17 Songs To Put You In A Better Mood

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
