Noisey

In my opinion, Fall Out Boy is the greatest pop-punk band there is. Their lyrics make so little sense that they make perfect sense and their anthem-style songs can motivate any listener, which makes them the perfect band to tune in to during finals. Whether it's the beginning, middle or end of finals, I am positive there is an FOB song that can help rejuvenate you. Here are some of their greatest hits that will help you hone in on all of your stages of finals grief and turn them into something better, maybe even something productive!

1. "Forth of July"



"You and I were fireworks that went off too soon."

Off their newest album American Beauty/American Psycho, Fall Out Boy has found the perfect lyric to capture how we all feel about the beginning of finals: It all started too soon. We weren't ready. We're never ready. And look at that kid's face on the album cover. He knows what we're going through.

2. "I Don't Care"



"The best of us can find happiness in misery."

This sassy hit off Folie à Deux (circa 2008) captures our sentiments about finals exactly. We don't want to care about them, but we have to, so we try and find some kind of happiness in the bitterness of it all to keep us going.

3. "Novocaine"


"Because they took our love and they filled it up, filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb."

This one is for when you've been looking at the computer screen for seven hours straight and you can't feel your face anymore.

4. "Dance, Dance"


"She said she's no good with words but I'm worse."

We all have that friend who says that their papers are horrible and that they can't write. All of our responses are, "Yeah, okay, but my paper is definitely worse." So what if I'm taking this chart topper from the 2005 album From Under The Cork Tree a little out of context? We're all just falling apart at half-time, anyway.

5. "Alone Together"



"I don't know where I'm going but do you got room for one more troubled soul?"

This song, which is from my favorite album Save Rock and Roll, is the epitome of how we feel at the end of finals. We don't know what we're doing and we're all tired and troubled. We may feel alone but we always have each other (and FOB) to help get us through the hard times.

Let the jazzy-rock vocals of Patrick Stump heal you as you complete your finals. Fall Out Boy is here for you and they always will be, as long as they keep pumping out amazing hits like these!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
