Each week our org's editor-in-chief sends out a newsletter with topics to write about, information from HQ, and things like that. At the end of her emails, she always poses a question for us writers to answer in our group chat to start some conversation. This week the question was "what song always makes you happy?"

After reading some of my peer's responses, I got to thinking, does everyone have a pick-me-up song, and if so, what are their favorite ones? I set up some polls to see, and the short answer is yes, it seems that most people do have go-to songs that they listen to when they need cheering up.

I thought it would be fun to compile a list of what people said their pick-me-up songs were so that next time I, or anyone else for that matter, is feeling down, they have plenty of songs they can turn to.

Here were their favorites:

1. "I Would Die 4 U" — Prince

2. "Hayloft" — Mother Mother

3. "No Rain" — Blind Melon

4. "Nine In The Afternoon" — Panic! At The Disco

5. "Bones" — Galantis (feat. One Republic)

6. "Party In The U.S.A." — Miley Cyrus

7. "Trust In You" — Lauren Daigle

8. "Oasis" — Kalley

9. "Hall of Fame" — The Script feat. will.i.am

10. "Three Little Birds" — Bob Marley & The Wailers

11. "Take On Me" — a-ha

12. "joy." — For KING & COUNTRY

13. "What Makes You Beautiful" — One Direction

14. "Best Of My Love" — The Emotions

15. "'Cuz I Can" — P!nk

16. "One Dream" — Lou Gramm

17. "Sunday Best" — Surfaces

18. "Everything" — Lauren Daigle

19. "The (After) Life Of The Party" — Fall Out Boy

20. "Wait a Minute!" — Willow Smith

21. "O-o-h Child" — The Five Stairsteps

22. "Madness" — Hunter Hayes

23. "Rain on Me" — Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga

24. "Paper Rings" — Taylor Swift

25. "Have It All" — Jason Mraz

26. "This Must Be The Place" — Talking Heads

27. "Hymm For The Weekend" — Coldplay

28. "Boogie Oogie Oogie" — A Taste of Honey

29. "Get Back Up Again" — Anna Kendrick

30. "3:15" — Bazzi

31. "no body, no crime" — Taylor Swift feat. HAIM

32. "L.A. Woman" — The Doors

33. "Shake It Out" — Florence + The Machine

34. "Friends, Funk & Liquor" — Sam Lachow feat. Ariana DeBoo

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.

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.
