Here are some happy tunes to help combat your blues.

1. Bubbly By: Colbie Caillat

This songs just makes me smile and it gives off some nostalgic vibes.

2. 10,000 Hours By: Dan + Shay (with Justin Bieber)

Even though country music and Justin Bieber don't seem to run together often, this song shows that it actually works!

3. I'm Yours By: Jason Mraz

This song, much like "Bubbly", gives off very nostalgic vibes for me. The scat parts are what really make me smile/laugh.

4. On Top Of The World By: Imagine Dragons

Considering the recurring mantra is, "I'm on top of the world", this song just radiates positive vibes.

5. I Lived By: OneRepublic

When reading the lyrics, some verses don't seem very positive, but the overarching lesson is to have a positive outlook in all circumstances.

6. Can't Stop the Feeling By: Justin Timberlake

Just by watching the dance moves in the video, I start smiling.

7. Hey, Soul Sister By: Train

I was OBSESSED with this song back in 1st grade when MTV actually played music! So, AGAIN, nostalgia plays a big part in this song making the list.

8. Classic By: MKTO

STRONG middle school dance vibes right here. I can still sing this song WORD for WORD.

9. Don't Worry, Be Happy By: Bob Marley (written by Bobby McFerrin)

Just reading the title, it is pretty obvious that this is a happy song.

10. Good Time By: Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen

To put it simply, when you are having a "good time", you're probably happy.

11. Walking on Sunshine By: Katrina and The Waves

This song just radiates positive energy inside and out.

12. Best Day of My Life By: American Authors

Quite an odd music video, but still a very happy song.

13. Footloose By: Kenny Loggins

I learned every word to this song for a middle school concert... just try me. Personally, it is near impossible to hear this song without dancing some way.

14. Celebration By: Kool & the Gang

This song perfectly expresses how I am going to feel after social gatherings are acceptable again.

15. September By: Earth, Wind & Fire

I low-key have the instrumental part memorized because of high school band.

16. Happy By: Pharrell Williams

1. Obviously, this song had to make the list... It's literally called "happy".

2. I know the harmony to this because of high school choir. (I'm an alto)

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
