25 Songs To Get You Through The Second Half Of Senior Year

YouTube

Time seems to be passing at a rather alarming rate. Freshman move-in day feels like it happened roughly last week, and the fact that SENIOR YEAR is mere weeks away from ending is nauseating. As emotional, devastating, and downright tragic these next few months will be, there is one surefire to make it through with your squad by your side: a killer soundtrack. So as you sit in your final dorm/apartment/house, passing the wine bottle around, reminiscing on the past four years and the charmed lives you've all had, turn up the Bluetooth speaker and get ready to a) be on the verge of tears at any given moment (I know I will be) and b) wish you were a freshman again-- never thought I'd so those words again (desperate times, my friends). So without further ado, here is the official soundtrack that should accompany the final weeks of senior year:

1. What we Started (Don Diablo, Steve Aoki)

2. Shut Up And Dance (Walk the Moon)

3. Rather Be (Clean Bandit, Jess Glynn)

4. Home (Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros)

5. Wagon Wheel (Darius Rucker)

6. Heroes (We Could Be) [Alesso]

7. Mr. Brightside (The Killers)

8. Dragonflies and Waterfalls (Nova and the Experience)

9. Another Night On Mars (The Maine)

10. High (Young Rising Sons)

11. Everything is Alright (Motion City Soundtrack)

12. What's My Age Again? (blink-182)

13. Roses (The Chainsmokers)

14. How Far We've Come (Matchbox Twenty)

15. These Are My People (Rodney Atkins)

16. I Lived--Arty Remix (OneRepublic)

17. All My Friends (Snakeship, Tinashe, Chance the Rapper)

18. Odds Are (Barenaked Ladies)

19. All Night Longer (Sammy Adams)

20. Kids-- The Chainsmokers Remix (Mikky Ekko)

21. Shots-- Broiler Remix (Imagine Dragons)

22. The Middle (Jimmy Eat World)

23. This Is How We Roll (Florida Georgia Line)

24. Go Big Or Go Home (American Authors)

25. The Days (Avicii)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

1. Why are towels considered dirty when you get out of the shower clean?

2. Who closes the bus door once the bus driver gets off?

3. Why is there a "d" in "fridge" but not in "refrigerator"?

4. If you drop soap on the floor is the floor clean or the soap dirty?

5. Is the "S" or the "C" silent in the word "scent"?

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
