20 Songs To Put On That playlist for the TRASH men in your life

scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com

Yes, yes I know not "all" men are trash, but there's a solid amount that are. We all know one. Some of us have the unfortunate pleasure of knowing multiple. No matter how many you've encountered, here's a playlist when you remember said trash guy, whether he turned out to be a bad friend, a bad boyfriend, or whatever the case may be, this will help.

1. Yard Sale- Harper Grace

To be honest, I fell in love with this song (particular the lyrics) when I heard her audition her original song on American Idol. Y'all don't even know how stoked I was when she released the full version. Also, she's a fellow Texan. *heart eyes emoji* But seriously, the lyrics are spot on if you ever felt like you wanna sell or dump all your ex's stuff.

2. Best Days of Your Life- Kellie Pickler

I hope people haven't forgotten about this jam. Funny enough, she was also on American Idol. This is when you know that trash man had the best days of his life when you were in it but unfortunately you haven't had the best of your life, honey. Also, did anyone else forget that Taylor Swift was in this music video?

3. No Scrubs- TLC

Giphy

If you're in the mood for a throwback this is it. On a side note, why did we ever stop calling men scrubs?

4. I Look So Good (Without You)- Jessie James

Giphy

Do you really need to hear anything more than the title for this one? If you forgot about this 2009 jam, I'm here to remind you of it.

5. IDGAF- Dua Lipa

Giphy

This new song is spot on and perfect for when you genuinely think, "Wow truly IDGAF about what he has to say to me anymore." Bravo Dua Lipa.

6. Good Girl- Carrie Underwood

Giphy

Carrie will remind you that he's no good for you, and you know he isn't. Listen to the song and move on.

7. Be Careful-Cardi B

Giphy

You know you sing-yell every lyric of this song when it comes on the radio. Cardi knows what we're all going through and she ain't afraid to call anyone out.

8. I Don’t Need a Man-The Pussycat Dolls

Giphy

The title is pretty self explanatory, and you will probably remember all the lyrics once you put it on, because really, who didn't listen to this song back in the mid 2000s, even when our love lives were nonexistent?

9. Goodbye- Kristinia DeBarge

One that's maybe a little less known, but the lyrics are spot on.

10. Gives You Hell- The All-American Rejects

Giphy

If you're angry, (you probably are) then there is an especially "feel good" sensation you have when you listen to this song. Give em hell girl.

11. F*ck You- Lily Allen

Giphy

As Lily Allen put it, "So please don't stay in touch."

12. Potential Breakup Song- Aly & AJ

Giphy

Forgetting your birthday is a big deal. When you find yourself in that situation, turn this one up.

13. Independent Woman, Pt. 1- Destiny’s Child

Giphy

If you ever want to feel like you have a girl gang supporting you, this your song.

14. Too Little, Too Late- JoJo

Giphy

Don't we all miss when we would hear this hit on MTV music videos?

15. I’m Out- Ciara, Nicki Minaj

Giphy

This one is perfect for when you're out with your girls dancing and you're just looking to have a good time!

16. Undo it- Carrie Underwood

Giphy

For those times you wish you could just undo it all.

17. I Don’t F*ck With You- Big Sean, E-40

Giphy

If you've' heard this at a party and not screamed the lyrics because you felt that, you're lying. It's ok, sing along, scream it, you deserve to.

18. Here We Go Again-Demi Lovato

Giphy

This is perfect for when you've met someone new, and have come to realize he is, in fact, trash. Here we go again y'all.

19. Shake It Off- Mariah Carey

Giphy

Sometimes what you need to do is shake a person out of your life. Also, who doesn't love a bit of Mariah Carey in a playlist?

20. Before He Cheats- Carrie Underwood

Giphy

Was this really going to be a comprehensive list without this song? It's a classic, we can't remember how many times we've belted it out, and you know you wish you recreate the music video.

With a playlist that crosses multiple genres and even decades, the only thing left to do is remove toxic people from your life. Happy listening!!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

The 14 Stages Of The Last Week Of Class

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
