High school was a weird time for everybody. Something that made it a little more tolerable was constructing a sweet playlist to complement the teen angst that was displayed to displayed to anyone who would listen, willingly or unwillingly.

Some of the most interesting conversations you can have with a person are about who you were in high school and the types of music that they listened to.

Music can be a big part of someone's life and I find it interesting how a person's taste in music can change over time depending who they are and what they are personally going through at that moment.

Even though I have not graduated from high school not too long ago, I still find myself nostalgic for certain songs and albums that were popular during that time period which is why I chose to compile this list.

I hope that this article serves as a sort of time capsule of who I was in high school as well as jog some of your favorite high school memories!

1. The Disappearance of a Girl- Phildel


Even though this album was never very popular, it is to this day one of my favorites! It has a unique sound and a really interesting song selection that I absolutely love. It is a great lowkey album to just have in the background and not be overly distracting.

Favorite songs: Beside You; Moonsea

2. Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die- Panic! At the Disco

Who can forget the moment that Panic! at the Disco came back with an awesome album. This album is particularly nostalgic for me due to the fact that it was the first Panic! at the Disco albums that I listened to in its entirety and thoroughly enjoying every single track.

Favorite Songs: This is Gospel; Casual Affair

3. Lungs- Florence + the Machine


One of my favorite albums of all time. This was also one of my favorite albums during my middle school years as well. I do believe that there was a point in my life where I knew every word on this album, but sadly that is a skill I no longer have. Now that I think back to it, I have a feeling that one of the reasons why I liked this album so much was because I really like the album art and felt that it looked cool on my iTunes page...

Favorite Songs: Cosmic Love; Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).

4. Pure Heroine- Lorde

This is Lorde's first album and my favorite out of the two that she currently has available. I always thought it was cool that Lorde was about the same age that I was and her songs were about topics I could relate to. (which was at the time, the previously mentioned teen angst). Overall, this album holds a very special place in my heart.

Favorite Songs: Tennis Court; Buzzcut Season

5. Born to Die- Lana Del Rey


I used to love all of Lana Del Rey's song in high school, but sadly I do not believe that that is the case any longer. This album is a perfect example of how my music tastes have changed over time, do to the fact that I find it very difficult to tolerate Lana Del Rey's music. I mean, it's still good, just not for me, I guess...

Favorite Songs: Born to Die; Video Games

6. Save Rock and Rock- Fall Out Boy


I feel that this album is the most "nostalgic" out of all of the other albums that I have mentioned on this list. I have a theory that everyone who went to high school around the same time that I did have listened to this album in its entirety in one way or another. It was just one of those albums that felt inescapable but was enjoyable nonetheless.

Favorite Songs: The Mighty Fall, Young Volcanos

7. Night Visions- Imagine Dragons


To this day, I still consider Radioactive by Imagine Dragons as one of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever I hear it, I am automatically transported back to my high school days. To be completely honest, I do find myself enjoying their newer albums more, but overall it is still a pretty good album.

Favorite Songs: Radioactive; Nothing Left to Say/ Rocks

8. 21- Adele


Adele was another artist whose music was everywhere during my high school years. Even though I do not find myself, choosing to listen to her music now as often as I did in high school, I still believe that it is a pretty solid album.

Favorite Songs: Turning Tables; Set Fire to the Rain

9. Les Miserables- Original Broadway Cast

Due to the fact that fact that the popular musical got a film adaption, Les Miserable was inescapable in high school music programs everywhere. I do not believe that this was an album that I owned and listened to regularly, but it was definitely an album that was played a lot during that time around me, which is why thinking about it always makes me nostalgic.

Favorite songs: I Dreamed a Dream; Do You Hear the People Sing.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
