10 Songs To Listen To When You're Having A Bad Day

Sometimes, everything just sucks. There's no getting around it, everything just sucks. It happens to everyone, for some reason, everything that could possibly go wrong all decides to at once. Sometimes you can't do anything about it, you just have to sit back, and listen to some music. Listening to a song isn't going to solve your problems, but sometimes, you have to star in your own music video for a minute, especially when life is hitting you hard. Here's a list of songs to jam out to (and maybe sob to, if we're being honest) when everything really sucks.

1. "Thks fr th mmrs" by Fallout Boy

A lot of you may remember this song from your middle school emo phase, (a phase that for some us, never really ended, Pete Wentz will always have my heart.) but if you've never heard it, then go listen right now. If you're feeling nostalgic, angry, or just overall like you need to hear some angst ridden dude sing your emotions, this song will help.

2. "Medicine" by Daughter

Featured on their "Wild Youth" EP, this song, (and every song they release) is sure to hit you deep in your feels. Grab this tissues for this one folks. While you're out, be sure to check out Daughter's other songs.

3. "Fall" by Palisades

This song, which came out in February of 2016, is a great song to listen to when you feel utterly heart broken. It's rhythm, tempo, and chorus are all amazing, and it flows amazingly.

4. "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright

Hard hitting lyrics, a twisted lullaby, and a melody sad enough to make you feel like putting on your big sweatpants, find a tub of ice cream, and not leave bed for at least three days. Better known to some as the Shrek song, and maybe rightfully slow as it will hit you in all of your layers.

5. "I'm Just A Kid" by Simple Plan

Are you just a kid, even though you are in fact a full blown adult? Is life a nightmare? If so, you will spiritually relate to this song. Perfect for those nights when you're all alone, and socializing is the last thing on your mind.


6. "Dark Times" by The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran

Have you ever felt like your life is a joke that the universe has taken too far? Have you ever had a week so bad you feel like you could sleep for three months straight? If so then you should give this song a listen to. If you just want to be sad for a few minutes, and cry it out, this will help.

7. "Maybe IDK" by Jon Bellion

A groovy beat, a stellar voice, and a heart of gold, every Jon Bellion song is sure to wow you. "Maybe IDK" is great for those days when you just don't have a clue what is going on in your life, or where to go from here.

8. "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors

The song itself is wonderful and the music video is even better. Another tear jerker for sure. Hold onto this song.

9. "Taxi Cab" by Twenty One Pilots.

You ever just wanna get in your car and drive for a really long time? No destination in my mind, no plan. You just gotta drive away. This is a good song to drive away from everything to. Don't be afraid.

10. "Between the Bars" by Elliot Smith.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just don't want anyone to ask you how're you doing? You don't want to tell anyone else anything. You just wanna be tired. I guess we're doing fine. Between the Bars is a great song for when you're not really sure how you're doing.

Things suck, music doesn't. I hope you give these songs a listen, and I hope whatever you're dealing with, you have some solid music to help you through it.

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.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
