Wake Up

I am not a morning person. At all. I'm one of those people who turn off their alarm and roll over and go back to sleep, or I decide I'm going to get up, blink... and two hours has passed since then. But now I have started university, I decided that this zombie-like behaviour in the morning must come to an end. I shall become responsible and I shall not ignore that horrible bane-of-my-existance alarm clock any more. And I have come up with the perfect solution: a WAKE UP playlist. And so far it has worked quite well. So I decided to share with you the songs that are fantastic to get you out of bed and start the day.

• Lazy bones- Green Day

Now, this is number one for many reasons. The first song is crucial, so I gave it tremendous thought (sadly that is what I do in my spare time) and came to the conclusion of 'Lazy bones,' which the title pretty much sums up how I feel in the morning. However, it is not only the song's content that made this decision, but also the frantic, quick paced drum beat in the introduction, that causes your own heart to break from the lethargic rhythm it had in sleep and adopt a more crazed beat that matches Green Day. The genius about the song's lyrics and music; it suits many moods. If you wake up grumpy and exhausted, wanting more sleep, the first lines are: "I'm too tired to be bored, I'm too bored to be tired" which you can agree with. If you are in a bad mood, the swearing in the second verse is really satisfying to hear first thing in the morning, and if you are in a good mood, the lyrics are just funny and you can easily jump out of bed and dance along to the music.
So, the amazing 'Lazy Bones' followed by:

• Stray Heart- Green Day
• X-Kid- Green Day
• My songs know what you did in the dark (Light Em Up)- Fall out Boy
• I don't care- Fall out Boy
• Radioactive- Imagine Dragons
• On top of the world- Imagine Dragons
• Don't stop (Color on the walls)- Foster the People
• Come on Eileen- Dexy's Midnight Runners
• Counting down the days- Good Charlotte
• Animal- Neon Trees
• In the next room- Neon Trees
• Counting Stars- OneRepublic
• Primadonna- Marina and the Diamonds
• Hall of Fame- The Script
• Good Ol' Days- The Script
• When I'm gone- Simple Plan

All of these songs are great motivators and really do help getting out of bed, getting ready for the day and being mentally focussed with the tasks at hand, no matter which mood you wake up with, because this is so true:
