13 Songs For 13 Miles

A Half-Marathon is a pretty long ways if you ask me...

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.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
