17 Songs To Put You In A Better Mood
Wavebutler

So you're angry at the world, as sad as the little child who let go of his balloon, or just not feeling in a great mood? Well, you've came to the right place. Here you'll find a playlist of 17 songs in all genres, ranging from movie soundtrack favourites to throwbacks to mega scene kid trash, it's all here. There's a little bit of love for everyone.

1. "Can't Stop The Feeling" - Justin Timberlake

How can you not sing along or want to dance when this song comes on? It's all around happy and fantastic and I can't stop the feeling.

2. "Rocketships and Radios" - Nickasaur!

Back in, like, eighth grade, this song was totally my jam. The catchy beat, lyrics, and album art were enough to make any soft-scene kid's heart squish. I mean, do you not see the happy-face diamonds? Come on people, everyone in this galaxy just wants to you soar.

3. "Mr. Brightside" - The Killers

This song. Just yes. So maybe it's not the general consensus' idea of a "happy song," but when this song comes on, I cannot help myself but turn the volume all the way up and scream the lyrics; then again I'm a fan of the band regardless. It's a classic and simply makes me happy.

4. "Let It Go" - Idina Menzel

What's a happiness playlist without a little help from the happiest place on earth? Disney songs in general just give you that warm fuzzy feeling of happiness, but the one that has a place on this list is 'Let It Go.' Why? Frozen was fantastic and this song is a fan favourite all day, every day. It's sassy and it's fun. So just let it go, let it gooooo; can't hold it back anymoooooorrrrre.

5. "Fancy" - Iggy Azalea

Speaking of sass, how about a dose of 'Fancy?' You can't tell me you don't belt out the lyrics to this song when it comes on. You already know.

6. "Cha-Cha Slide" - Mr. C The Slide Man

In all honesty, this song needs no explanation at all. EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS...need I say more?

7. "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen

A pure classic at its finest. Queen is legendary, as is this song. It's one of those classics that's just a sin to change before it's completely over.

8. "24k Magic" - Bruno Mars

If even my daddy jams out to this song, it needs to be on this list. Like really.

9. "The Rock Show" - Blink 182

Gotta throw the pop punk gods into the mix. Blink 182 made pop punk what it is today and I am forever grateful. This is just a feel good song about life and falling in love. What more can ya ask for?

10. "Float On" - Modest Mouse

Bad day? Super bummed? Drowning in life? Modest Mouse got you, they'll throw you that raft and help you float on, alright.

11. Pokemon Theme Song.

If you know me, you know Pokemon is love, Pokemon is life. But seriously, the theme song is one of those freaking awesome jams that you need to roll the windows down and blare it down the highway. If this can't put a smile on my face, nothing will.

12. "Bad Girls Club" - Falling in Reverse

Oh Ronnie Radke...lawd this song is crazy but catchy as hell. Seriously, Falling in Reverse is a post-hardcore band, but this song is fun and there are no screams (that I can think of...). You'll find it stuck in your head and discover you're just another victim of the bad girls club.

13. "Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne

Let's face it, Avril was and still is a total badass. But the catchiest, funnest song of hers (in my opinion...) was 'Girlfriend.' Maybe you're crushing or just need a pick-me-up...don't be like "so, whatever..." This song is definitely a must-listen.

14. "Get Back Up Again" - Anna Kendrick

Okay...so I totally love Dreamwork's latest movie, Trolls. The movie is about happiness, sp how can I not include more than one song from it in this compilation? Exactly. So, struggling? Things aren't going right? Don't worry, everything is gonna be okay! You'll get back up again.

15. "All Star" - Smash Mouth

If you say you don't know this song, you're a liar. And if you hear "hey now" and don't instantly think "you're an all star," you're also lying.

16. "Fireflies" - Owl City

This cutesy song just has to be on the list. It has to be. Owl City in general is a pretty freaking happy band with pretty freaking cutesy lyrics and music videos. What more can you ask for when you're not feeling wonderful?

17. "Don't Stop Believing" - Journey

Finally, what is life without Journey? Honestly, between this song and 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' these are the two songs it is a cardinal sin to ever change without listening to it until the very end. If this song can't help you crack a smile, I'm at a loss and I have certainly failed you. But come on, it's Journey and a classic at that, don't stop believing.

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.
