Everyone needs a good cry every once and awhile.If you're anything like me, crying is not only a natural bodily function, it's an emotional outlet. Tears don't need justification of a bad day or sadness, they can serve just as well as an alleviator of repressed emotion. So here it is, friends. 10 sad songs to listen to if you need to cry for whatever reason. So get in a private place, grab some headphones, and sob away.

1. All I Ask - Adele

No one nails a heart wrenching ballad as well as Adele. This song contains all the elements of the classic tear-jerking Adele song: simple and beautiful piano, paired with that powerhouse voice, and moving lyrics. Probably my favorite song off of her new 25 album.

2. All I Want - Kodaline

"If you loved me, why'd you leave me?"

Such a beautiful, simple lyric asking the question we are too scared or too hurt to ask for ourselves. His soothing voice and captivating lyrics are stunning and calming all at the same time.

3. The Scientist - Coldplay

Yes, this song is old and I've probably heard it thousands of times, I cannot help but get a little bit emotional every time.

4. ILYSB STRIPPED - LANY

(Quick translation: ILYSB stands for "I love you so bad.) A more contemporary sounding song, featuring a soft, guitar line and a laid back beat.

5. Like a River Runs - Bleachers (Sia cover)

Sia takes this hip,up-beat original song by Bleachers and transforms it into a beautiful, heartbreaking melody. Just piano, + Sia's gorgeous voice. You'll be grabbed at the first verse and sobbing by the chorus.

6. Can't Help Falling in Love With You - Elvis Presley

Artists have been covering this timeless tune for years now, and while Tyler Joseph's ukulele rendition melts my heart every time, no cover can bring me to tears quite as well as the original by Elvis Presley. There is such a tenderness in that deep, sultry voice that can't be imitated.

7. Vienna - Billy Joel

A deep and heartfelt song capturing the time in a young person's life as they rush through their life, not taking the time to enjoy it. If you need a reminder to slow down amidst the craziness that life can throw your way, this one's for you.

8. Keepsake - State Radio

Maybe you first heard this in the finale of Weeds and sobbed all the way through like I did. Either way, this song is fantastic.This song combines raw vocals and acoustic guitar for contemplative, emotion-filled melody.

9. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Originally sung by Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley manages to be one of the rarer cases of a cover being better than the original (and I am very picky about covers). A perfect sad song capturing the roller coaster of emotions that is love.

10. Video Games - Lana Del Rey

There is some magical quality about this song. Everything for Lana's dreamy voice, to the instrumental, and innocent lyrics transport me to a beautiful place that is poignant and sad.

Happy crying!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
