Of all the talented singers of our generation, only a few truly stand out as being both extremely talented and having an approachable, down-to-earth personality. For many, Adele is one of these artists. With her witty sense of humor and her cackling laugh, fans everywhere find her extremely relatable even if we don't possess that unmistakably beautiful voice. I will be the first to admit that I have spent the better half of many Sunday afternoons sitting on my bed fawning over the songs that seem to invoke an emotional response as soon as the sound of the first chord resonates. Here you will find the stages of listening to Adele as told in gifs.

1. The uncontainable excitement that your favorite Adele tune comes on shuffle the very first try.

Now, we can all dispute over whether "Hello" is overplayed, but there is no argument when it comes to the fact that every song she has written is an absolute masterpiece. Within the first three seconds of any given song, you begin to start your vocal exercises, much like Sharpay's in "High School Musical." After playing the air piano for the first 15 seconds of the song, our emotions continue to get the best of us.

2. The overwhelming feeling you get when you hear Adele first breathe the word "Hello."

Honestly, if this isn't your reaction to her voice every time she sings, you might want to get your hearing checked. Through the first verse of every song, you can feel the raw emotion that she is experiencing. You also may begin to experience symptoms of complete awestruck as she somehow manages to guide her vocal chords to each end of the spectrum. The tension begins building up to the chorus, and you're still not sure which times the lyrics are "outside" or "other side," but it's okay because you're about to scream a mixture of both at the top of your lungs.

3. Feeling completely invincible as you tell all the boys that did you wrong "l8r loser" in the most elegant way possible.

I mean c'mon, Adele is one of the founding fathers of "girl power." After getting through one entire song, the suspense of whether the next song will be "Set Fire to the Rain" or "Water Under the Bridge" starts adding up. Now you're totally in the zone and ready to earn your first Grammy award, but maybe you should be hoping for a calmer tune so that the neighbors don't start looking for new places to live.

Regardless of what song Apple Music suggests you should listen to next, you should probably start mentally preparing hours in advance for the emotional rollercoaster that all Adele songs promise. And remember, no matter how bad the breakup was, there's always an Adele song to make you feel like the strong, independent woman you are.
