Here are some happy tunes to help combat your blues.

1. Bubbly By: Colbie Caillat

This songs just makes me smile and it gives off some nostalgic vibes.

2. 10,000 Hours By: Dan + Shay (with Justin Bieber)

Even though country music and Justin Bieber don't seem to run together often, this song shows that it actually works!

3. I'm Yours By: Jason Mraz

This song, much like "Bubbly", gives off very nostalgic vibes for me. The scat parts are what really make me smile/laugh.

4. On Top Of The World By: Imagine Dragons

Considering the recurring mantra is, "I'm on top of the world", this song just radiates positive vibes.

5. I Lived By: OneRepublic

When reading the lyrics, some verses don't seem very positive, but the overarching lesson is to have a positive outlook in all circumstances.

6. Can't Stop the Feeling By: Justin Timberlake

Just by watching the dance moves in the video, I start smiling.

7. Hey, Soul Sister By: Train

I was OBSESSED with this song back in 1st grade when MTV actually played music! So, AGAIN, nostalgia plays a big part in this song making the list.

8. Classic By: MKTO

STRONG middle school dance vibes right here. I can still sing this song WORD for WORD.

9. Don't Worry, Be Happy By: Bob Marley (written by Bobby McFerrin)

Just reading the title, it is pretty obvious that this is a happy song.

10. Good Time By: Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen

To put it simply, when you are having a "good time", you're probably happy.

11. Walking on Sunshine By: Katrina and The Waves

This song just radiates positive energy inside and out.

12. Best Day of My Life By: American Authors

Quite an odd music video, but still a very happy song.

13. Footloose By: Kenny Loggins

I learned every word to this song for a middle school concert... just try me. Personally, it is near impossible to hear this song without dancing some way.

14. Celebration By: Kool & the Gang

This song perfectly expresses how I am going to feel after social gatherings are acceptable again.

15. September By: Earth, Wind & Fire

I low-key have the instrumental part memorized because of high school band.

16. Happy By: Pharrell Williams

1. Obviously, this song had to make the list... It's literally called "happy".

2. I know the harmony to this because of high school choir. (I'm an alto)

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
