7 Songs That Create The Perfect Senior Playlist

Senior year is filled with different emotions, so I've made a playlist that morphs all of those emotions together.

7 Songs That Create The Perfect Senior Playlist
Celeb Mix

With senior year comes many feelings and I've noticed during my 3 weeks in so far, that having a playlist to showcase all of these feelings is very helpful for the days you're either rejoicing about graduation, or crying, because we all know both of those are very common. This playlist, or should I say playLIT (haha) is composed of various genre's, various artists, and various emotions. I hope that you can put it to work and it serves its purpose of rightfully ending a chapter of your life.

1. "Good Riddance" - Green Day

I know, weird choice because it seems like Green Day basically fell off the face of the earth, however, great song. It somehow perfectly sums up a book closing and reminds you to have the time of your life in high school because it really doesn't last forever.

2. "Goodbye" - Aaron Tveit

Although this song is from a musical, that doesn't take any of the feelings you get when you hear it away. Also Aaron Tveit is very cute and his voice is amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

3. "I'll Always Remember You" - Hannah Montana

Ignore that this song is actually a Disney song from 2008. This song is literally about graduation and especially with this year's seniors, Hannah Montana is right up our alley. So seriously, please give it a chance. I promise it's so good.

4. "Take A Bow" - Rihanna

Rihanna is my queen, I love her with my entire heart. This song is such a good signification of an ending, even though it's about a break up. Graduating is basically a break up, right?

5. "Closing Time" - Semisonic

We all know this song is used in almost everything that seniors do, videos, slideshows, anything. It makes me cry now that I'm actually a senior, but before I never understood why it was so relatable or perfect for seniors, but now I do. It's about moving on and going off to college and having a new beginning. Great jam for a good cry, or the rejoicing of an ending.

6. "See You Again" - Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth

Although this is cheesy, it's very accurate. Your class becomes your family, and high school is hard and long. College is going to be even harder and even longer. It makes us realize the importance of our forever friends.

7. "Count on Me" - Bruno Mars

For some reason, our of every song that could make me cry, it's this one. It just really shows you how much friendship has made an impact in our lives during high school and how dependent we are on our friends that we've made during our four years in high school.

These songs all together compile a playlist of every emotion you'll need during your senior year of high school.

Good luck class of 2017.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
