5 Drake Songs For All Your Different Moods

As we approach Oct. 26, the birthday of Aubrey Drake Graham, aka "October's Very Own," one of the musical icons of our generation, we are taking the time to reflect on Drizzy's versatility and overall domination of the game. As a result of his greatness, Drake has song for your every mood.

1. "Best I Ever Had" (2009)

Mood: Sensual Nostalgia

The title speaks for itself, its not to be confused. This is a vintage Drake track right here. This is a song you throw on when you're reflecting on that one special evening, with that one special someone.

2. "Headlines" (2011)

Mood: Pregame Mindset

This is a pregame hype track at its finest. When you're sitting in the locker room, this track is sure to get the juices flowing. Also if you're just looking for an "overdose of confidence" and trying to "stop feeling the consequence," this songs for you.

3. "Hotline Bling" (2015)

Mood: When You're Missing The Ex

This is the 2 a.m. text to the ex vibe. This is an old-model Drake song, the pre-"If You're Reading This" Drake that scrolls through the numbers in his phone and texts them how they're "wearing less and going out more." Everyone catches this overly concerned mood once in awhile.

4. "Marvin's Room" (2011)

Mood: The Drunk Dial

Drake slips out of a packed club and calls The One Woman He Can't Have. This is the type of vibe when you see a relationship and think "I'm Just saying you can do better." No one moves as fluidly between pillow talk and a couch session as Drake.

5. "Just Hold On, We're Going Home" (2013)

Mood: Catchy Love Song/Good Vibes

“I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly” epitomize the very nature of the song. If anything, this is a very simple song with a very soft sentiment. This song is just all-around good vibes.

And while we come to my last song review, I would like to point out whether the "6 God" is rapping or singing, about relationships, money, wealth, and power, the man puts out heat. Happy early birthday, Drizzy—a toast to you for dominating the game.

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.
