As 2016 comes to an end, it's time to think back on all the good times we had this year. Ok, maybe not a lot comes to mind when I say that. So I decided to make a list of songs that got us through this tough year instead. I took to Facebook to see what my friends would say and this is what they came up with. The quotes after the videos are the reasons my friends have gave.

1. Scars to Your Beautiful, by Alessia Cara

The explanation: "Because when everything seems lost? When depression takes to me, I remember that I'm okay. I don't have to look like a model. I can be who I am and those who accept me do."

2. Waving Through A Window, sung by Ben Platt, from the musical Dear Evan Hansen by Pasek and Paul

The explanation: "it's essentially the story of my life and it's such a good, uplifting, and powerful jam. If you're into musical theatre, 100% suggest you give it a listen!"

3. Sit Still and Look Pretty, by Daya

The explanation: "Because it's a feminist jam." Short and sweet explanation.

4. Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time, by Panic! At the Disco

The explanation: My friend didn't give a reason for this, but I really love this song. It's one that you can dance to.

5. The Schuyler Sisters, from the musical Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda

The explanation: This song is really inspirational and is fun to listen to. I highly recommend this musical in general because well it's amazing.

6. Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second, by STRFKR

The explanation: "Idk why but whenever i hear the song i feel uplifted. I think its the beat but i call it my happy song and its prob my fav i heard this year"

7. We Are Family, by Sister Sledge

The explanation: "because of our family reunion last summer"

8. Cover Me, by Bruce Springsteen

The explanation: "Because of the concert I went to this fall was the highlight of the year."

9. Side to Side, by Ariana Granda ft. Nicki Minaj

The explanation: "fun to sing and pumps me up."

10. Can't Stop the Feeling, by Justin Timberlake

The explanation: This is the best dance song of 2016 in my opinion. I had to blast it on the radio whenever it came on while I was driving.

11. Cake By the Ocean, by DNCE

The explanation: This is one of the songs that constantly kept getting stuck in my head but I didn't mind it because I loved the song.
