Relax! Your Adolescent Music Is Still Amazing

The 2000s were a fantastic time period. Especially in the music world. In recent times, I have really been struggling to find new music that I truly enjoy. As a result, it is almost 2017 and I am still listening to my favorite bands from the first decade of the century. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. As a college student trying to find myself in adult life, listening to the music that helped shaped my adolescent is soothing. I feel like we can all agree that our adolescent years were not always the best years. So with finals approaching and stress levels skyrocketing, I highly recommend thumbing through your music library and rediscovering those bands you used to love. Here are a few suggestions of my own in case you forgot how great these bands still are:

1. My Chemical Romance

2. The All-American Rejects

3. Boys Like Girls

4. Mayday Parade

5. We The Kings

6. LINKIN PARK

7. Green Day

8. The Downtown Fiction

9. Good Charlotte

10. Blink-182

While I know this list is far from perfect and is definitely incomplete, I hope it serves as a good place for you to start your crusade back into the music from middle school and high school. Hopefully it will help relax you and remind you of less stressful days like it does for me.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
