6 Songs To Help You Survive Life

Who could not live without music? It is as if it is a language of its own. It is one of the only things that can unite people from all walks of life. These are just six songs that I think anyone can relate to during different stages of life. I hope they can help you, too:

1. For falling in love: "God Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts

For a native New Yorker, I'll admit it: I am a sucker for country music, especially Rascal Flatts. His lyrics always seem to speak not from the head, but from the heart.

2. For travel: "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn

Anyone can relate to the excitement of traveling to a place, and Cohn perfectly captures this in his song about his real trip to Memphis. After you leave a place, you are permanently changed. I just love how he was able to write a whole song in rhyme about a trip he went on. He is truly talented.

3. For not caring what others think: "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World

This is one of the songs that I listened to frequently during high school and still do. It always has a way of always lifting my spirits. Who couldn't love lyrics like "try your best, try everything you can, and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away?"

4. For not letting life pass you by: "Weightless" by All Time Low

This song always reminds me to enjoy life right now when you're young because you can never go back.


5. For just wanting to escape: "Miles Away" by The Maine

This is my absolute favorite band. All their songs are relatable, but this one rings true for anybody just wanting to run away to a beautiful place and never return to their everyday responsibilities. "When the buzz ain't like it was, then it's time for a change."

6. For not knowing what you're doing with life: "(Un) Lost" by The Maine

Because who hasn't been confused at one point or another? "Control what you can, confront what you can't. And always remember how lucky you are to have yourself."

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.
