We all have those days where we need a little pick me up, whether it was caused by waking up on the wrong side of the bed, someone peed in our Cheerios or just not a great day. I have always found music has helped me get through the worst of days to the best of days because when words fail, music speaks.

Music has a way of saying everything you are feeling in just about 3 minutes so if you need some motivation, something to dance to, or even saying forget you, I have compiled a listed of 10 songs to help lift the mood.

1. The Light - Disturbed

When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

Not all Disturbed songs are "Oh, ah ah ah ah" (coming from someone who loves Disturbed) but this song is definitely one to make you feel like when one door closes another one opens.

2. Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Fleetwood Mac is a classic and how can you not tap your foot, sing along and just feel happier with this one?

3. Haterz - Todrick Hall

So turn the radio up
Play that beat loud
For everyone that tried to bring me down
This one's for you
This one's for you
So make the radio blast
Hands in the air
They can kiss my -
Ask me if I care
This one's for you
This one's for you
Haterz

Honestly a great "f you" song with a fantastic upbeat tune. This is all about self-love and not caring what others think.

4. When The Day Comes - Nico & Vinz

Even when the sky comes falling down
I'll be ready when the sky comes falling down

Watch the music video, you won't regret it. It shows inner strength and to keep fighting even if it is difficult.

5. I'm Still Standing - Elton John

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

The version from "Sing" is also fantastic, but this just reminds us that we are still standing and to keep moving forward.

6. Try Everything - Shakira

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything

Honestly, watch "Zootopia." Not only is that a great feel-good movie, this song will only enhance that feeling.

7. Roll With It - Steve Winwood

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door
I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby

A fantastic beat, it just grooves. Whenever life is hard, just roll with it and you'll be fine.

8. You Make My Dreams - Hall and Oates

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with a dreamer
I can laugh it in the face

This is a fun upbeat song that we all know and can't help but sing along to. It will put you in a good mood and lift the spirits.

9. I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

This song just makes you want to dance and puts you in a good mood. Sometimes you just have to dance it out.

10. Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm going to go go go
There's not stopping me

Queen, what a classic. Nothing can stop you, so keep pushing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
