It is spring time, guys! The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, students are wearing shorts and sunglasses. And when you're walking to class it is important that you have the best tunes to listen to on your journey to class. So, here are 30 songs that feel like spring and sunshine. Songs to make you feel good, make you happy and release any stress you may have.

1. Brighter Than the Sun by Colbie Caillat

Nothing says spring like sunshine, so here's a whole song about love and sunshine and good feels.

2. Happy by Natasha Bedingfield

A lyric is "got the sunshine above" so expect a lot of happy vibes.

3. Lucky by Jason Mraz ft Colbie Caillat

Colbie Caillat is always a good choice to cheer you up and you can count on Jason Mraz to mix energy with beach softness.

4. Dream by Priscilla Ahn

5. 1234 by The Feist

6. Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae

Honestly, this song is pretty much good whenever.

7. Keep Your Head Up by Andy Grammer

This song is a bit of a throwback but I still think it's a fun song, with a great message!

8. Honey, I'm Good by Andy Grammer

Another Andy Grammer song but this song will for sure make you dance and get excited. Nothing says Spring like the start of sunshine and happiness, just like this song.

9. The Remedy (I Won't Worry) by Jason Marz

10. New Soul by Yael Naim

11. Island in the Sun by Weezer

A classic. Don't we all wish we were on an island in the sun?

12. Georgia by Vance Joy

This song is a little slower but a soft song for a rainy spring day is a necessity.

13. You and I by Ingrid Michaelson

No playlist is complete without a little Ingrid Michaelson. This is just a ukulele and her voice.

14. Who Says by John Mayer

John Mayer is the king of chill music.

15. Mr. Jones by Counting Crows

17. Shine by Benjamin Francis Leftwich

I love love love this and it is my new favorite song.

19. Sweet Pea by Amos Lee

This is a sweet song by Amos Lee that cannot put you in a bad mood. It might even make you dance a little bit.

20. Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson

He is from Hawaii so he knows all about sunshine, good weather, and chill vibes.

21. Ain't No Reason by Brett Dennen

22. (What A) Wonderful World

An oldie but so nice, lovely and wonderful (sorry this is so cheesy).

23. Something About Your Love by Mason Jennings

25. Fallin' For You by Colbie Callait

24. Saltwater by Geowulf

26. Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles

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.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

Seton Hall University

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

2. Disappointed you let it get this bad

3. Distracted: When a 10-Minute Break Becomes an Hour

4. When the Yearning for Sleep Sneaks Up

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?

2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!

3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.

4. The struggle is so real.

5. I'm so broke. SOS.

6. Stressed? Eat everything you own in your pantry and stuff your face with all your feelings.

7. "Did we have anything due in class today? Homework? Quiz? Test?" "Not that I know of..."

8. I need food. Where is the closest place to get food? I need it stat.

9. This is the longest day of my life. I need a drink, or two, or three.

10. Sleep? What is sleep? What a foreign concept.

11. When someone suggests going and studying in the library, let alone studying in general.

12. When the cafeteria or student center is packed and you can't find a seat anywhere so you literally have to sit in an abandoned corner.

13. When you see someone you used to hook up with. They see you, and approach you; so you have to pretend like everything is normal.

14. When you get your exam and realize you didn't study as much as you should have.

15. When you crush it on an exam or paper that you totally bullshitted.

16. I need a grande, extra strong coffee to get me through today.

17. When the professor announces you have a project due the following week with no instruction on what it's on and how to do it.

18. Is it Friday yet? Where's the weekend when you need it most?

19. It's freezing in here. I feel like I'm sitting in an igloo. I should have brought a jacket or worn long pants.

20. Did I remember my book? Damn, I forgot the book, and of course I need it for that quiz in class.

21. I would pay a million dollars to not go to class today; or actually never again.

22. I need a hoverboard to ride to class. Maybe then I wouldn't be running 15 minutes late to class every day.

23. Oh she/he's cute! I wonder if they're single. Who are they texting? They're BF/GF? I wonder if they think I'm cute. Could they be a potential new bae?
