The Ultimate Playlist For When You Run Out Of Songs
Playbuzz

I consume music manically. After finding a great new song, I will listen to it for days on days repeatedly until my mind just zones out when I'm listening to it. I run out of new music to listen to and have to resort to the meaningless crap on the radio. I literally run through bands with brilliant lyrics and strong messages. To me, music adds an extra dimension to poetry, if used correctly. So here is essentially a playlist of songs I to listen to when all your music seems boring. All these songs are catchy and way better than listening to radio hits.

1. Anything from the 1975

I've written quite a few articles about them now because sadly I'm obsessed. And you will be too! There are so few bands who know so much about music and do so much of it themselves. If you look at their credits on their albums or singles, its written and produced by them through their independent label, Dirty Hits. Sorry, I'll stop now.

Catchy songs to start out with:

"The Sound" (you've probably heard this somewhere- Volkswagen commercial?- but didnt know who it was by)

"Somebody Else" (personal favorite)

"UGH!" (not that wierd considering their second album title is "i like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it")

"Girls", and "Robbers."

They won a Brit award for Best Group 2017!!

2. Marina and the Diamonds

Ah, my first concert and my gateway music artist. Before listening to her music, I would never really listen to music for its lyrics, but rather for its catchy tune and how something sounded. Now I listen to both and its all thanks to:

"I am not a robot"

"Teen Idle" - perfectly captures the teen angst of a female teen

"Oh No!" - greed and materialism

"State of Dreaming" - "i live my life inside a dream"

Honestly, all her songs are catchy and easy to sing along to.

3. "There's a Honey" by Pale Waves

Very catchy and beautiful song about worrying that you love someone more than they would ever want or love you. Plus, it sounds like a 1975 song (probably because the 1975 produced it and Pale Waves is signed to Dirty Hits).

4. Anything other than Maroon 5

Masquerading as a band that is literally just Adam Levine. I cant name any other members sorry. I mean have you ever heard someone say: "omg I love Maroon 5!" Their passive and neutral music just doesn't inspire any emotion.

Also guilty for masquerading as a band but produces nothing but generic, boring Top 40 pop music.

5. "home" by morgxn

If you love a great beat, catchy tune, and a smooth voice, this is the perfect song. Whenever I'm homesick I listen to this, and can literally relate so much, but it is not a sad song.

6. Sweet Disaster by DREAMERS

If you love rock music (or if you don't) you'll love this guitar beat driven song. I have no idea what the message is, but I think it might be something along the lines of YOLO. Which I can relate to.

7. "Quiet Little Voices" by We Were Promised Jetpacks

Another great band with a guitar driven background.

8. "Loudspeaker" by MUNA

As I write this, they're actually performing at Brighton Music Hall in Boston near me. Too bad I didn't find out till today...

Anyways, if you love electronic music with a solid beat from a strong girl group, MUNA is what you're looking for. Their music is really easy to sing along to and super beautiful!

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Panicking and pulling all-nighters will not allow you to get an A.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
