A Playlist From A Middle Schooler's iPod In 2014

I started my middle school years in 2012 as a sixth-grader. This was a crucial time period for my taste in music because it evolved so much in 3 years and really took on its own shape. I learned during middle school that I was really into indie/pop-rock music, boybands, Bollywood music, and just songs that sounded good in general.

I really liked being able to vibe to good music while doing work or exercising. As a middle schooler, I wasn't allowed to have a phone yet, but the closest thing I had was an iPod touch, which I really loved at the time. It was very similar to an iPhone, but it could not be used for calling.

My iPod housed the large collections of songs I loved and adored at the time, and it was one of my most prized possessions. I had so much music for so many different moods, but I noticed that most of my music during this time was energetic and moving.

1. "Hey Soul Sister" — Train

2. "Fireflies" — Owl City

3. "Living Louder" — The Cab

4. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" — Panic at the Disco

5. "Somewhere in Neverland" — All Time Low

6. "Tell Me I'm a Wreck" — Every Avenue

7. "Everything has Changed" — Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran

8. "Check Yes, Juliet" — We The Kings

9. "Loverboy" — You Me At Six

10. "Don't Wanna Go Home" — Jason Derulo

11. "Down" — Jay Sean

12. "Forever" — Chris Brown

13. "Don't Say Goodnight" — Hot Chel

14. "A Different Side of Me" — Allstar Weekend

15. "Come Back Home" — We Are The In Crowd

16. "Scene Three-Stomach Tied in Knots" — Sleeping With Sirens

17. "Waiting for the End" — Linkin Park

18. "Die Young" — Kesha

19. "Good Feeling" — Flo Rida

20. "Everybody Talks" — Neon Trees

21. "Starships" — Nicki Minaj

22. "Payphone" — Maroon 5, Wiz Khalifa

23. "Mirrors" — Justin Timberlake

24. "Just the Way You Are" — Bruno Mars

25. "That's What Makes You Beautiful" — One Direction

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

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.
