Music can be that extra something that motivates you to keep pushing. These empowering pop and alternative songs are just that. So give them a listen, check out their music videos, and add them to your pregame and pre-study playlists. You won't regret it!

1. "Walk On Water" by Thirty Seconds To Mars

 

When I looked up this song after hearing it on the radio, I did not expect it to be by Thirty Seconds To Mars! It’s not their typical tune, but I love this song. Walk On Water is a great pregame song/pre-workout song. If you need that extra hype, you can find it here.

2. "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato has done it again!

Getting over an ex? Need to speed up the process? Then Sorry Not Sorry was MADE for you. This song is all you need to remind yourself that hey… you’re a savage and your ex is missin out. BIG TIME.

3. "Whatever It Takes" by Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons is one of my favorite bands, and they have done it again with Whatever It Takes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the work you have to get done, this is a song that can inspire you to keep going. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you have whatever it takes to make it to the finish.

 

After you look up this song, make sure to give Thunder a listen too!

4. "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift

 

Both of Taylor Swift's new releases (…Ready For It? and Look What You Made Me Do) are empowering songs that are must haves for your workout playlist. With awesome beats and invigorating lyrics, they’ll give you all the motivation you need. (May I add that Look What You Made Me Do’s music video is ICONIC).

5. "The Man" by The Killers

 

This is the best song to cruise to! You best BELIEVE I have gas in the tank and money in the bank! The Man is a classic reminder that heck... you got it.

6. "Praying" by Ke$ha

The last song on this list, Praying is a little bit different than the other songs I've mentioned. Instead of having a hard-hitting beat or forceful lyrics, it stresses the power in moving on and wishing the best for people that have hurt you. I love it and Ke$ha’s incredible comeback.

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.
