In This Article:

We all have those weeks that feel even longer than eternal and just make us want to quit altogether. As the year begins to come to an end, the workload continues to intensify. However, I've found these ten songs to be something fun to look forward to during the long days and weeks.

1. Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

This is a perfect song for when you are trying to rid yourself of negative energy and just be you! Shake off the haters and keep doing your thing!

2. Last Friday Night by Katy Perry

Even though it might only be Tuesday, this song reminds you that the weekend is coming soon. Keep pushing through to get to Friday!

3. Barcelona by Ed Sheeran

This song is great for the middle of the week when you wish you were...well, anywhere but here!! Escape to Spain, or whatever your happy place is.

4. Confident by Demi Lovato

If Monday blues have your spirits down, allow Demi to remind you that if you can dream it, you can do it!

5. Break the Rules by Charlie XCX

This song is relatable for all of us at one point in the week, when it seems the only way to escape work is by crossing some boundaries. You might not actually be able to break any rules, but at least you can live vicariously through the song.

6. 24K Magic by Bruno Mars

It might not be pay day yet, but listen to this song as you think about all of the amazing things you'll be able to buy when you get that deposit.

7. Here's To Never Growing Up by Avril Lavigne

Just because you're a ~working~ adult now, it doesn't mean that you still can't act like a child. Don't ever allow yourself to completely grow up!

8. Thrift Shop by Macklemore

So maybe you've got no money now without your paycheck, but who says you can't have a little fun and go thrifting to pass the time?

9. Successful by Ariana Grande

Remind yourself that this isn't all for nothing, you've been pretty successful so far!! Keep doing what you're doing.

10. Congratulations by Post Malone

Hopefully by the time you've reached this song, you're feeling a little better about your week. And don't worry, all of your hard work is going to pay off, so congratulations!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
