While cold and flu season is coming to an end, the threat of coronavirus (COVID-19) is becoming a real fear around our country. Memes galore exist (surely you've seen the ones going around about cheap flights), but it is important for young adults to learn best practices and tips as a means to prevent the spread of diseases and viruses.

Though healthy young adults seemingly do not have an overwhelming cause for concern, it is important for us to be as hygienic as possible to prevent spreading an illness to someone statistically more susceptible. One of the biggest pieces of advice floating around is to wash hands often and thoroughly; So, here is a short list of songs to sing while scrubbing those hands:

"Africa" by Toto

Chorus lyrics: "It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you / There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do / I bless the rains down in Africa / Gonna take some time to do the things we never had"

"No Scrubs" by TLC

Chorus lyrics: "No, I don't want no scrubs / a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me / hangin/ out the passenger side of his best friend's ride / trying to holla at me / I don't want no scrubs / a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me / hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride / trying to holla at me"

"Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes

Chorus lyrics: "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain / If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain / If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape / I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me, and escape"

"...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears

Chorus lyrics: "My loneliness is killing me (and I) / I must confess I still believe (still believe) / When I'm not with you / I lose my mind / Give me a sign / Hit me, baby, one more time"

"American Pie" by Don McLean

Chorus lyrics: "Bye, bye Miss American Pie / Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry / And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye / Singin' this'll be the day that I die / This'll be the day that I die"

Happy washing, and don't forget to get under those nails!

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.
