10 Songs That Will Pick You Up When You're Down

Sometimes we all just need a little something to get through rough time. It is completely normal because believe me everyone has those days where all you want to do is stay in bed all day and listen to music. Thankfully we have some great music to get us through whatever our struggles may be.

1.) "You're so Vain," by Carly Simon

This song is all about girl power, and doing your own thing. If you are ever in a harsh break up or just guy drama, I recommend listening to this.

2.) "Keep your head up," by Ben Howard

This song can get you through anything and everything imaginable. It is a simple reminder that no matter what it gets better and that all you have to do is "Keep your head up, and keep your heart strong".

3.) "i Lived," by OneRepublic

This is clearly a power song because it just makes you feel good inside. It inspires you to do as much as you can, never give up, and live your life to the fullest.

4. ) "Rise up," by Andra Day

The vocals of this song are enough to hit you hard and push you to in deed rise up and conquer your difficulties and be strong.

5.) "Respect," by Aretha Franklin

All I ever want to do when I hear this is sing along as loud as I humanly can and dance around like a crazy person, so its a good one for sure.

6.) "Come on Eileen," by Dexys Midnight Runners

Makes you want to dance!!

7.) "September," by Earth Wind and Fire

Every time I hear this it brings me back to happy memories with friends, and obviously makes me want to dance my heart out!

8.) "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," by Marvin Gaye

This song is a classic! And it always makes me think of the scene from Stepmom when they are dancing and singing together.

9.) "Hooked 9. On A Feeling," by Blue Swede

Reminds me of the scene from Guardians of The Galaxy

10.) "Where 10. You Lead," by Carole King

The Gilmore Girls theme song!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
