30 Songs My Angsty High School Self Couldn't Get Enough Of

Photo by Ivan Samkov on Pexels

I have recently started listening to some of my playlists from high school, and it has sent me down some wild memory lanes, especially my playlist from senior year. I am counting down the days until spring break when I can take the back roads to and from my high school with the windows down and these songs blasting. Here are thirty songs from some of my angstiest days that you should definitely give a try on your angsty days too.

1. 'Only One' — Yellowcard

2. 'The Kids Aren't Alright' — Fall Out Boy

3. 'Over You' — Daughtry

4. 'Backseat Serenade' — All Time Low

5. 'Never Be Alone' — Shawn Mendes

This is a different type of angsty, but at the ripe age of 17, this song should not have made me feel so deeply.

6. 'Fix You' — Coldplay

I listened to a CONCERNING amount of Coldplay; I don't think I was OK.

7. 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' — Bob Dylan

Disclaimer: No part of me was prepared or ready to leave high school.

8. 'Bored To Death' — blink-182

9. 'The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows' — Brand New

10. 'Flicker, Fade' — Taking Back Sunday

11. 'The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage — Panic! At The Disco

12. 'A Part Of Me' — Neck Deep

13. 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"' — Fall Out Boy

14. 'Why Won't You Love Me' — 5 Seconds of Summer

There was a LOT of 5SOS, each song more concerning than the last.

15. 'Cute Without the "E"' — Taking Back Sunday

16. 'The Hell Song' — Sum 41

17. 'I'd Do Anything' — Simple Plan

18. 'Ocean Avenue' — Yellowcard

19. 'Keasby Nights' — Catch 22

20. 'Punk Rock Girl' — The Dead Milkmen

21. 'Screaming Infidelities' — Dashboard Confessional

22. 'Still Waiting' — Sum 41

23. 'Letters To You' — Finch

24. 'First Date' — blink-182

Fun fact, I absolutely listened to this song while getting ready for my first-ever first date.

25. 'Ohio Is for Lovers' — Hawthorne Heights

This is definitely the most concerning song on the list, but I still stand by it being a great song.

26. 'Memory' — Sugarcult

27. 'Twin Size Mattress' — The Front Bottoms

If you add any artist from this article to your listening habits, make it The Front Bottoms.

28. 'Wonderwall' — Oasis

29. 'Constant Headache' — Joyce Manor

30. 'Your Graduation' — Modern Baseball

I think that this song will always hover around #1 on my list of favorite songs, and I won't ever be sorry.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
