John Mayer has a song for every situation life could throw at you. His music has been with me through my countless trials and tribulations. I can't even fathom how many times I've listened to all his albums on repeat. His poetic lyrics and beautiful melodies make me feel otherworldly. So, I decided to take on the challenging task of listing the 18 Best John Mayer songs. They are in no particular order because all his songs are masterpieces, duh.

18. Stop This Train

This song is the definition of an existential crisis.

17. Love Song For No One

This tune is off of John's debut album, "Room for Squares," and is the perfect bubbly love song to listen to while walking to class or sitting in a coffee shop people-watching.

16. Helpless

This is off of John's newest album, "The Search for Everything." It has the perfect mix of a retro style sound with a groovy guitar riff paired with infectious lyrics.

15. Assassin

At 5 minutes and 14 seconds, this is one of John's longer songs, but it's angelic in the way it tells the story of a man that sleeps around and isn't into commitment (an assassin), who then falls for a girl who's "an assassin too". Karma at its finest.

14. Rosie

The way he says "Perdon and lo siento" gives me goosebumps.

13. 3x5

John may have figured out the meaning of life with this song. Live in the moment, spend time with the people you love, and don't take pictures of everything you do!

12. Heartbreak Warfare

The striking guitar and smooth vocals make this a classic.

11. Daughters

How can you not like this song? I cry every time I hear it.

10. No Such Thing

The hard-hitting lyrics and attention grabbing guitar playing makes this one of John's most memorable songs.

9. Vultures

The first song I learned to play on the drum set so it holds a special place in my heart.

8. Gravity

This will be played at my wedding. One of the best love songs ever written.

7. Split Screen Sadness

Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? This song describes the feeling perfectly.

6. Bigger Than My Body

The ideal song to scream out of a car sunroof or dance around with your friends to.

5. Waiting on the World to Change

One of John's most commercially successful songs, and rightfully so. It has some of the most quotable lyrics such as, "It's hard to beat the system / when you're standing at a distance."

4. XO

This song is a cover of the Beyonce song of the same name, but it's so well done that it makes the list.

3. 83 Medley (Live in Birmingham)

One of the best mash ups ever. You can hear the audience freak out when he effortlessly transitions into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

2. Clarity

The jazzy undertone and soulful falsetto give me life.

1. Why Georgia

A motivational song about chasing your dreams instead of being clouded by fear.

John once said in an interview, "Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain." We can John, and we love you for it.

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.
