Summer is over and though we’re all seriously bummed to have no more late-afternoon wakeups and Warped Tours and warm weather, autumn (and the school year) is here.
To ease the transition a bit, I made a playlist of songs that I’m gonna listen to on the morning of my first day of senior year.
1. Â “You Make My Dreams Come True”- Hall & Oats. Â If you wanna wake up in a good mood, this tune is the way to go. Â Campy and silly, it’ll put ya in a good mood and make you feel ready for anything.
2. Â “I Don’t Care”- Fall Out Boy. Â Of course, on your first day back, you’ll have some pent up angst when you encounter those you were glad to get away from during the summer months. Â This “you suck leave me alone” kind of anthem is dancey and energetic, and will put you in the right mindset.
3. Â “Miss Jackson”- Panic! At The Disco. Â I’m totally convinced that it’s impossible to not want to dance around like an idiot during this song, plus it’s just fun to sing along to.
4. Â “My Last Semester”- The Wonder Years. Â Who doesn’t love a good early morning bedroom mosh? Â If school makes you feel stuck in a rut, TWY knows exactly how you feel. Â Just hum this all day and deep breaths.
5. Â “Ode To Sleep”- Twenty One Pilots. Â I know that when I’m getting ready in the morning, a good techno beat is stimulating makes me feel a little less exhausted.
6. Â “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”- The Smiths. Â Okay, let’s face it. Â We’re not gonna be all smiles and rainbows on the day back from summer vacation. Â We gotta allow ourselves to mope and reminisce a little, right?
Regardless, everyone put your workin’ face on and get everything in order for the new season.
