12 Relient K Songs For College Survival
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MatthewThiessen-RelientK.jpg

Relient K is a rock band from Ohio who got their start in the late 90s. They're known for their Christian roots and their odd lyrical poetry (if that is a thing). They are known to have great songs about life, pain, and change, but also goofy songs that can get anyone up on their feet or giggling.

In college, life is one big roller coaster of ups and downs. There are times you need a laugh, there are times where you need to reminiscence, and there are times you need to be reminded of the one above who loves you for who you are - not that grade you got. Relient K is the band who can do that for you. So enjoy this mini Relient K playlist to get you through these times.

1. "High of 75"

From their mmhmm album, this song is all about how the weather has been bipolar and so have you. This is for the times in college where the highs and lows are extreme and there seems to be no in-between. Relient K perfectly captures this feeling in this song.

2. "Devestation and Reform"

This song is for those days where you feel like you just cannot get it right and you keep making the wrong decisions. It's a good jam to get the aggression and frustration that comes with this life situations released.

3. "Crayons Can Melt Us All For All I Care"

For the times where you wasted your time in procrastination.

4. "I Need You"

Sometimes we get in over our heads by either overestimating how easy something will be. In these times, we can get nervous, anxious, and not with it. This song is all about needing God to bring it all back together and how he is who to focus on when we feel insecure.

5. "Bite My Tongue"

You know those times where you are just in the midst of conversation and you just let things slip out or come out unfiltered? Things typically end up not so great afterward, huh? This can happen in simply speaking out in class, in conversation with friends, co-workers, or even professors. This song is all about maintaining that tongue.

6. "Therapy"

This song is just a reminder to take a break and give yourself some space from all the stress and the madness. And sometimes, we just need to sit and pray.

7. "Sadie Hawkins Dance"

Though colleges don't do Sadie Hawkins, this is a good song to listen to when reminiscing about the good ol', cringey high-school days.

8. "Mood Rings"

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RelientK-Guitars.jpg

This is a silly song all about how people can be moody and it's hard to read how exactly someone is feeling. In college, you meet people from different backgrounds, different majors, and different moods.

9. "Trademark"

https://www.flickr.com/photos/djbuchanan/5028335133

In college, you learn a lot about yourself and you also grow a lot. But sometimes, old habits die hard.

10. "Gibberish"

https://www.flickr.com/photos/themarque/2884070938

After spending six hours studying, everything probably feels like this.

11. "Air For Free"

This is a good song for the times when you just need rest and you can't get it.

12. "College Kids"

Just listen to it. Trust me. You need a good laugh.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
