With all the chaos from the election, I think it’s time for millennial adults to embrace the throwback pleasantries that brought so much joy to our childhood. I’m pretty sure, Hey Arnold! was a staple in many 90’s babies households. I know I loved the show greatly, and I often wondered what jazz music “football head” would listen to in 2016. It’s no secret that Arnold was a big fan of jazz music, here are five jazz songs I think Arnold would greatly enjoy in today’s crazy world.

1. Lady Wray- "Do It Again"

This soulful song is a great choice that Arnold would love. The song uses plenty of jazz elements including trumpets, drums, and a melodic singer that makes the song come to life. The song is busy, but controlled and I think football head would defiantly jam to it. The singer's soulful and brassy voice make the song unique and up-beat for Arnold.

2. Kenny G- "Songbird"

Legendary jazz icon Kenny G's "Songbird" would defiantly have Arnold relaxing to the smooth sounds of saxophone melodies. The beautifully pitched saxophone is accompanied with a laid back melody, that can lead Arnold's mind in to a dream-like trance. "Songbird" is a classic jazz song that stands the test of time and really showcases the talents of the saxophone.

3. Sade- "Smooth Operator"

(Sigh) Oh, Sade. Why do you have to be so great? "Smooth Operator" is the jazz song that gives off "sexy" vibes. It's perfect for Arnold if he wants to set the mood for a date night. With vibrant sounds from the saxophone and a sultry voice from Sade herself, Smooth Operator could guarantee Arnold win a second date after his lady listens to it.

4. Norah Jones- Don't Know Why

"Don't Know Why" is great song that will provide Arnold's ears with a contemporary jazz sound that's somewhat slow and gentle. Norah Jones's sweet voice compliments the piano so softly and it seems the two are in perfectly harmony. This song would serve as great "coffee shop music" for Arnold as it isn't loud or abrasive.

5. Tony Bennett featuring Amy Winehouse- Body and Soul

Rest In Peace Amy Winehouse. This song is so beautiful, Arnold would appreciate the raw vocal talent that Tony and Amy bring to this jazz classic. The lyrics are also beautiful and describe loving someone's physical body in all of it's imperfections and intricate soul. The two voices blend perfectly together and the soft piano in the background makes this song a joyous tune. Arnold might have this song on repeat because it truly evokes the sound of jazz.

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.
