15 Songs For When Life Is Just Too Much
Lauren Schugg

Everyone has days where they feel completely alone and like life is out to get them.

Since September 10th is National Suicide Prevention Day, I think that everyone should take a second to think about all of the things each and every one of us have to live for. When you're feeling hopeless, put your hand over your heart. Feel that beat? That's called purpose, so keep that heart beating.

Here are 15 (more) songs for when you're feeling like life is just too much and you just need a little help getting through the day:

1. "Everybody Hurts" by Avril Lavigne

Best Lyric: "Everybody hurts / Everybody screams / Everybody feels this way / And it's okay"

2.  "Stuck In The Middle" by Four Year Strong

Best Lyric: "So today I'm waking up to find that all I held inside wasn't worth it / I'm living out my broken dreams
/ I'm flying with a crippled wing"

3. "Around the World and Back" by State Champs

Best Lyric: "I'm not a hero or a saint / But don't push me away / When you believed in me it brought us together"

4. "Rock Bottom" by Neck Deep

Best Lyric: "Here I lay again, rock bottom / What was life? I've long forgotten / How the sun felt on my skin / Resurrect and start again"

5. "Untitled" by Knuckle Puck

Best Lyric: "Silhouettes on the ceiling / I've been much better but at least I'm healing / You know I haven't slept since you left but for me that's progress"

6. "Sixteen" by Real Friends

Best Lyric: "I find it kind of weird how you find yourself / When you have no one"

7. "Clairvoyant" by The Story So Far

Best Lyric: "Don't paint me black when I used to be golden"

8. "I Don't Like Who I Was Then" by The Wonder Years

Best Lyric: "I think I'm growing into someone you could trust / I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks / I want to run til my lungs give up"

9. "Pull Myself Together (Don't Hate Me)" by The Rocket Summer

Best Lyric: "And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again I know, but oh... / I must pull myself together / This is a brand new day / Pull myself away from my mistakes"

10. "Still Breathing" by Mayday Parade

Best Lyric: "I'm standing here alone / Trying to make this life my own / And nothing will keep this heart from beating / I'm still breathing"

11. "(Un)Lost" by The Maine

"And you are not allowed to be anybody else / Control what you can / Confront what you can't / And always remember how lucky you are to have yourself"

12. "Here I Am Alive" by Yellowcard

Best Lyrics: "I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground / But here I am alive"

13. "Night Feelings" by Man Overboard

Best Lyric: "Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid / And I felt like I knew everything / Now everything's against me"

14. "Battle Scars" by Paradise Fears

Best Lyric: "No you're not alone / Keep marching on / This is worth fighting for / You know we've all got battle scars"

15. "Nightmares" by All Time Low

Best Lyric: "I gotta say it's hard to be brave / When you're alone in the dark / I told myself that I wouldn't be scared / But I'm still having nightmares"

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
