Everyone goes through something sh*tty a few times in their life. It could be related to romance, career choices, even the loss of a loved one. As a depressed romantic and a possible dreamer, I've realized that our lives can be compared to movies. We have a beginning, a middle, and a finale. We're just countless movies in a studio of life, all cliches intended. However, we must turn to soundtracks. Many are composed and some are taken from artists' albums, respectively. For college teens and such, a soundtrack is just the right thing we need when something sh*tty is happening or ending.
