There are definitely a lot of days that are harder than most and I think that, similar to a lot of people, music is what gets me through these days where I just want to lay in bed and sleep the hours away, or sit on social media and avoid homework. There are also the super anxiety filled days where it feels like there isn't enough time to get anything done (hello, exams week, and every other week as a student - amirite?). I made a list of a few (twenty is considered 'a few' right?) of the songs that get me through these days - some of the songs are definitely more upbeat than others, but, they all seem to do the trick just fine. My co-host and I even like to siting the station and listen to a few of these songs when we are having rough days.

1. "Buttons" by The Weeks


2. "I am" by AWOLNATION


3. "Looking Back" by Real Friends


4. "One Red Thread" by Blind Pilot


5. "The '59 Sound" by The Gaslight Anthem


6. "Hold On Loosely" by .38 Special


7. "Come With Me" by Echosmith


8. "Could Have Been Me" by The Struts [Thanks, Bailey]


9. "Cold Cold Man" by Saint Motel [Again, thanks, Bailey]


10. "Something" by Escape The Fate


11. "JAMIE ALL OVER" by MAYDAY PARADE [yes, I am THIS excited about this one]


12. "The Lime Tree" by Trevor Hall


13. "Sad Song" by We The Kings


14. "The Sound of Silence" by Disturbed

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.

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.
