9 New Songs to Get You Through Finals

Finals are a rough time, but the best way to get through them is with new music. I hope you enjoy these songs — they're my new favorites.

1. "Fast Car-Radio Edit" by Jonas Blue

My sister showed me this song, and I immediately found a Youtube video of it on loop for an hour and listened to it for about three days straight. It's so catchy and fun to sing to, and I can't wait to play this song driving around at night in my car. I included the one-hour video — you're welcome.


2. "Bored to Death" by Blink-182

This is Blink-182's newest song. If you're already a fan, you'll see that this song is definitely different from what they usually put out. It's not a hit, but it's fun study music that might make you feel a little middle-school-emo-hardcore.


3. "Freedom" by Beyonce feat. Kendrick Lamar

This is my second favorite song on her new album (after "Don't Hurt Yourself"), and it has been pushing me through these final days. All I have to do is finish these tests and papers, and then.... FREEDOM! Since the album is available on Tidal and iTunes only right now, I've attached a video of a performance of the song by someone else, but give the real song a listen! My new favorite lyric: "Imma keep running cuz a winner don't quit on themselves."


4. "One Dance" by Drake feat. Whisked & Kyla

Drake's newest song features a fun rhythm, even if it sounds fairly similar to a lot of his other songs. The voices of the featured artists are pretty mesmerizing.


5. "Youth" by Troye Sivan

This song makes me want to spin around in a circle with my arms out wide. Or take a road trip. Or jump on a trampoline. Maybe all three? If you're feeling old or melancholic, take a listen to this song.


6. "Runaway (U & I)" by Galantis

Although this song isn't really new, it has been climbing the pop charts lately and has become huge in the United States. It's a great song to dance to, especially if your favorite form of dancing includes jumping up and down.


7. "The Sound" by The 1975

This is one of the catchiest rock-pop songs I've heard in a while. The lyrics are a little cheeky, and once you've heard it, like me, you probably won't be able to stop listening to it until you've memorized all the lyrics. Don't worry, it took me only a day and a half.


8. "LIKE I WOULD" by ZAYN

If you've had enough of "Pillowtalk" but still want to listen to some Zayn, check out this other song of his. It's still sultry and dark like "Pillowtalk" but a little dancier, and you can actually understand most of what he's saying in this one.


9. "Desperado" by Rihanna

My favorite song off Rihanna's new album "(Anti)," "Desperado" makes you feel like you could walk into any room and take control. It also makes me add Rihanna to my list of "People I'd Want On My Side In a Fight," mostly because this song makes me simultaneously scared and in awe of her.

I hope everyone aces their finals thanks to this playlist! Hopefully, these songs correlate with good grades since they're the songs I listened to when studying!

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.
