Monday Morning "Get Pumped" Playlist

I don’t know about you, but I have the biggest problem with getting out of bed in the morning, especially on Mondays. It is the beginning of a new week meaning I have to get ready early in the morning for long science classes everyday of the week and endless streams of homework. But wait! There is a remedy to relieve my, and maybe your, pain of waking up in the morning; music. So I have compiled a playlist of roughly 50 songs, all of which I will not list here, but just a few that are sure you get you pumped to conquer the day and the rest of the week. I have separated them by mood (you’re welcome).

Happy

1. "Clouds," One Direction

    Yes, I started this playlist with 1D, but you have to admit they can be pretty good. I love the boys and "Clouds" is a surefire way to get me awake in the morning. The song starts with a quick riff on the electric guitar and the boys belt “clouds” in harmony to the rhythm of the song, which is guaranteed to get you jumping out of bed.

      2. "Elevate," St. Lucia

        The song slowly builds up and rolls on, getting the listener into a mellow mood. The song is truly elevating, pun intended.

          3. "Move Your Feet," Junior Senior

            Don't stop, don’t stop the feet / Won't stop, won't stop the beat and go! These are the opening lyrics, which obviously can get a person energized. As you should be, you have to go to work or school!

              4. "Better Run," Royal Bangs

                This song can make you feel like running, hence the title. The energy of the song never lets up until the end.

                Mellow

                1. "Lovefool" Kat Edmonson

                This is one of those songs I keep to myself as a secret because I love it so much. Kat’s rendition of The Cardigans' song is a slow, jazzy, sultry version.

                2. "Sleeping Ute," Grizzly Bear

                  This song always reminds me of some kind of Led Zeppelin song. I have no idea why. Don’t let the title fool you; the guitars will keep you focused.

                    3. "In the Open," Benjamin Francis Leftwich

                      Here is another song I keep to myself. I listened to this a lot senior year in the morning because of its airy strums of the acoustic guitar, and the light drum reminds me of sunrise.

                        4. "Midnight City," M83

                        This EDM song will definitely get you out of bed fast (without making your head spin). The singer's voice isn't too loud; it almost sounds like it's distant while the music switches between loud and soft. Midnight City is also a good song for driving or walking to class.

                          “I’m the Sh*t”

                          1. "7/11," Beyonce

                            This one is self-explanatory. If you haven’t heard/seen this song/music video, I’ll just assume you’re living under a rock. Or just not into hip-hop.

                              2. "Flawless Remix," Beyonce, Nicki Minaj

                                See above.

                                  3. "Legend," Drake

                                    See first part of Number One.

                                      4. "Peaches N Cream," Snoop Dogg, Charlie Wilson, Pharrell

                                        Snoop is back! With a new vision for his music, he asked Pharrell (who has had his hands on nearly every amazing song you’ve heard) to help him take it back to the '70s with his funky (yup) album.

                                        Leave Me Alone

                                        1. "G.O.M.D.," J. Cole

                                          Get Off My D*ck is what it stands for. The beat is just enough to get you pumped to flip the bird when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

                                            2. "Heads Will Roll," Yeah Yeah Yeahs

                                              Off with your head! What a great phrase to say to people when you want to be alone in the morning (like me). Karen O’s voice is authoritative while the rock-filled dance song keeps the listener moving.

                                                3. "Drop the World," Lil Wayne, Eminem

                                                  Off Wayne’s 2010 album, "Rebirth," he and Em vent their frustrations with an equally angry sound of hip-hop-infused rock. Definitely worth a listen.

                                                    4. "I Don’t F*ck With You," Big Sean

                                                      This is the anthem of a generation, enough said. Even the title speaks for itself.

                                                      These are just some of the songs that get me going, and I hope whoever is reading this got a boost for their mornings. The playlist is on Spotify and feel free to contact me with any songs that get you going (no country, sorry, I listen to this playlist). I'll be updating it. Here's to conquering Monday mornings!

                                                      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.

                                                      The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

                                                      19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

                                                      There have been many lessons learned.

                                                      Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

                                                      I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

                                                      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.
