In This Article:

Music has the power to change your mood. Since the new year (and new decade) has officially began, here is a little inspiration to get moving and make 2020 an unforgettable year – full of new memories, new experiences and a new mindset.

"The Cave" by Mumford & Sons

"So make your siren's call and sing all you want ... I need to know how To live my life as it's meant to be"

"Atlas: Seven" by Sleeping at Last

"How nice it'd be if we could try everything I'm serious, let's make a list and just begin"

"So Much More Than This" by Grace VanderWaal

"Tap your foot and listen in Ignore the world, let the music cave in Close your phone and breathe in the air You'll soon realize that there's something that is So much more than this"

"Our Time Is Here" by Camp Rock Cast

"The road keeps on turning And all we can do, is travel each day to the next"

"Turning Out" by AJR

"You say I turned out fine I think I'm still turning out"

"Be Somebody" by Boyce Avenue

"Sometimes we win but sometimes we fold Story still remains untold ... Your heart has to be followed"

"Bibia Be Ye Ye" by Ed Sheehan

"I tell myself in every way, 'I won't be doing this again' And tomorrow's a brand new day"

"Blank White Canvas" by Gretta Ray

"Oh, blank white canvas Wiping you clean Those blurry images from the past wont be seen From the past, won't be seen again"

"There Will Be Time" by Mumford & Sons, Baaba Meal

"So open up my eyes to a new light I wandered 'round your darkened land all night But I lift up my eyes to a new high And indeed there would be time"

"Moving Forward" by Colony House

"I'm moving forward. I found my freedom. I found the life that gave me reason to live."

"Brand New" by Ben Rector

"I feel like anything can happen, laughing,"

"Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine

"The dog days are over The dog days are done"

"Anything Can Happen" by Ellie Goulding

"Yes since we found out Since we found out That anything could happen"

"Broken Glass" by Rachel Platten

"But I feel it changing I can taste it, I'm on the wave and I won't waste it I have been patient But I'm not waiting anymore Not anymore"

"I Can't Wait" by Cocoon

"I can't wait to see the summer turn to fall I can't wait to see the silver turn to gold"

"All Or Nothing" by Glee Cast

"This is my life I'm not gonna live it twice"

"Better Days" by The Goo Goo Dolls

"And you asked me what I want this year And I try to make this kind and clear Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days"

"Maybe IDK" by Jon Bellion

"Maybe I don't know But maybe that's okay"

"Good As Hell" by Lizzo

"You know you a star, you can touch the sky I know that it's hard but you have to try"

"This Is The New Year" by A Great Big World

While this song may seem like I got lazy towards the end of the list, it perfectly describes the "new year, new me" mentality.

Some of my favorite lyrics are:

"And do not save this for tomorrow Embrace the past and you can live for now"

"Speak louder than the words before you And give them meaning no one else has found"

"Say everything you've always wanted Be not afraid of who you really are"

"This is the new year A new beginning"

Happy New Year! Take 2020 by the reigns and make it stand out from the rest. You only have 366 days to make your mark in this leap year, so go out and be the best possible version of yourself! Worst comes to worst, start preparing for 2021 now!

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

Blair Waldorf Quote

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
