6 Love Songs That Will Make You Feel EXTRA Emo

The romantic within is flourishing, because this week I'll be sharing with you my six favorite love songs of all-time.

Who doesn't love a good existential cry when you're wondering whether or not you'll ever find someone to love? When listening to these songs, I feel EVERY emotion. Turn up the speaker, sit down, relax and get ready to be an emotional wreck.

1. "Feeling Whitney" by Post Malone

It was a cold, winter's afternoon when I first heard this beautiful song from Post Malone. In the bus and tired from a long day of sitting in lecture after lecture, this song came on. If I'm being honest, I almost cried because, with just a guitar and Post Malone's voice, this song is utterly beautiful. Post Malone, an artist known for creating music that'll get you hype before a night out, made this emotion-inducing song. If you haven't heard "Feeling Whitney," please listen to it now.

2. "1+1" by Beyoncé

OMG, I had the opportunity to hear the Queen B perform this song live and it made my life. Beyoncé's vocals are stunning as it is, but, with the lyrics of this song, her vocal abilities show. When Beyoncé sang, "I don't know much about Algebra but I know one plus one equals two," I really felt that. Beyoncé is a tremendous vocalist and proves it with this song.

3. "This Town" By Niall Horan

I've been a One Direction fan since the ripe age of 13-years-old, and Niall Horan outdid himself with this beautiful song. This song makes me cry every time I listen to, because it's just so pure. With the guitar and his heartfelt lyrics, "This Town" makes my heart feel warm. You know that feeling of contentedness? That's how I feel when I listen to this song.

4. "All I Ask" by Adele

Adele, the queen of love songs with her beautiful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, tops them all. I remember listening to this song in a class full of people and attempting to hold back tears. The lyrics in "All I Ask" will make you emotional, as well.

5. "Fool For You" by Snoh Aalegra

I heard this song while watching "Insecure" a couple weeks ago and I had to find out what it was called. Snoh Aalegra has a unique voice that pierces through your ears. "Fool For You" is a modern love song that has been on repeat for the last week.

6. "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Etta James

Last but not least, one of my all-time favorite songs. Etta James, the queen (rest in peace), but this song cuts at your heart. I remember listening to "I'd Rather Go Blind" at thirteen-years-old when my crush didn't like me back. Even though that crush lasted for a month, the lyrics in "I'd Rather Go Blind" was everything I thought I was feeling at the time and can still resonate with me today. "I'd Rather Go Blind" will always be a song I could never of.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
