100 Songs For Impossible Things

Sometimes we experience moments that are indescribable. And because we can’t bring others to feel what it felt like in that very moment, that memory remains easily accessible. Words are powerful, in a sense, but feelings are just that much more powerful. Take both and put them together, well, that’s music.

Now, obviously no one has the same exact music taste. I will tell you now, this playlist is partially inspired by the hit TV series One Tree Hill. Before you cringe, here's why: I remained highly skeptical of the show before I ever watched it because everyone watched it. But I ended up loving it, because the choice of music is what made the moments. I commend the episode revolving around Peyton, her birthmother, and "To Wish Impossible Things" by The Cure for it's beautiful and graceful sorrow. It's not just the words that make you want to cry, it's the violin, the drums, and the guitar. It is the music.

So, if you are feeling anything from the kind of excitement you get when you see someone you haven’t seen in a long time; to the longing of desperately searching for something lost; to using all your strength to keep your voice from shaking and your tears from falling; to some, all, and any forms of happiness; to the frustration and anger of being the one and only one; to the kind of broken that only love can cause, I guarantee there is something here for you. I'm not saying these are the best songs ever written, not at all, but they certainly speak to me, and I hope just one song speaks to you as well.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
