There are so many more, but I think these are some of the best for the times where you wanna just be sad.

1. Me

Matty describes me as a song "all about guilt and [his] understanding that [his] actions have had quite serious consequences."

Saddest lyric: I'm sorry, but I'd rather be getting high than watching my family die.

2. Somebody Else

Somebody Else is about seeing an ex with someone else and although you might not want to be with them, you also don't want to see them moving on.

Saddest lyric: Our love has gone cold, you're intertwining your soul with somebody else.

3. Fallingforyou

Fallingforyou is about unrequited love and really wishing for something more than what you have.

Saddest lyric: I don't wanna be your friend, I wanna kiss your neck.

4. A Change Of Heart

A Change Of Heart is about falling out of love with someone and finally see them for who they truly are.

Saddest lyric: I feel as though I was deceived, I never found love in the city, I just sat in self-pity and cried in the car.

5. I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)

I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) is Matty's take on how we have made a meme out of death. Throughout the song, he talks about the implications of how we're making light of such a difficult subject.

Saddest lyric: But your death it won't happen to you, It happens to your family and your friends.

6. Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You

This song is about Matty feeling responsible for his brother during his parent's divorce, but how he couldn't be there for him because that's when his band first started getting big.

Saddest lyric: I know it's me that supposed to love you, and when I'm home you know I got you.

7. Nana

This song is about Matty getting over the death of his grandmother. This song is all acoustic which makes it even sadder.

Saddest lyric: But I'm bereft you see, I think you can tell, I haven't been doing too well.

8. Inside Your Mind

Matty describes Inside Your Mind as being "the idea of sometimes wanting to know what your partner is thinking so much that you want to smash their head open and look... I like the idea of morbidly romantic stuff sometimes."

Saddest lyric: Maybe you are dreaming you're in love with me.

9. She Lays Down

She Lays Down is about Matty's mom and her postpartum depression.

Saddest lyric: She's appalled by not loving me at all OR She just wants to feel something and I don't think that's asking for too much... I couldn't choose.

10. Undo

Undo is about Matty not being able to be fully present in a relationship which ultimately causes him to lose the girl he was hooking up with to another person.

Saddest lyric: I wanna see you but you're not mine.

11. Paris

This song is kind of all over the place, but it touches on a lot of topics like infidelity and addiction.

Saddest lyric: I caught her picking her nose as the crowd cheered for an overdose.

12. Medicine

I spent a lot of time thinking this song was romantic, but recently found out it's actually about Matty's past drug addiction. Which makes the song so sad. This is still one of my favorite songs by them.

Saddest lyric: Yeah you rid me of the blues ever since you came into my life.

13. Be My Mistake

Be My Mistake is about a girl Matty had been hooking up with after a recent breakup. He talks about how the girl he is with now will never compare to his ex-girlfriend.

Saddest lyric: The smell of your hair reminds me of her feet.

14. Antichrist

This song is so sad even Matty refuses to sing it live anymore.

Saddest lyric: I feel like I'm just treading water, is it the same for you?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
