Often when thinking about music that pumps you up, the classical genre would be the last to come to mind. However, this list will make you totally forget that misconception.

1. "Winter" by Vivaldi

The build-up in this piece is unreal, and by the time the main theme comes in, there's no way you aren't banging your head.

2. "1812 Festival Overture" by Tchaikovsky

Between outstanding dynamic contrast, the thrill of the accelerandos, and the unforgettable theme, you can't go wrong with this classical song!

3. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg

This piece starts quiet and slow, but as you feel it growing louder and faster you can't help but get excited.

4. "March of the Toys" by Tchaikovsky

Another amazing Tchaikovsky piece, but with a Christmas twist!

5. "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" by Mozart

Exciting and enticing from the beginning, this melody is one you'll never be able to get out of your head.

6. "Violin Concerto BWV 1042 in E Major" by Bach

From the first three notes, this piece keeps me bopping up and down.

7. "String Quintet No. 29 in E-Flat Major, Op. 73, III. Scherzo" by George Onslow

The syncopation in the main theme is where the headbanging comes in, followed by a beautiful melody. Honestly, who doesn't love a good string quintet?

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
