20 Songs To Celebrate Singleness

www.drew.edu

Lately, it seems like fall couples are as numerous as the leaves. They're falling everywhere near me: on Instagram, on the path, in my dorm, on Facebook, on TV, and everywhere in between. I fully support and appreciate the burgeoning romances my friends are experiencing, but I also think that it is more important to accept and appreciate my own singleness. While it's easy to long for a different season of life where I may not be single, I would rather spend this time enjoying my singleness and making the most of the season I am presently in.

A big way that society whispers (or shouts) messages that oppose my resolve is through music. A huge fraction of music produced worldwide are love songs or relate to love, so in order to live my present life enjoying singleness, I try to avoid listening to excessive amounts of these hits and instead focus my listening to playlists including songs like the following:

1. Zac Brown Band Feat. Jimmy Buffet - Knee Deep

2. 2. OneRepublic - Secrets

3. 3. Bastille - Pompeii

4. 4. Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

5. 5. Steven Curtis Chapman - Fingerprints of God

6. 6. OneRepublic - Good Life

7. 7. Sara Bareilles - Brave

8. 8. Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying

9. 9. Chris Rice - The Other Side of the Radio

10. The Aristocats - Scales and Arpeggios

11. David Cook - The Time Of My Life

12. Radical Face - Welcome Home, Son

13. The Beatles - Hey Jude

14. Smash Mouth - All Star

15. Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis

16. Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire

17. Michael Bublé - Feeling Good

18. James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind

19. Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Want To Be

20. Ellie Goulding - Burn

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.
