10 Songs That Will Turn Strangers Into New Friends
ACE DJ Entertainment LLC

Once you get to college, meeting new people is essential. How else are you going to make friends? A great way to find common ground is through music. Here's an awesome playlist to listen to when you're all playing card games together in the student center or hanging out in someone's dorm room.

1) "Nobody's Perfect" from Hannah Montana

Jamming out to this song together will be such a nice reminder that these people have had the same childhood as you.

2) "Ways To Be Wicked" from Descendants 2

A new squad bop to let out your inner villain. You can also reveal which character you are most like.

3) "Bye Bye Bye" by *NSYNC

We know how this song goes even though we were all babies when it came out.

4) "All Star" by Smash Mouth

This song has spawned some sick remixes that you can look up when you're done listening to this one. It also brings up "Shrek" memories.

5) "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical

Here's another childhood favorite. Who wouldn't want to burst into the full song and dance number when this song comes on?

6) "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato

Its sass has made it the song of the summer. You all can musically flip off anyone who's wronged you.

7) "This is Me" from Camp Rock

Another Demi one! Everyone will want to belt it out like her character did at the end of Final Jam.

8) "What's My Name" from Descendants 2

Because China Anne McClain is the queen. This is also a good segue into which, if any, Descendants movies people have seen.

9) "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton

The classic song to bring people together. You and your new crew will have a "White Chicks" singing in the car moment.

10) "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift

Its music video will allow you to marvel at and discuss all the little references together. Is the diamond bath a diss towards Kim Kardashian? Was the car crash scene meant to bash Katy Perry? The possibilities are endless.


These songs are sure to bring camradeire to you and your new crew. How did you connect with your college friends? Are there any songs you think I've missed? Be sure to let me know.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
