8 Songs Every Twenty-Something Should Have On Their Playlist

There's no doubt that being in your 20s can be a scary time. You're graduating college, starting your first real job and starting your adult life. If you need a music break from life (which I highly suggest everyone takes once in a while,) I suggest listening to these songs. Whether they're fun or uplifting, they'll help you through the crazy time that is your 20s.


1. I'll Be There For You - The Remembrants
You probably know this tune as the theme song to "Friends," but it's so much more. This is a timeless song about being there for someone through the thick and thin - whether you're flat broke or have a broken heart. It's an anthem for friendships everywhere, in all their weirdness and glory.


2. Wonderwall - Oasis

If there was a "Most Likely to Hit You Hard in the Feels" song, it would go to this tune (sorry, Adele.) This has been the "song" of probably 3984729375 couples over the last 20 years, and who can blame them for picking it? The song perfectly describes what it's like to love someone. Plus, who doesn't love Liam Gallagher's voice?


3. Shut Up and Dance - Walk The Moon

This smash hit from Walk the Moon is arguably the best song to come out in 2015. It's fun, catchy and has the best message any 20-something can take - sometimes you just have to shut up and dance!


4. Ignition (Remix) - R. Kelly

This is the party jam to end ALL party jams. R. Kelly's classic hit is one that anyone in any generation can have a good time to. Put this song on anywhere you go to party and watch people swarm to the dance floor.


5. Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia

I dare you to listen to this song and not get pumped up. David Guetta's beats combined with Sia's uniquely eerie voice create a beautiful pop/EDM song. The message in "Titanium" is important for all 20-somethings as well - you can shoot us down, but we won't fall. Just give it one listen and you'll feel empowered.


6. Fix You - Coldplay

There is no doubt that being 20-something is not easy. At all. You are stepping into the adult world for what may be the first time ever, and things are going to go wrong. That's where this Coldplay hit comes in. When things get rough for you, you need a song that you can relate (and most likely cry) to. This song has a positive message underneath the sad piano tune - even if things get bad, lights will always guide you home.


7. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen


Arguably one of the best songs to ever be created, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a timeless classic that every 20-something should know. The production of the song is amazing and Freddie Mercury's voice is heavenly. It's also the song you know you and your best friends will belt out in the car as soon as it comes on.


8. Renegades - X Ambassadors

This smash hit from X Ambassadors will make you feel like you can accomplish the impossible. It's an uplifting and enjoyable alternative song that talks of going being your own person and living life as who you are. 20-somethings need a song like this, especially in a world that may be telling them to be the complete opposite of who they really are.

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.
