5 Best Fall Out Boy Songs For The 5 Stages Of Finals Grief
Noisey

In my opinion, Fall Out Boy is the greatest pop-punk band there is. Their lyrics make so little sense that they make perfect sense and their anthem-style songs can motivate any listener, which makes them the perfect band to tune in to during finals. Whether it's the beginning, middle or end of finals, I am positive there is an FOB song that can help rejuvenate you. Here are some of their greatest hits that will help you hone in on all of your stages of finals grief and turn them into something better, maybe even something productive!

1. "Forth of July"



"You and I were fireworks that went off too soon."

Off their newest album American Beauty/American Psycho, Fall Out Boy has found the perfect lyric to capture how we all feel about the beginning of finals: It all started too soon. We weren't ready. We're never ready. And look at that kid's face on the album cover. He knows what we're going through.

2. "I Don't Care"



"The best of us can find happiness in misery."

This sassy hit off Folie à Deux (circa 2008) captures our sentiments about finals exactly. We don't want to care about them, but we have to, so we try and find some kind of happiness in the bitterness of it all to keep us going.

3. "Novocaine"


"Because they took our love and they filled it up, filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb."

This one is for when you've been looking at the computer screen for seven hours straight and you can't feel your face anymore.

4. "Dance, Dance"


"She said she's no good with words but I'm worse."

We all have that friend who says that their papers are horrible and that they can't write. All of our responses are, "Yeah, okay, but my paper is definitely worse." So what if I'm taking this chart topper from the 2005 album From Under The Cork Tree a little out of context? We're all just falling apart at half-time, anyway.

5. "Alone Together"



"I don't know where I'm going but do you got room for one more troubled soul?"

This song, which is from my favorite album Save Rock and Roll, is the epitome of how we feel at the end of finals. We don't know what we're doing and we're all tired and troubled. We may feel alone but we always have each other (and FOB) to help get us through the hard times.

Let the jazzy-rock vocals of Patrick Stump heal you as you complete your finals. Fall Out Boy is here for you and they always will be, as long as they keep pumping out amazing hits like these!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
