The Ultimate Destress Playlist
danverspublicschools.org

It is no surprise that finals and last minute projects and tests are underway, and let's be honest, we could all use some time to destress. I've compiled a list of songs that are guaranteed to help you unwind and relax— so take a hot shower, make yourself a cup of tea, cuddle up in a blanket and press play on this playlist.

1. "Green to Grey," "Love Fell Down," "Lonesome" by Gavin Creel

Gavin Creel, known mainly for his Broadway stardom, has also released his fair share of non-musical-theatre music and these three songs are the perfect songs to shake the stress off.

2. "Drops of Jupiter" by Train

This classic song is one to automatically put your mind at ease.

3. "Gravity," "Daughters," "Stop This Train," "Why Georgia" (basically every song) by John Mayer

No explanation needed for this one.

4. "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles

Sara Bareilles is a queen and "Gravity" can do absolutely no wrong.

5. "Bubble Toes" by Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson's beachy vibe makes for the best cool down song.

6. "Look After You" by The Fray

Also, a good song if you need a good cry.

7. "Forever Like That," "Life Keeps Moving On," "Sailboat" (once again basically every song) by Ben Rector

Ben Rector is the cure to every bad/stressful moment ever; press play and you'll see.

8. "Paper Hearts" by Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly is incredible and this song makes my (and hopefully your) heart happy.

9. "The Scientist" by Coldplay

This song works wonders for de-stressing.

10. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz

There is no denying that this song can't put a smile on your face.

11. "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith ft. John Legend

This is definitely heaven in a song.

12. "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat

This song is so underrated and the perfect ending to this playlist.

And for your listening pleasure, I've created a Spotify playlist with all of these songs, happy de-stressing!

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.
