13 Songs For 13 Miles

Anna Tust

A half marathon is a pretty long ways if you ask me. 13 whole miles of running is typically not my type of fun. Some people can run on pure adrenaline, but I'm also not that kind of person. Music is what I use to fuel my runs, especially the long ones. Clearly this isn't enough music to get me through almost 3 hours of running but, here are 13 of my favorite songs that help me to get through 13 miles!

1. Dessert - Dawin ft. Silento

Trust me Dawin, the dessert is the first thing I’m looking forward to the minute I’m done running.

2. Gibberish - MAX ft. Hoodie Allen

If you try to talk to me while I’m running, I can promise all that will come out of my mouth will be gibberish.

3. Team - Iggy Azalea

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Iggy knows how to make me feel like quite the empowered woman.

4. Guillotine - Jon Bellion

The French may have thought a guillotine was good punishment…they also could have used running, for sure.

5. 2 Phones - Kevin Gates

Well Kevin Gates, you may have 2 phones, but I have 2 legs .. that will carry my 13 whole miles…hopefully…if we’re lucky…

6. Coffee Break - Kyle Lucas

As nice as a coffee break sounds, I’m sure a water break would be even nicer!

7. My Couch - Jake Miller

Yeah, I’d definitely rather be on my couch too…

8. Tidal Wave - EVVY

Did we lose everything in the tidal wave? I mean I didn’t but I sure look like I got hit with one based on how much I’m sweating…

9. How I Want Ya (Dawin Remix) - Hudson Thames ft. Hailee Steinfeld

In this case, "how I want ya" refers to my feelings towards the food at the end, or maybe even a bottle of water.

10. Fergalicious - Fergie

If Fergie is still up in the gym just working on her fitness, I think that means I better be too..

11. Does Ya Mama Know (Dance Like That) - 99 Percent

I don’t have a clever catch line for this song, but it gets me hyped every time it comes on. Every single time.

12. Panda - Desiigner

Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda. Panda.

13. Kiiara - Gold

Gold. The color my participation medal better be once I cross the finish line.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
