Sometimes you can’t motivate yourself to do anything other than sit on the couch every Sunday and watch every single Harry Potter movie for the entire day. When it seems like all hope is lost, here are a list of some songs that can pump you up to do just about anything.

1. "Remember the Name" -- Fort Minor

My high school soccer game warm-ups always began with this song. It made me feel like I could take on the world. I’d eye the other team’s players and dare them to come at me. A ton of adrenaline built up as soon as Fort Minor and his styles of beyond rapped about “10 percent luck, 20 percent skill, 15 percent concentrated power of will.”

2. "Hall of Fame" -- The Script ft. will.i.am

This is my absolute favorite song to run to (that is when and if I ever do run). If I am ever feeling tired and unable to take another step, I play this song and I swear I find a whole new source of energy to continue. Plus, the music video featuring a deaf ballerina and a bullied boxer who both defy the odds stacked against them is more than motivational—it’s inspirational.

3. "Superheroes" -- The Script

The Script doesn’t run short of inspirational songs. "Superheroes" is a newer one that I’ve added to my playlist. The beat takes a little time to build but the lyrics get me up and moving every time I hear them, and the chorus is energetic and really catchy.

4. "The Fighter" -- Gym Class Heroes ft. Ryan Tedder

So, this song was actually inspired by and written for Olympic USA gymnast John Orozco. Orozco (nicknamed “The Fighter”) is featured in the song’s music video. Watching his story and his fight to his success makes me think that if he can do all that, I can at least go on a mile run, or even finish an essay. Plus, the lyrics are awesome. My personal favorite? “And I’ll be in your corner like Mick [think the movie Rocky], baby, ‘til the end or when you hear a song from that big lady [that phrase: until the fat lady sings].” Not only are the lyrics inspirational but they’re clever!

5. "Till I Collapse" -- Eminem

I mean, what else can I say about this song except, “I’m ready to go sign up for a P90X class right now.”

6. "Lose Yourself" -- Eminem

Such a classic song—I just want to take a moment to thank Eminem for defying all the odds against him and overcoming all his struggles so he could motivate me with his numerous songs to stop binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy and go for a high-intense workout at my school’s gym instead.

7. "I Gotta Feeling" -- The Black Eyed Peas

This song never seems to get old. There is nothing like Fergie, will.i.am, and whoever those other two guys in the band are pumping me up for whatever I’m about to do. Plus, that last verse when they list off the days of the week is both educational and catchy.

8. "All the Above" -- Maino ft. T-Pain

Okay, put T-Pain in anything during 2009, and you’re going to have an instant hit. I suggest this song for a running playlist too. It has a great beat like any song of the time. In fact, I love this song so much, I can’t help but wish Maino wasn’t such a one-hit-wonder kind of artist.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
