Pick-me-up Playlist

If you're ever feeling down or you're going through a rough time, music can always help you pull through. Music is an outlet for so many people, myself included. As humans, there's something about music that can always fit your mood or improve it. When I am feeling low, I love to hear music that will pick me up, or describe how I'm feeling. Here are 10 of my favorite pick-me-up songs, that no matter what your style of music is, the lyrics or tempo is upbeat and can make you smile:

10.If We're Honest Francesca Battistelli

While this song may be written and performed by a Christian songwriter/singer and it has religious themes, no matter what your religious beliefs are, anyone can relate to this song. It is so peaceful and calms me. It's lyrics ring true to everyone.

9.Believe in Me Demi Lovato

This song is all about loving yourself and learning to overcome adversity. Anyone who has ever had self confidence issues or body image issues should definitely check this out.

8.Stand by you Rachel Platten

This song is so fun and upbeat and is so inspiring. It is all about overcoming and having people who will always stand by you.

7.Brave Sara Barellis

We have all sat back and let people walk all over us at times, and this song is all about not sitting in the dark any longer. It always makes me feel empowered.

6.I Believe Christina Perri

This song is all about self discovery and hope. Believing in yourself is so cliche and cheesy, but it is actually one of the most important things you can do, and this song makes you feel that.

5.Blackbird The Beatles

This is my favorite song of all time. The guitar is so peaceful and the lyrics are so true. The Beatles are obviously classic, and so is this song.

4.Fight Song Rachel Platten

Pretty much everyone has heard this song at some point in the past year, and even if you are sick and tired of hearing it, it will always have a great message. It is your typical pop song that will get stuck in your head, but it is truly super fun and inspiring.

3.The Storm Flying Colors

This is a favorite song that I share with my Dad. It's lyrics are truly beautiful and uplifting. The music is also incredible with a great guitar solo and music break in the middle.

2.I Lived One Republic

This song was written by One Republic as a tribute to a fan who suffers from cystic fibrosis, a life threatening illness. Most people who live with this do not make it past about 40 years old. This fan has not let this stop him from living an extraordinary life. This song inspires me to live life to the fullest and always be positive.

1.Skyscraper Demi Lovato

This song is my go-to song whenever I'm feeling down. Demi Lovato has been through a lot and is very open about her experiences, which leads to honest and meaningful music.

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.
