Day 03: A Song that makes You Happy

Howdy friends,

Miraculously, I have successfully made it to Day 03 of the 30 Day Song Challenge without any further screw-ups. Today is going to be the best because the theme is a song that makes me happy! And what could be better than a happy Rachel? I'll tell you, peanut butter. But, today, that's beside the point. The song that makes me happy every time it comes on is...

"Dog Days are Over" by Florence + The Machine. Without fail, the chorus of this song makes me get up out of my chair and dance. And I'm a bad dancer. In fact, I have recently made this song my official theme song of the 2010-2011 school year. [Last years theme song was "Weightless" by All Time Low.] I like to think that I have entered a new and better stage of my life, [thus the "New at Life" blog] and this song just oozes freshness. My dog days are over, and thank God. On to bigger things, a bigger me. So thanks, Florence, for the fabulous song. It makes my day every time I here it.

Obviously this is not the only song that makes me happy. I have multiple "Smile Song" playlists on iTunes that I listen to when I'm the happiest and when I want to be the happiest and when I don't think that I can be the happiest. So, I listen to it all the time. "Dog Days are Over" is a part of my most recent "Smile Song" playlist. Other songs from that playlist and Honorable Mention Happy Songs are: "King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles, "Walking the Dog" by Fun. and "Rockin' Robin" by Michael Jackson.

I'm off to study now, procrastinating as usual, one more final and I get to go home. Wish me luck, friends. Here's to songs you love after finding them randomly on iTunes, awkward jiggle dancing, and music that can make you the happiest.
