We've all been there, right? You're wearing your traditional 1970's mood ring, you look down, see your color, and hopelessly wonder what to do next. I'm the gal to help you get the job done.
The band 5 Seconds of Summer has been my favorite band since before I even got my period. I've been bleeding for years now, so I think I'm fair in saying that I know my stuff. I'm an expert on most things 5SOS, so finding a song to accompany your mood will be easy peasy.
There are seven colors on the traditional 1970's mood ring: black, gray, amber, green, blue-green, blue, and purple. With each color that appears, I have your playlist. So rub your hands together and get listening!
Black: Songs for when you're sad
GiphyIs your mood ring accurately representing your complete sadness over a breakup? Cheer up buttercup (or cry,) and listen to these 5SOS songs and let Luke and the other boys' voices smooth over your pain.

"Empty Wallets"
"Best Friend"
"More"
"Waste the Night"
"Airplanes"

Amber: Songs for when you're stuck
GiphySO MANY 5SOS songs fit into this category, it's actually insane. So, if for some reason you're feeling nervous or have mixed emotions, you won't be stuck on which songs to listen to. What I interpret the mood ring means by "stuck" is almost conflicted or trapped. Hopefully, these songs can help you escape and feel less claustrophobic.

"Hey Everybody"
"Moving Along"
"Heartache on the Big Screen"
"Social Casualty"

"Easier"
"Gotta Get Out"
"Daylight"
"The Girl Who Cried Wolf"
"Disconnected"
"Youngblood"
"If You Don't Know"
Green: Songs for when you're chill n vibin'
GiphyWhat comes to mind for me when I think chill is the calm emoji and the little leaf sprig emoji. These are songs I would hammock to on campus in Emereti Park on a cool, sunshine filled day. Add these to your next hammock sesh playlist.
"Broken Pieces"
"Midnight"
"When You Walk Away"
