5 Songs That Make Me Feel Happy, Sad, and Nostalgic
the halstead blog

There comes a point in life when you can't listen to songs the same way. When the songs used to make you happy now make you sad or vice versa. And then there are the songs that make you remember how you felt in that moment of time. Here are only 5 songs out of many that I listen to differently now and always make me feel either happy, sad, or nostalgic.

1. "For Always, Forever," by Every Avenue

This song brings me back to the memories I have with my high school best friend. When we would belt this out at the top of our lungs back then, and we were as happy as can be. Sometimes I get teary eyed when I hear this song because she and I aren't as close now as we are back then, and I miss her.

2. "Skinny Love," by Bon Iver

This song makes me both happy and sad. Reminding me of how I felt in past relationships which makes me feel a little sad, but also happy because of how great my current relationship now. Yes I know that sounds a little weird, but I think most people understand that feeling.

3. "I Love You Always," by The Icarus Account

When hearing this song the first time I remember thinking that I wanted to know what it felt like to feel that kind of love. And now this song makes me so happy when I hear it because I have that kind of love in my life now.

4. "Scars," by James Bay

This song may be newer than the others, but I still find myself listening to it differently than most songs. It reminds me of my the best friend I've had for about 11 years, and you know sometimes with friends of the opposite sex try to go into the relationship realm and it doesn't work out. Well, that happened to us but I never imagined that we wouldn't be friends ever. It took awhile but we kinda mended that relationship and we have remained friends, but we are not as close as we once were.

5. "Straight Outta Compton," N.W.A

I know this sounds kinda weird and I know this song is way different than the others. But this song reminds me of car rides with my brother, who recently moved across the country to California, and him rapping along with every word. And I would try to rap along with him, but then ending up laughing and looking at him and being amazed at how he knows all the words.


I know all of us have songs that make us feel a certain way and that also brings back all sorts of memories. These are some of mine, let me know some of yours in the comments.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
