22 Songs That Need To Be A Part Of Your Personal Soundtrack Playlist

Remember that scene in the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" where Emma Watson's character loves a song (number 15) so much that she climbs into the back of the pickup truck driving fast through a tunnel and spreads her arms, totally enamored by the music?

I've always loved imagining myself as the star in an iconic scene like that, and it's fun to think about which song would be the one you're dancing along to. It's like in those coming-of-age scenes where the teenagers are riding bikes through a city or cartwheeling across a beach and the song playing in the background makes it feel just like summer.

Right now, winter feels almost eternal, so to escape those rainy day blues, blast these personal soundtrack-worthy tunes.

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
