Many of us have experienced a broken heart, and there are countless songs, albums and artists who have the right words, melodies and notes that somehow heal us. But what about after that initial pain goes away; that in between phase of still hurting, but being ready to move on? Are there songs for those of us in the repair phase of a broken heart?

That's what this list of songs is: a playlist for those recovering and whose hearts just need that last little bit of mending.


1. I Miss You - blink-182

This is your classic, punk-rock song full of angst and strange lyrics, but it has the ability to reach down into your very soul and do some mending, even if you can't explain it.


2. All I Want - Kodaline

The lyrics in this song do the most repair in my opinion; you can definitely relate to them and feel yourself healing as the intensity of the song increases.


3. Everglow - Coldplay

Chris Martin knew what it was like to be in the recovery phrase of a broken heart, and he wrote a song about it so that we can heal too.


4. Gives You Hell - The All-American Rejects


This song is not only catchy, but it is the perfect fun-spirited jam to temporarily lift your sprits while your heart recovers.


5. Sirens - Pearl Jam

"Sirens" is the type of song to make you sit down and philosophize about the meaning of life, which is sometimes exactly what you need to do.


6. Mr. Brightside - The Killers

From the iconic opening notes of this song, you just know that you have to blast it and sing at the top of your lungs; which sometimes is a cure in itself.


7. Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

This classic oldie song has the perfect combination of lyrics and soft guitar strings that is sure to cure any broken heart.

8. Thnks fr th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy

Whether or not you like Fall Out Boy, everyone knows and loves this song and the teen angst that oddly makes you feel better.


9. Timshel - Mumford & Sons

"Timshel" has the standard Mumford & Sons chorus, folk sound, with sad and deep lyrics that help you because you know someone else understands.


10. My Sweet Summer - The Dirty Heads

This a fun, summer jam that you subconsciously learn the clever rap lyrics to and feel the need to blast and roll down the windows when you hear it.

11. O (Fly On) - Coldplay


"O" is the saddest song on this playlist, but Coldplay's usual sound is a necessary component on the step to recovery for a broken heart.


12. Undisclosed Desires - Muse

"Undisclosed Desires" has a kind of empowering feel to it that after listening to it and having a good cry, you are sure to heal a little bit more.


13. Your Bones - Of Monsters and Men

The melodious and almost hymn-like feel of this song makes it a valuable addition to this playlist for repairing a broken heart.


14. Six Degrees of Separation - The Script

This song is a useful addition to this playlist because it allows you to reflect on what happened and how you're truly feeling because it breaks down the "Six Degrees of Separation."


15. Reverse - SomeKindaWonderful

This song is the perfect end to this playlist, because it encompasses every step of the recovery to a broken heart, with a catchy chorus and angry intro that will definitely help to heal your heart.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
