10 Mellow Songs To Relax To

Everyone goes through days of stress, especially college students who are just trying to figure their lives out while they grow up. Here's a playlist of my favorite songs that help me stay calm during times of distress.

10. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

This song is well-known to any classic 70s music lover. The song reminds me that it's okay when things aren't right because that's all a part of growing up.

9. Location by Khalid

This is a more recent song with a beautiful melody that's sung by a calm voice that just strikes an at-ease emotion in me every time I listen to it.

8. Better Together by Jack Johnson

This song has a very simple beat, and the singer sounds a bit like John Mayer with his smooth voice as he serenades the listener telling a tale about happier times with the one he loves.

7. Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones

This classic tune takes my imagination to a world of pure bliss where everyone is free to live their life as wild horses do.

6. Swallowed In The Sea by Coldplay

This song is more on the sad side, but it still helps put my mind at ease when I just need a moment of clarity to remind myself that everything will be alright.

5. American Honey by Lady Antebellum

This song is at the top of my list of absolute favorites. It's especially wonderful to listen to in the summertime when I'm able to spend time with the people I care about while making plenty of summer memories.

4. West Coast by Lana Del Rey

This song is a little bit more upbeat, but it also has an overall calm tune that instills a sense of empathy when I listen to the lyrics.

3. Strip It Down by Luke Bryan

This song is a bit "adulterous" for a young listener, but the lyrics along with the slowed down beat just make for a moment that takes you to another realm of happiness as Luke Bryan sings about his beloved.

2. All I Want by Dawn Golden

This song has a gorgeous beat with some slowed down lyrics and a wonderful emotion that goes along with the song. Each word catches the ear.

1. One Love by Bob Marley

The king of Rastafari couldn't be left off of the list. This song is perfect to relax as Marley sings about people needing to love each other, which is perfect in reference to the prejudice battles so many people are fighting against in the United States right now.

Just chill and take a moment even if you only have enough time for just one song.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
