Do you ever make a life-changing, earth-shattering discovery that you just want to shout from the mountain tops and inform everyone about? Well, I do. Trust me, you’ll like it.

I was sitting in the library with a friend one Sunday evening, “trying” to be productive. As I was scrolling through Facebook or Buzzfeed (it honestly could have been anything, it was all a social-media-distraction-blur), I came across this video:


So this man, Rhett Price, remixes pop songs with his violin. Ever since I heard this beautiful music, I can’t stop listening to it. Price is a violinist/songwriter who graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston. He doesn’t just cover songs. Price came out with his own album, titled "Kesha's Mom,"which displays his songwriting and violin skills simultaneously with his own pop-classical creations.

He debuted on iTunes Alterative EP Chart at number 10. The album was also number 12 on Billboard’s Classical crossover list, and number 27 on Billboard’s Classical list. A year ago, Price embarked on a 30-date tour around the country, sharing his unique music that you can’t help but love. His Facebook page has around 120k likes, and his YouTube channel has more than 44k subscribers. Clearly, I am not the only one who loves his sound.

Price’s music takes a modern twist on classical music, and he lets his violin do the talking. Even in his videos you can tell he is passionate about the music he makes. If you find yourself in a social-media-distraction-blur, go listen to his music. Don’t worry, I’ll consider it being productive.

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.
