Everyone has certain songs they love to blare while taking a shower, laying on the beach or driving with the windows down. If you're a music lover like me, making playlists and taking over the aux cord is one of your favorite pastimes. However, it becomes hard to please everyone. When they start requesting songs, just turn on these crowd-pleasers and you'll have them for the rest of the ride. Here are 10 upbeat songs guaranteed to brighten you and your friends' days.

1. September by Earth, Wind, and Fire

This tune makes me want to get up wherever I am and dance. If Snapchat dedicates a filter to it, it's a pretty big deal (right?). It should be considered one of the greatest classics because of its ability to satisfy everyone's tastes.

2. Hey Ya! by OutKast


Do I really need to explain this one?

3. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You - The Twelves Remix by Black Kids

This isn't as well-known as the first two, but it's something new and different. The electronic beats will make you want to bust out your best robot move.

4. Twist and Shout by The Beatles


Remember the parade scene in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off?" That's what I think about every time I listen to this song. It captures the mood of the song perfectly.

5. Island In The Sun by Weezer


Picture this: you're on the beach, soaking up the sun, and there's a slight breeze in the air. You have a fruity umbrella drink in your hand without a care in the world. "On an island in the sun..."

6. Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners


The perfect swing dancing song — give it a try.

7. My Type by Saint Motel


The brass section in this is killer; it'll make you want to shake your tailfeathers.

8. Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry


An instant mood-booster.

9. Good As Hell by Lizzo


This is that song I love to drive to, windows down and hair flying everywhere. Ladies if you need a pick me up, here it is. 10/10 would recommend.

10. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey


Play this at any party and watch the room come to life. Expect at least three air guitarists by the end of the chorus.

It's hard to cater to a room's musical needs. With these songs, you're destined to spark someone's interest. Music has the ability to switch something on inside our heads which can change our mood instantly. Think about it next time you listen to a certain song, how do you feel after?

If you're interested, I've started a playlist on Spotify with some more feel-good songs so check it out if you're interested. Happy Listening!

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.
