I'll Be Over Here At The Alessia Cara Concert

Alessia and her three opening acts owned the stage.

I'll Be Over Here At The Alessia Cara Concert

Feb. 1, 2016, Alessia Cara stopped in Atlanta for her Know-It-All tour. She had three opening acts including Leaf, Craig Stickland and Kevin Garrett. The show was at the small, but intimate, venue, Terminal West.

The show started with Leaf, a female rapper who dedicated a song to independent women and proceeded to spell “money” for two minutes. Craig Stickland took the stage after her and he made my heart melt. He looked so similar to Hozier and his voice quite possibly made every girl go weak in the knees. He played acoustic guitar during his set and it just made it 1,000 times better. Stickland also performed a refreshingly odd cover of “Hello” and it had me sold.

Kevin Garrett played the last set before Alessia, and him and his “band” reminded me of Troye Sivan’s album “Blue Neighborhood.” The similarities between Garrett’s set and Sivan’s album were very strong and although Garrett’s songs were a bit slower, it was a pretty good set.

Alessia finally came on stage around 9:45 p.m. and the atmosphere changed. I’ve never heard any of her songs other than “Here," so I was pretty interested in how it was going to go.

As it turns out, I really like what Alessia stands for. She’s all for body positivity and she’s so real. She had songs about heartbreak and the people you know you should let go of and songs about the people that keep you grounded. She incorporated a mini cover of “Diamonds” by Rihanna in her own song “Stars.” Her set was incredible and it was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen.


All in all, it was a great show and I'll definitely be seeing her again the next time she comes to Atlanta. She has such an amazing aura on stage and she's incredible at what she does.

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.
