The Narrative

Alissa Kane

1. "All Comes Down" by Kodaline

This song is the first song, and pretty much the only song that will give me goosebumps every single time I listen. I can remember the day I listened to it, and I remember feeling this enormous calmness rush over me. This song is a song I will always go back to, to remind me of the peace I felt on the day I first heard it.

2. "September" by Earth Wind and Fire

If you haven't heard this song, you have been living under a rock for years and years. This is the best jam song out there, and never fails to put a smile on my face. The beat is undeniably catchy, and the chorus is one I will forever insist on screaming on the top of my lungs.

3. "On Top of The World" by Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons is a band I was exposed to in high school by some pretty great friends. I remember listening to their album on repeat that same summer, and seeing their concert twice that year, both of which in the rain. This band made me feel so alive, and my anthem was this song.

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now

This song reminds me that although you may feel low, and feel as though you're fighting against unimaginable odds, you're going to have to experience these lows to experience and appreciate life's greatest moments.

4. "Lover, Lover" by Jerrod Niemann

Roll down your car windows and turn up the sound, because this song sounds its best just so. Whether I'm letting go of someone who's hurt me or done me wrong, or letting go of my OWN negative thoughts, this song is the perfect representation of leaving negativity behind and going forward with positivity, and putting yourself first.

5. "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato

Always be unapologetically yourself. Being true to who I am is so important, but sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that. This song is the anthem for not apologizing for doing what makes you happy! Never apologize for being authentic, and true. Sorry, not sorry!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
