The Break-Up Playlist You Need
Juja Han

After a semester of talking about relationships and then doing a huge project about the friend zone and failed relationships for class, I have decided that it's time to connect music to the not so happy side of relationships. I mean we all have to have been there (or will be there) at some point. It's that moment when you realize that guy or girl you have been pining over is honestly not worth waiting for. Or that moment when you realize that you actually can do better and that the person you've been "talking" to or dating is actually kind of the worst. Well, this playlist is for you because you are going to need music for this time.


1. Potential Breakup Song. You cannot have a sassy breakup playlist without this song. First of all, the word "breakup" is in the title, so it deserves to be first on this playlist. You just need to scream the chorus along with Aly & AJ and you will feel it deep in your soul.

2. Before He Cheats. Another classic, and one of the few times I will claim country music. Carrie Underwood knew what she was doing when she made this song. I don't suggest following the actions, but feel free to live vicariously through her words.

3. A Drop In the Ocean. This one is suggested by Hannah M., and I have to agree. Sometimes you need a song that will bring on the tears, some hardcore crooning with Ron Pope, and then just get all up in your feels.

4. How Am I Doin'. This is a Dierks Bentley song, which means it's country... maybe I am more into country music than I thought. However, it is a fun song about getting over that person who did you wrong, and how you are doing very well now. (You'll get there I promise!)

5. Miss Movin' On. Fifth Harmony,when there were five, had me on my bed in high school claiming that I would not hold on. The goal is to start from scratch and shake it off like an etch-a-sketch.

6. Survivor. This song was made to throw shade at some of the members who left Destiny's Child, but it is still a song that can be connected to rising above the one you left behind and remember your momma raised you better than that.

7. Titanium. I love this song by David Guetta. The reason it ended up on here is to remind you that even though it hurts and kind of sucks, you are bulletproof with nothing to lose. Once again, screaming is recommended for this song.

8. Never Enough. I would be failing you if I did not mention this song from The Greatest Showman. I am pretty sure I cried in the theater because it is beautiful and too relatable. I'm not sure if she is saying that fame will never be enough or where they are at in their relationship will never be enough. All I know is that it's on my list because I think it fits.

9.Sorry Not Sorry. Demi Lovato is reminding you that you should not be sorry for saying goodbye. You are a ten, the tables have turned, and no second chances will be given.

10. Bulletproof. I'm bringing a throwback in because La Roux is right. You will learn, and next time baby you'll be bulletproof.


Those are just 10 songs that I think should be on there, but what are some songs that you totally vibe with during this time?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
