Let's face it, it's summertime and no one wants to be stuck inside at work all week when plenty of other fun things could be happening - road trips, bonfires with friends, and trips to the cottage. While I can't give you a get out of jail free card, these songs will help you last until the weekend.


1. "I'm Alive (Life Sounds Like)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead

Ever heard that song that goes "Say heyyyy, I'll be gone today....I love you, I love you, I love you"? The guy who sings that song also sings this one, called "I'm Alive," and it's just as catchy. I honestly can't remember how I found it but it's become one of my all-time favorites.

2. "Get Out - Casey Abrams"

Another one that I don't know how I found but it's become one of my favorites. You might recognize the artist- yes, it's that Casey Abrams from season 10 of American Idol. It's a breakup song, but it's very upbeat and you'll be humming it all day long.

3. "Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer"

Classic, upbeat pop song that just about everyone knows. It's cliche because it's such a good pick-me-up song.

4. "Brand New - Ben Rector"

I've heard this on the radio recently, and like "Keep Your Head Up," it's another upbeat pop song that will have you singing along.

5. "Good Life - OneRepublic"

Disney used this song in one of their TV commercials for Disney World, and now whenever I hear this song, all I can think about is Disney World.

6. "Ophelia - The Lumineers"

I got my little sister hooked on this catchy tune from The Lumineers' most recent album. "O-Ophelia, heaven help the fool who falls in love."

7. "Pencil Full of Lead" - Paolo Nutini

I love one of Paolo Nutini's other songs called "New Shoes," but this one's got an old-fashioned big band sound that I'm obsessed with.

8. "Bibia Be Ye Ye" - Ed Sheeran

After Divide came out, I was curious as to what "Bibia Be Ye Ye" meant. According to the internet, this phrase means "everything will be alright" in a language called Twi, spoken by the Ashanti people in South Ghana.

9. "Something That I Want" - Grace Potter

This song is on the Tangled soundtrack, which is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies. I used to listen to some of Grace Potter's music, and I still love this song.

10. "Celeste" - Ezra Vine

I discovered this song quite recently and it's become my new favorite song. It just makes me smile when I hear the opening few bars.

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.
