10 Songs To Listen To When You're Having A Bad Day

Sometimes, everything just sucks. There's no getting around it, everything just sucks. It happens to everyone, for some reason, everything that could possibly go wrong all decides to at once. Sometimes you can't do anything about it, you just have to sit back, and listen to some music. Listening to a song isn't going to solve your problems, but sometimes, you have to star in your own music video for a minute, especially when life is hitting you hard. Here's a list of songs to jam out to (and maybe sob to, if we're being honest) when everything really sucks.

1. "Thks fr th mmrs" by Fallout Boy

A lot of you may remember this song from your middle school emo phase, (a phase that for some us, never really ended, Pete Wentz will always have my heart.) but if you've never heard it, then go listen right now. If you're feeling nostalgic, angry, or just overall like you need to hear some angst ridden dude sing your emotions, this song will help.

2. "Medicine" by Daughter

Featured on their "Wild Youth" EP, this song, (and every song they release) is sure to hit you deep in your feels. Grab this tissues for this one folks. While you're out, be sure to check out Daughter's other songs.

3. "Fall" by Palisades

This song, which came out in February of 2016, is a great song to listen to when you feel utterly heart broken. It's rhythm, tempo, and chorus are all amazing, and it flows amazingly.

4. "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright

Hard hitting lyrics, a twisted lullaby, and a melody sad enough to make you feel like putting on your big sweatpants, find a tub of ice cream, and not leave bed for at least three days. Better known to some as the Shrek song, and maybe rightfully slow as it will hit you in all of your layers.

5. "I'm Just A Kid" by Simple Plan

Are you just a kid, even though you are in fact a full blown adult? Is life a nightmare? If so, you will spiritually relate to this song. Perfect for those nights when you're all alone, and socializing is the last thing on your mind.


6. "Dark Times" by The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran

Have you ever felt like your life is a joke that the universe has taken too far? Have you ever had a week so bad you feel like you could sleep for three months straight? If so then you should give this song a listen to. If you just want to be sad for a few minutes, and cry it out, this will help.

7. "Maybe IDK" by Jon Bellion

A groovy beat, a stellar voice, and a heart of gold, every Jon Bellion song is sure to wow you. "Maybe IDK" is great for those days when you just don't have a clue what is going on in your life, or where to go from here.

8. "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors

The song itself is wonderful and the music video is even better. Another tear jerker for sure. Hold onto this song.

9. "Taxi Cab" by Twenty One Pilots.

You ever just wanna get in your car and drive for a really long time? No destination in my mind, no plan. You just gotta drive away. This is a good song to drive away from everything to. Don't be afraid.

10. "Between the Bars" by Elliot Smith.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just don't want anyone to ask you how're you doing? You don't want to tell anyone else anything. You just wanna be tired. I guess we're doing fine. Between the Bars is a great song for when you're not really sure how you're doing.

Things suck, music doesn't. I hope you give these songs a listen, and I hope whatever you're dealing with, you have some solid music to help you through it.

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."

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.
