Top 17 Ultimate Feel-Good Songs

We all know that music can change our mood drastically. We tend to listen to the music that matches our mood more often than not. The best thing to listen to when you're feeling down are upbeat, feel good songs.

1. All Star- Smashmouth

You can't lie. When this song comes on, I know you sing along. Everyone sings along.

2. Don't Stop Believing- Journey

This is the ultimate feel-good song. You can't hate it, even if you try.

3. Pocketful Of Sunshine- Natasha Bedingfield

Emma Stone can't get enough of this song. Sure, she might have hated it at first, but that clearly didn't last long.

4. Breaking Free- High School Musical

If this song doesn't make you think of Troy and Gabriella nor make you happy, I don't know what's wrong with you.

5. 22- Taylor Swift

It's so catchy that you have to like it. Taylor Swift tends to have that effect on people.

6. Smile- Uncle Cracker

I listened to this so much when I was growing up that I can't help but sing along and, wait for it....SMILE when I hear it.

7. Soul Man- Blues Brothers


If you don't know the original, you at least know the Drake and Josh version. I'm pretty sure that it was every millennial's favorite TV show growing up.

8. Wasted Time- Keith Urban

It doesn't matter if you like country music or not; this song is great. Case closed.

9. Marry You- Bruno Mars

Who doesn't want to just run off and elope after hearing this song?

10. We're Young And Beautiful- Carrie Underwood

This song makes you cherish your youth. It's the time to go out and live it up.

11. Stacy's Mom- Bowling For Soup

This one shouldn't even need an explanation.

12. Dancing Queen- Abba

"Dancing queen, Young and sweet, Only seventeeeeeeen."

13. Good Vibrations- The Beach Boys

This song just gets me. It's so great.

14. Roar- Katy Perry


After she sang this at the Super Bowl, this was everyone's favorite song for a solid three weeks.

15. I Gotta Feeling- The Black Eyed Peas

I think tonight's gonna be a good night. How about you?

16. Best Day Of My Life- American Authors

Everyone I asked said that this song had to be on the list, so here it is.

17. Walking On Sunshine- Katrina & The Waves

Whether you're walking on it or have a pocketful of it, sunshine just can't seem to let anyone down. I see a theme here.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
