17 Songs To Brighten Your Day
foulline

It's cold, there is no sun, and school is going ahead at full speed- need I say more? With that said, it's pretty easy to get into a winter funk around this time of year. For me, listening to music is a great way to change my mood around and start thinking more positive thoughts. Here are 17 songs you can add to your playlists to make your days a little bit brighter!

1. Say You Won't Let Go- James Bay

If you don't believe in love, you will after you listen to this song.

2. 93 Million Miles- Jason Mraz

I will put this song on every playlist I ever make for the rest of my life because it's that good of a song. Instant mood booster, I guarantee it.

3. Little Bird- Ed Sheeran

Funny Story, the first time I ever heard this song was in Hollister. Never forget, the middle school Hollister days. Nevertheless, this song is still one of Ed's best. Upbeat, fun, an oldie but a goodie.

4. Don't Stop Making It Happen- Grouplove

Brought to you by the same band that brought you the hit "Tongue Tied" a couple years back. This song is super upbeat and will have you dancing on your feet in no time.

5. 30,000 feet- Ben Rector

If it were up to me I would have made this entire playlist Ben Rector songs, because each and every one of them makes me happy to no end. But for the sake of the article, I figured one would suffice. "30,000 feet" is on of my all time favorite. Definitely a song that makes you sit back and realize how blessed you are and all you have going for you.

6. Portugal - Walk The Moon

One of my all time favorite WTM songs, a great song to jam out to in the car as well.

7. Dance With Me- Ra Ra Riot

Get up and dance to this on, you won't regret it!

8. The Dog Days Are Over- Florence + The Machine

Can't go wrong with Florence, you just can't.

9. Don't Doubt- Blind Pilot

A bit of a slower song and not as upbeat, but definitely a great reminder that everything will work out in the end.

10. Run- COIN

A good, upbeat song can always turn that frown upside down!

11. Waiting on Summer- VHS Collection

Because who isn't waiting on summer?

12. Someday- The Strokes

The beat to this song is undeniably catchy! Try listening to this song without at least tapping your foot, I bet you can't do it.

13. Send Me On My Way- Rusted Root

Matilda, anyone?? A classic, nonetheless

14. What I Like About You- The Romantics



I had to throw this one in here, It's too good of a feel good song to not.

15. That's How You Know- Nico & Vinz

Awesome beat, undeniably catchy.

16. ILYSB- LANY

I'm a sucker for a good LANY song. Watch out for this band, they're going places.

17. Lush Life- Zara Larsson

Nothing like a good summer hit to get you through the day!

Hope these songs help to make your days brighter and happier! 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.

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.
