Whenever I am in a good mood, I love listening to music to keep me happy and pumped up. When I'm sad, these happy songs make me feel better and remind me that everyone has ups and downs in life--even Harry Styles--and to keep positive. Here are the 25 songs that I love to put on repeat when I want to be happy.

1. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld

2. Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

3. Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson

Just keep going and make some banana pancakes.

4. Boston by Augustana

5. Brave by Sara Bareilles

6. Bruises by Train

7. Carry On by Fun

What a classic song that reminds you to just keep going. Seize the day!

8. The Climb by Miley Cyrus

An oldie but a goodie.

9. Perfect by P!nk

10. Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine

11. Geronimo by Sheppard

18. Million Bucks by Smallpools

19. Little Things by One Direction

20. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

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!

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.
