50 Songs To Cure Your Post-Holiday Blues

Ah, the end of the holiday season. Your home is likely filled with New Year's party streamers and baked goods/leftovers from the holiday season. Although the return to normality and promise of New Year's Resolutions are underway, you're likely suffering from the post-holiday blues. While adults are returning back to work, students are heading back to school with the looming promise of a new semester ahead of them.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the New Year as an opportunity to further ingrain myself in the Elon community and truly come into my own. However, with this comes the responsibility of schoolwork, keeping up with my athletics, and beginning to establish my **professional** career that I have procrastinated thinking about until now. However, how am I supposed to do this without the perfect playlist to keep me going when I feel like I'm about to fall short?

DISCLAIMER: Some of these songs are explicit, so they may not be for everyone. Also, it is personally created by yours truly and likely will not conform to everyone's music taste. With that said, pick out the songs you like and start a playlist of your own!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
