Out of all the playlists and songs I have had over the years, these songs are either relate-able to everyone's life or have been at some point. While they're sad, they're all beautifully composed and sang and deserve appreciation whether they're relate-able to your life currently or not.

To listen to the whole playlist, check it out here.

1. Unwind by Healy

I’ve been working all week / No lie / Can't sleep and I don’t why

2. What You Do by James Gillespie

No work, no worries here / Everything's for free / When the world turns upside down / You should blame it on me

3. I'm Sorry by Joyner Lucas

How could you? / Maybe it's my fault / I should have paid more attention to what you been doing / Maybe I should have been more of an influence [This video may be inappropriate for some users.]

4. Transpose by Bad Suns

Sleepless nights aren't new to me / All these thoughts are killing me / Someone come and put me to ease / All of my anxiety, there's no cause that I can see

5. The Other by Lauv

We fell from the peak / And the stars, they broke their code / I'm trying to forget / How I landed on this road / I'm caught in between

6. High Highs to Low Lows by Lolo Zouai

I'm not okay these days / Dreams come and go / I stay

7. Footprints by Molly Kate Kestner

You can take the road less travelled / Yeah, I'd probably do that too / But if you're lost and feeling broken / Through and through / You can follow the footprints I left for you

8. Breathe Me by Sia

Ouch, I have lost myself again / Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found / Yeah I think that I might break

9. Youth by Daughter

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones / 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs / Setting fire to our insides for fun

10. Figures by Jessie Reyez

I wish I could hurt you back / Love, what would you do if you couldn't get me back / You're the one who's gonna lose / Something so special, something so real

11. Unknown (To You) by Jacob Banks

Tell me that it's over / Tell me that you mean it / This time is true / Tell me that I'm unknown / To you

12. Bloodstream by The Chainsmokers

I gave up three times this week / Went through those feelings / Like I wasn't worth nothing

13. Liability by Lorde

They say, "You're a little much for me / You're a liability/You're a little much for me"

14. Bruises by Lewis Capaldi

I've been holding on to hope that you'll come back when you can find some peace / Cause every word that I've heard spoken since you left feels like a hollow street

15. Sorry by Aquilo

I left the light on so you could see me in the dark / But then it blinded us and left us who we are

16. Two Ghosts by Harry Styles

We're not who we used to be / We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me / Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

17. Heal by Tom Odell

Take my mind / And take my pain / Like an empty bottle takes the rain

18. The Burden by Weeping Willows

Jealousy is such a heavy burden / Sneaks into my soul and never sleeps

19. 9 Crimes by Damien Rice

Leave me out with the waste / This is not what I do / It's the wrong kind of place / to be thinking of you

20. Falling by The Civil Wars

Please tell me you know / I've got to let you go / I can't help falling out of love with you.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
