For years the "30 Day Music Challenge" has been floating around Tumblr and Twitter and I've always wanted to do it but I would keep forgetting after a few days. Inspired by one of my favorite music YouTubers Infinity on Hannah, I decided to put the challenge all in one article. These are 30 songs that I like that fit each prompt for each day.

1. A song you like with a color in the title

"White Lies" - Sainte

2. A song you like with a number in the title

"30" - Bad Seed Rising

3. A song that reminds you of summertime

"The Beach" - All Time Low

4. A song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget about

"Ignorance" - Paramore

Middle school angst!!

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD

"All You Are Is History" - State Champs

I'M A REALIST AND AN OPTIMIST BUT I SWEAR TO YOU I'M NOT GETTING OVER THIS

6. A song that makes you want to dance

"Hard Times" - Paramore

7. A song to drive to

"Missin' You" - The Summer Set

8. A song about drugs or alcohol

"Forever Stuck in Our Youth" - Set It Off

9. A song that makes you happy

"The Greatest" - Tonight Alive

This song makes me feel so at peace with life!!

10. A song that makes you sad

"Eiley" - Too Close to Touch

This song is about the singer's 3 year old sister who passed away unexpectedly and it made me cry the first time I heard it.

11. A song that you never get tired of

"Born for This" - Paramore

12. A song from your preteen years

"Here We Go Again" - Demi Lovato

13. One of your favorite '70s songs

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen

14. A song you would love played at your wedding

"The Only Exception" - Paramore

15. A song that is a cover by another artist

"Uptown Funk" - Against the Current ft. Set It Off (Originally by Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars)

16. One of your favorite classical songs

"Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" - Mozart

I probably played this in orchestra at some point.

17. A song that you would sing a duet with on karaoke

"This Is Me" - Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas

YOU'RE THE VOICE I HEAR INSIDE MY HEAD, THE REASON THAT I'M SINGING, I NEED TO FIND YOU, I GOTTA FIND YOU!!!

18. A song from the year you were born

"The Boy Is Mine" - Brandy & Monica

This song was #1 the week I was born!

19. A song that makes you think about life

"Legendary" - The Summer Set

Lyrically one of my favorite songs. Makes me think about life and who I wanna be in the future. Also the "How I Met Your Mother" references are legen...wait for it...DARY

20. A song that has many meanings to you

"My House" - PVRIS

In one way of thinking about this song, it could be about a breakup and wanting the person to get out of your life. Another way is battling your internal demons, telling them, "it's my house, it isn't yours anymore."

21. A song with a person's name in the title

"Scooby's in the Back" - HalfNoise

Scooby's in the back, would you let him in? Scooby's in the back, go tell your friends.

22. A song that moves you forward

"Believe in Me" - Demi Lovato

It's lame but this song got me through being 12.

23. A song you think everybody should listen to

"Push" - Stand Atlantic

This band is so underrated!!!

24. A song by a band you wish were still together

"Figure It Out" - VersaEmerge

25. A song by an artist no longer living

"Beat It" - Michael Jackson

26. A song that makes you want to fall in love

"Bright" - Echosmith

One of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.

27. A song that breaks your heart

"Tell Me How" - Paramore

Just listen to the lyrics. It's sad.

28. A song by an artist with a voice that you love

"There I Said It" - Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert has been one of my favorite singers since his American Idol days. What a talent.

29. A song that you remember from your childhood

"Space Cowboy" - *NSYNC

IF YOU WANNA FLY COME AND TAKE A RIDE, TAKE A SPACE RIDE WITH THE COWBOY, BABY!

30. A song that reminds you of yourself

"Be Alone" - Paramore

Anthem for introverts

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.
