All The Small Things
By Blink-182

“All The Small Things” is a great upbeat song that just gets stuck in your head. This song makes me think about just walking out of school on the last day! Before you know it you will be humming along. One ironic lyric is, “Work sucks, I know,” very suitable for the last six weeks, so if you are feeling like school work sucks, put some headphones in and try listening to “All The Small Things.”
