Drake's hit new single "God's Plan" has been the TOP SONG on Billboard Hot 100 since its debut four weeks ago. In less than a week, the music video has over 34 MILLION views!! Drake used his influence, power, and money for good. He donated nearly the entirety of the budget for "God's Plan" music video and successfully turned good deeds into viral entertainment. So where exactly did the 1 million dollars donated in the music video go? Let me break it down for you (with the help of MTV)...

To start, $20,000 was donated to the City of Miami Fire Department.

A $50,000 check was made out to the Lotus House Women's Shelter, a shelter for women and children based in Miami, FL.

Drake also donated 130 $150 Target gift cards to the women of the Lotus House Women's Shelter, that's $19,500.

So far that's $89,500.

A $50,000 scholarship was donated to Destiny James, a junior at University of Miami.

$10,000 went to The University of Miami's music school.

A total of $50,000 was spent at a grocery store, where Drake announced that all groceries were on him.

We are only at $199,500.

Out of the total of $996,631.90, it is not clear exactly how much was donated where; however, the video is FILLED with Drake handing random strangers stacks of cash, taking women on shopping sprees, buying toys for dozens of children, and just being KIND.

In the end, all $996,631.90 went to humans in need and supported the city of Miami.

Drake posted on his Instagram, "I am not into challenges on IG I find them annoying, but today I am going to challenge everyone to just go out and do something for someone...Anything, the smallest thing, just to bring another human being some joy and please tag me in it somehow so I can see all the love being spread..."

So, go out and complete the challenge, not just today, not just tomorrow, but everyday for the rest of your life. Money is not needed to donate kindness, integrity, and love.

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.
