Driving in a car can be pretty fun, especially when you have music to listen and sing along to. Although, listening to the radio can get boring from time to time.

Having a music app like Spotify or even making a CD to play in your car could help you come up with new songs to listen to on a road trip without the constant 5 songs playing in a row. When it comes to coming up with good road trip music, always look towards the classics.

Everything from the 70's through the early 20's; feel good songs that will bring you back to the days of your childhood. Here is a list of a few songs that could liven up any road trip playlist.

1. Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John and Kiki Dee

This fun little diddy released in 1976, and it is a classic that is fun to sing-a-long to with your best friend.


2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

A classic. Do I need to say anymore?


3. Dancing Queen - ABBA

"You are the Dancing Queen. Young and sweet. Only seventeen..." but you don't have to be seventeen to love this song.


4. You Give Love A Bad Name (Shot Through The

Heart) - Bon Jovi

Commonly known as "Shot Through The Heart", released in 1986, this song is a rock' roll hit.


5. Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

One of Led Zeppelin's most recognizable songs. With an excellent tune and chorus, how would you not love it?


6. Dream On - Aerosmith

Aerosmith is one of the most popular classic rock bands out there. This song has a calm sense and is a very powerful ballad.


7. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

Fun Fact: Did you know that the lyrics to this song came from a poem Axl Rose was working on?


8. Come Sail Away - Stix

"Come sail away... Come sail away... Come sail away with me" off into a daydream of great music.


9. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

"Stayin' Alive... Statin' Alive..." This is definitely a song worth listening to. With it's catchy tune, it's no wonder why many people turn to this song on karaoke nights.


10. December, 1963 - Frankie Valli & The Four Season

Frankie Valli's December, 1963 is a very catchy song. With Valli's high notes, it just takes you back to the early sixties.


11. The Logical Song - Supertramp

This song's message about logic restricting creativity and passion has a special place in my heart, and I hope it will touch you the same way.


12. Piano Man - Billy Joel

A great song to sing by yourself or with another friend. It's perfect for taking the lone road.


13. The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

This 1976 song is great to sing-a-long to in a car full of friends and family. It has a great beat that will liven up any party.


14. American Pie - Don McLean

I don't know much about Don McLean, but I do know this song is an instant American hit usually played a lot on the fourth of July.


15. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen

Did you know it took Bruce Springsteen six months to prefect the song "Born To Run"?

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.

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.
