6 Ways I Wish My Life Were Like A Country Song

Charlotte Mahoney-Mosedale

When I listen to country music, I am always thinking "hey, I wish my life could be like that." Country songs offer unreal love and dating expectations as well as the most simple, but perfect situations. I wish I could live the life of the lyrics. The songs most always give off a fun vibe like a summer that never ends. Country music even makes being sad sound pretty. Mostly, these songs are relatable or sometimes I wish it could be like my life.

1. Country music is romanticized and it almost always seems to work out for the person singing.

"And I know that I can't ever tell you enough, that all I need in this life is your crazy love.....You're a saint; you're a goddess; the cutest; the hottest; a masterpiece, It's too good to be true, nothing better than you
In my wildest dreams"- Die A Happy Man, Thomas Rhett

2. Country songs are honest about the way that people feel. They express emotions that you didn't think you could put into words, but someone else did.

"You make loving you easy, you make loving you all I wanna do, every little smile, every single touch
Reminds me just how much it all makes loving you easy" - Loving You Easy, Zac Brown Band

3. They make you feel special about home.

"You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can, I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am." -The House That Built Me, Miranda Lambert

4. They make you feel happy and tell you to just have fun.

"You ain't gotta leave the house to have a good time, I'ma bring the good time home to you, We'll have a house party, we don't need nobody." -House Party, Sam Hunt

5. It's always summer and a good time.

"And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide rolling, White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just summertime strollin' ,Chillin', breezin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh, Beachin'" -Beachin' , Jake Owen

6. There is a song for every mood. Whether you're sad or happy, there is a country song for you. They even make being sad sound beautiful.

And, of course, when you just want to party. "The air's getting heavy and we both know why, So dance one more dance and tell one more lie, And, baby, let's keep make believing,That it's just the rainy season." -Rainy Season, Hunter Hayes

Well, it's your birthday, Let's act like it is, And just go crazy, Do what we want with no reason why, Life ain't long enough, So let's celebrate"- 21, Hunter Hayes

There are plenty more reasons why I wish country music could be like my life but, I guess I'll just keep living through the music.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
