, Dance"


"She said she's no good with words but I'm worse."

We all have that friend who says that their papers are horrible and that they can't write. All of our responses are, "Yeah, okay, but my paper is definitely worse." So what if I'm taking this chart topper from the 2005 album From Under The Cork Tree a little out of context? We're all just falling apart at half-time, anyway.

5. "Alone Together"



"I don't know where I'm going but do you got room for one more troubled soul?"

This song, which is from my favorite album Save Rock and Roll, is the epitome of how we feel at the end of finals. We don't know what we're doing and we're all tired and troubled. We may feel alone but we always have each other (and FOB) to help get us through the hard times.

Let the jazzy-rock vocals of Patrick Stump heal you as you complete your finals. Fall Out Boy is here for you and they always will be, as long as they keep pumping out amazing hits like these!

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.
