Bad days are unfortunately an inevitable side effect of life. Sometimes you completely miss the deadline for an assignment by just 20 minutes. Sometimes you spill coffee all over your white jeans. Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. It happens. On those bad days that seem to get worse with every minute that goes by, we should turn to Hannah Montana’s classic single, “Nobody’s Perfect.” She has a point when she says, “everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days.”
To escape from reality on the worst days ever, I’ve compiled some of my favorite tunes that immediately make me forget my troubles. For anyone who needs a pick-me-up, here is a list of songs that have the power to lift your spirits.
