Feeling down? Need something to keep you going until the next break in school? Here you go! The perfect playlist to brighten your day. There are definitely more songs to add to your personal "Feel Good" playlist at your own discretion. However, after talking to some students on campus and searching the internet for music, these gems were found and decided on. Enjoy these in any particular order and maybe have a little dance sesh.

"Three Little Birds" -Bob Marley & The Wailers

Stressed? Maybe overwhelmed...? Well don't worry about a thing... you know how it goes. The perfect song to calm yourself down and get ready for all the amazing things you will accomplish. It was released in 1977.

"Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" -Shakira

This song was once the theme for the FIFA Cup and is known for being super inspirational and fun. Definitely, a bop that brings everyone together with the joy that is music and dance.

"Don't Stop Me Now" -Queen

With the Queen hype still going strong, who doesn't love an inspirational anthem to play throughout the day. It is from the album "Jazz" that was released in 1979. A true bop.

"Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" -Michael Jackson

My personal favorite artist of all time. Had to throw some MJ into this list of bops. Who doesn't love this well-known beat and exciting vocal set?! We love a true king! From the album "Off the Wall" album released in 1979. Always a motivational song to get you going for the day.

"Sweet Caroline" -Neil Diamond

Giphy

SWEET CAROLINE...BUM BUM BUUUUMMMM!!! We all know it and can sing along. One of the best songs for a road trip or a boring day that could use some excitement. It was released a single in 1969 and is still well known today.

"Celebration" -Kool and the Gang

Perfect for every celebration even the small ones. A fun tune to get you moving in your office chair. It was released as a single in 1980.

"September" -Earth, Wind, & Fire

Do you remember? Of course, you do!! An easily recognizable song to add to every classics playlist. My home studio used to end every show with this as the finale because it was a sure fire way to get everyone on their feet. It was released in 1978 as a single and then with the album, "I Am".

"Send Me On My Way" -Rusted Root

Giphy

The perfect song for a fun-filled road trip!! I cannot express this enough! It is a must-have on your driving playlist It was released as a single in 1995 and you cannot go wrong with this pick.

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" -Bobby McFerrin

Giphy

Obviously, how can you be sad when the song is telling you to be happy. It was released in 1988 and always can brighten your day.

"Dancing Queen" -ABBA

Dancing Queen, young and sweet!!!! All the love for this powerful anthem. It was the leading single from the album "Arrival" released in 1976. It was brought back to life with the hit musical, "Mamma Mia".

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
