19 Pick-Me-Up Songs That'll Have You 'Singing in The Rain'

If you're on this page, odds are you're not feeling too hot. Whether it's a bad grade, bad day, bad life, WHATEVER it may be, here's a little list I made.

Some won't work, but most definitely will, and everything should be easily found on YouTube or Spotify. I hope you find something you'll add to your own playlist.

1. "Keep Your Head Up" - Andy Grammer

This should be no surprise on a list like this. Keep your head up people; the days will get better.

2. "A Million Dreams" - Greatest Showman Soundtrack

This just makes you feel warm inside because it's that reminder that all of us have amazing dreams. It's up to us to bring those dreams to light (also, watch the movie; it's FANTASTIC).

3. "Feels Great" - Cheat Codes, Fetty Wap, CVBZ

Just a reminder to appreciate your past, love where you are, and it feels great, man.

4. "Good Old Days" - Macklemore, Kesha

A touch of nostalgia is just what the doctor ordered to make your heart happy.

5. "Rockstar" - Nickelback

I don't care what ANYONE says about Nickelback because this song is freaking amazing. That kind of song to jam to with someone you love, both of you screaming at the top of your lungs, and getting that smile that won't wear off for a while.

6. "Wonders" - The Script

This one is a tad more somber at first, but it's really a reminder to seize the day and live your life the way YOU want to. It's your life and no one else's.

7. "Give Love" - Andy Grammer

Don't be afraid to bop your head to this song and always, always, ALWAYS GIVE LOVE!

8. "iSpy" - KYLE, Lil Yachty

Yes, I know not the best of messages in a song. But, you gotta admit that the groove sticks in your head for a loooooooooong time.

9. "Here's to the Zeros" - Marianas Trench

Not all of us are the star quarterback or the prom queen, but that doesn't make you any less a person.

10. "I'd Love to Change the World" - Jetta, Matstubs

This is just a fun hype song if you need a little extra to keep going.

11. "HandClap" - Fitz and the Tantrums

If you're not clapping, you're doing it wrong.

12. "Come with Me Now" - KONGOS

The true headbanger (don't lie to yourself, you know the lyrics).

13. "Life is Beautiful" - Tim McMorris

Life is beautiful and a lot of us don't see it. This kinda reminds you how amazing it can be.

14. "I Don't Wanna Be Sad" - Simple Plan

No one likes to be sad, but this will hopefully get you out of those sweatpants, off the couch, and back into the real world.

15. "WORDS WORDS WORDS" - Bo Burnham

I LOVE MUSICAL COMEDY so why not go with this crazy mess of a song (warning: Very weird and possibly offensive - ENJOY).

16. "Glorious" - Macklemore, Skylar Grey

The kind of song to speed down the highway with the windows open and the top down (not like I've done it...just heard it's fun).

17. "All Summer Long" - Kid Rock

Our parents had "Sweet Home Alabama." This is our version.

18. "Brand New" - Ben Reactor

If you need to, do what you gotta do, to feel like you.

19. "Singing In The Rain" - Simple Plan

There are no rainbows without rain. This makes you wanna sing in spite of all the rain pouring down on top of you.

* * *

Whatever that's got you down for the count... can go shove it. I hope at LEAST one of these songs found their way onto your personal playlist, and just maybe you cracked a smile or two going down this list.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
