When You Hear 'Mr. Brightside'

No other song brings you to such extremes.

We all know the song "Mr. Brightside." We know how, when it comes on the radio, every thought in your brain evaporates and you just need to scream along to the lyrics until your face turns purple and your entire body is under the control of The Killers.

There are different scenarios in which this song comes to our ears and different reactions to it, depending on our mood and our location. You would think these intense reactions also depend on our histories in relationships, but in the end, they really don't. Everyone can relate to "Mr. Brightside."

Current Mood: Happy. Location: Party

Clear the dance floor. The entire world is about to go nuts.

Current Mood: Sad. Location: Party

The song comes on, and suddenly every failed relationship is in your mind. Party over. Time to try to walk home, but cry too hard -- so instead, you lie in the middle of the sidewalk.

Current Mood: Happy. Location: Gym

Oh HELL yes. You want me to squat 440? I got this!

Current Mood: Sad. Location: Gym

Give me a sec. I just need to drop the 1,040 pound weight on my neck real quick.

Current Mood: Happy. Location: Driving

I'm driving 270 miles per hour, and this is the greatest day in the world

Current Mood: Sad. Location: Driving

I’m driving 270 miles an hour off of this bridge.

What a song.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
