15 Songs That Instantly Lift My Spirits

I am definitely the type of person whose bad day can be completely transformed by blasting a good song and having a dance party. Here are, in no particular order, 15 songs that always put me in a better mood.

1. "Good as Hell" - Lizzo

Lizzo just gets it. I feel empowered when I listen to this song.

2. "Have It All" - Jason Mraz

This is simply the happiest of songs, it's just Jason Mraz wishing the best for everyone.

3. "Brave" - Sara Bareilles

This song makes me feel like I can do anything and gives me the (temporary) confidence to do everything I am too scared to do.

4. "Life Is A Highway" - Rascal Flatts

This song has always made me happy. When I listen to it I feel like I am driving down an empty highway with my best friends, with the windows down, and with good tunes blasting.

5. "Come To Me" - The Goo Goo Dolls

I love The Goo Goo Dolls, but this song is my favorite because it is so sweet that every time I hear it I can't help but smile. It makes me think of love and happiness and excites me for the future.

6. "You Make My Dreams" - Daryl Hall & John Oates

This song reminds me of some very happy dance memories. It is also just a fun and upbeat song.

7. "That's Life" - Frank Sinatra

This song reminds me that when life knocks you down it will always pick you back up.

8. "Ants Marching" - Dave Matthews Band

My dad played this song frequently when I was younger and a friend recently reintroduced it to me. It's since become my go-to feel-good song.

9. "One Thing" - One Direction

This song is sweet, reminds me of being younger and careless, and reminds me of my older brother dancing at a Pirates game to it because "it's catchy!".

10. "Stand by Me" - Ben E. King

This song has a different vibe but is very light-hearted and reminds me of all the good people I have been blessed with in my life.

11. "It's Raining Men" - The Weather Girls

The girls that I babysit request this, sing this, and dance to it almost daily, and it never fails to make me laugh out loud.

12. "hot girl bummer" -blackbear

Honestly, this song is not a nice one. But is so catchy and makes me release all the stored anger I have and just vent.

13. "Make You Mine" - PUBLIC

I discovered this song on TikTok but it is different, upbeat, and of course, reminds me of all the cheesy TikToks I watched to it.

14. "It's All Been Done" - Barenaked Ladies

I used to rock out to this song with my family when I was little. It reminds me of that time in my life and is also just a fun little tune.

15. "1, 2, 3, 4" - Plain White T's

I always liked this song because it is sweet and lovey. But more recently, it has been making me smile because it reminds me of when I was in the car at school with four dear friends and we all sang along with it together. It was a moment of pure bliss being with some of my favorite people doing one of my favorite things (singing in the car).

Maybe you don't know some of these songs, maybe you hate some of these songs, but they make me happy for my own unique reasons. So, find the songs that make you happy and turn that frown upside down!

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.
