You thought angst was over once you moved on from the eighth grade? LOL, good one. It's 2 a.m., the librarians are flickering the lights and staring into your soul until you leave. You're just trying to be studious and end the semester on a good note by passing your finals, but now you're all pissed off, on top of all the stress finals already induce. Here's a playlist you can listen to when it seems like no one understands your struggles and you're beginning to lose hope. So sit back, relax, and get in the mood to punch a wall, because whatever you're doing at this point in your life is definitely the most important thing you'll ever do.

"I'm Just A Kid" by Simple Plan

"And it seems everyone in the world is having more fun than me tonight." My thoughts exactly while looking at everyone else's Snapchat stories as I'm locked in the library.

"Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy

This one goes out to my GPA.

"Misery Business" by Paramore

Finals season is very much the business of misery.

"Perfect" by Simple Plan

I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE PERRRRRFECT

"What's My Age Again?" by Blink-182

The lack of sleep and immense amount of stress has you looking like more of a meth addict than a college student, but Blink totally understands the identity crisis you're going through.

"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace

This one covers the love-hate (but mainly hate) relationship you have with school.

"All Downhill From Here" by New Found Glory

If we're being honest, sometimes positivity is overrated.

"In Too Deep" by Sum 41

Seriously, though, taking six classes and two labs was a terrible, terrible idea.

"The Science of Selling Yourself Short" by Less Than Jake

This is a good one that helps you embrace your failure, and accept the fact that the procrastination is all your fault, but you'll survive.

"Welcome To My Life" by Simple Plan

Catch the trend. Simple Plan is angst. Don't even pretend like this one doesn't give you flashbacks to staring out the window of the bus in seventh grade.

"The Middle" by Jimmy Eats World

I know I said positivity was overrated, but at this point, it's also needed. This song helps you look at the glass half full.

"Over My Head (Better Off Dead)" by Sum 41

Sum 41 offers neat alternatives to studying!

"American Idiot" by Green Day

Green Day is here to remind you why you're putting yourself through all this stress.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

ORHS Graduation
Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
