For the times you never wanted to end

A playlist to remind you of the best and the worst, the highs and the lows

For the times you never wanted to end
Angela Gorski

Some songs evoke those feelings that you never wanted to end; here are a few favorites that will remind you of the good and the bad, the highs and the lows.

400 Lux by Lorde

"I love these roads where the houses don't change..."

Lorde coos over calming beats as she sings about killing time with someone, be it a friend or a lover. She tells the story of being picked up and taken home again as if it were an interminable cycle.. that she was in love with. It will bring back careless summer nights of driving down those all too familiar roads.

Forrest Gump by Frank Ocean

"If this is love, I know it's true.. I won't forget you"

Frank Ocean drew inspiration from the iconic film, not only in the title, but in the details woven into the lyrics. You hear the witty reference of "run 44", but the hidden meaning is laced with nostalgia and the sinking feeling of desperately missing someone and the memories attached to them.

Video Games by Lana Del Rey

"It's better than I ever even knew, they say that the world was built for two..."

An ode to a past lover, Lana recounts the wild summers shared with the one she loved the most.

December by Neck Deep

"I miss your face, you're in my head, there's so many things that I should've said"

An angry letter to a past flame, December recounts lessons learned along with the yearning for old times back.



Anna Sun by Walk The Moon

"Fumbling around the back, not one seatbelt on... wait for summertime"

Anna Sun is upbeat and idyllic, but it evokes so many memories of night after night flying by with not a care in the world.

Ribs by Lorde

"I want 'em back (the minds we had)"

Ribs recounts the chilling reality of growing old. The painfully nostalgic lyrics tell the story of best friends, and how your world changes as each birthday passes.

Sex by The 1975

"And this it how it starts..."

This song speaks of happiness, then pain, then loneliness; emotions that many relate to all too well. The crashing lyrics will creep into your mind and soul.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
