Ever wanted to become a fantastic singer just like your favorite musicians? Well, now you can! With just a few easy steps and a couple of decades of training, you too can be just like them!

(Disclaimer: After speaking with my lawyer, he said it would be advisable to tell people that this is satire, as the steps given here can be harmful to your voice if followed. so...WARNING: This article is satire and should not be taken as a serious series of tips or a guide to singing. Vocal damage could occur if these instructions are taken seriously.)

1. Get relaxed

Slouch those shoulders, put your hands in your pockets, and lean back, it's time to sing!


2. Take a seat

Sitting has been anatomically proven to be the best position to sing in, so find that favorite lazy chair!

3. Lean forward

Leaning forward directs the sound to your audience and makes you seem louder.

4. Shallow breathing

It isn't unusual to have your shoulders move up and down as you sing, just make sure your breathing is shallow and loud, stopping to breathe about every few measures.


5. Sing through your nose

Your nasal cavities cover a surprising about of your face. Use them for extra resonance.


6. Breathy is better

Who needs a voice filter when you can sound breathy all by yourself?


7. Drink milk before singing

Drinking milk before you sing creates a barrier that will let you sing longer without tiring.


8. Chew gum while signing

Chewing gum makes your breath fresher and, therefore, will make the music sound better. Pretty simple.


9. Make up your own words

Let's be honest, you never did bother to learn the real lyrics. Besides, yours are much better.


10. The worse it sounds to you, the better it sounds to us

Or something like that. I should pay better attention to my voice lesson teacher...

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.
