The Going Home Playlist
Meg Stafford

It's that time of year again. The holidays are upon us and that means everyone is getting ready to make their way home to family, friends and good food. In my case, my time abroad is coming to a close, and I will be headed back to the States after a semester of living in London and traveling all over Europe. As bittersweet as this is, nothing gets me more excited than a playlist filled with songs about home sweet home. So whether you're coming home after a long three months away, or simply taking a road-trip home for a long weekend, this playlist is sure to get you ready for the comforts of home, wherever that may be.

Who Says You Can't Go Home - Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles

Favorite lyric: You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home/These are my streets, the only life I've ever known/Who says you can't go home

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Favorite lyric: Let me come home/Home is wherever I'm with you

This City - Patrick Stump

Don't Forget Where You Belong - One Direction

Home - Daughtry


Favorite lyric: I'm going to the place where love/And feeling good don't ever cost a thing

Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel

Favorite lyric: Homeward bound/Home where my thought's escaping/Home where my music's playing

A Face to Call Home - John Mayer

Favorite lyric: You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart/And a face to call home

Nashville - Noah Gundersen

Favorite lyric: It's a long, long way back to Nashville/Where I come from, where I been/It's a long, long way back to Nashville/But I promise I will see you again

Almost Home - Ben Rector


Favorite lyric: And with all that noise around me/I found a peace that I could call my own/And we're almost home

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
