10 Anti-Valentine’s Day Songs
WP content

I for one have always been fond of Hallmark’s favorite holiday, Valentine’s Day, ever since I was a child. Whether my plans entailed a date with my significant other, a date with a random person I assaulted on the street and dragged out to dinner with me, a Galentine’s Day party a la Parks and Recreation, hanging out with my parents, or cuddling with my dog, I have always wholeheartedly appreciated the day. I thrived on making little Valentine Day cards for my peers in second grade and building a mailbox covered in glitter and paper hearts to receive cards of my own. Each Valentine’s morning I’d wake up and come downstairs to find a heart-shaped box of chocolates that my dad left in front of my place at the kitchen table. However, I am fully aware that not everyone is the biggest fan of the holiday. So, whether you recently suffered through a break-up or just think Valentine’s Day is stupid, here is a soundtrack that will properly set the mood for the night. Here is my anti-Valentine’s Day playlist.

1. "Youth" – Daughter

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones. 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs. Setting fire to our insides for fun. Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong.

2. "Ridin’ Solo" – Jason Derulo

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine. I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky. I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo.

3. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" – Taylor Swift

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: Ooh, we called it off again last night, but oh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you, we are never ever ever getting back together.

4. "Somebody That I Used to Know" – Gotye

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: And I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough.

5. "Love Song" – Sara Bareilles

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason to write you a love song today.

6. "Stronger" – Kelly Clarkson

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

7. "So Sick" – Ne-Yo

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears, so done with wishing you were still here. Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow, so why can't I turn off the radio?

8. "Irreplaceable" – Beyonce

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: You must not know about me. I could have another you in a minute, matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby.

9. "Forget You" – Cee Lo Green

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: I pity the fool that falls in love with you

10. "Burn" – Ray Lamontagne

Best Anti-Valentine lyric: Try to ignore all this blood on the floor, it's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding.

The Les Misérables soundtrack would also work.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
