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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
