Feeling down? Need something to keep you going until the next break in school? Here you go! The perfect playlist to brighten your day. There are definitely more songs to add to your personal "Feel Good" playlist at your own discretion. However, after talking to some students on campus and searching the internet for music, these gems were found and decided on. Enjoy these in any particular order and maybe have a little dance sesh.

"Three Little Birds" -Bob Marley & The Wailers

Stressed? Maybe overwhelmed...? Well don't worry about a thing... you know how it goes. The perfect song to calm yourself down and get ready for all the amazing things you will accomplish. It was released in 1977.

"Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" -Shakira

This song was once the theme for the FIFA Cup and is known for being super inspirational and fun. Definitely, a bop that brings everyone together with the joy that is music and dance.

"Don't Stop Me Now" -Queen

With the Queen hype still going strong, who doesn't love an inspirational anthem to play throughout the day. It is from the album "Jazz" that was released in 1979. A true bop.

"Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" -Michael Jackson

My personal favorite artist of all time. Had to throw some MJ into this list of bops. Who doesn't love this well-known beat and exciting vocal set?! We love a true king! From the album "Off the Wall" album released in 1979. Always a motivational song to get you going for the day.

"Sweet Caroline" -Neil Diamond

Giphy

SWEET CAROLINE...BUM BUM BUUUUMMMM!!! We all know it and can sing along. One of the best songs for a road trip or a boring day that could use some excitement. It was released a single in 1969 and is still well known today.

"Celebration" -Kool and the Gang

Perfect for every celebration even the small ones. A fun tune to get you moving in your office chair. It was released as a single in 1980.

"September" -Earth, Wind, & Fire

Do you remember? Of course, you do!! An easily recognizable song to add to every classics playlist. My home studio used to end every show with this as the finale because it was a sure fire way to get everyone on their feet. It was released in 1978 as a single and then with the album, "I Am".

"Send Me On My Way" -Rusted Root

Giphy

The perfect song for a fun-filled road trip!! I cannot express this enough! It is a must-have on your driving playlist It was released as a single in 1995 and you cannot go wrong with this pick.

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" -Bobby McFerrin

Giphy

Obviously, how can you be sad when the song is telling you to be happy. It was released in 1988 and always can brighten your day.

"Dancing Queen" -ABBA

Dancing Queen, young and sweet!!!! All the love for this powerful anthem. It was the leading single from the album "Arrival" released in 1976. It was brought back to life with the hit musical, "Mamma Mia".

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
