Reaction videos are pretty popular when it comes to YouTube. People just love to see each others' reaction to a video that they have never seen before. As for me, I find them quite entertaining. There's this YouTuber who I watch all the time; his name is Robert Jay Perez. However, he is known as Jay from the Kubz Scouts. He's very popular with playing video games and sometimes he will post "Try not to laugh challenges" or video reactions.

Listening to Kpop for the first time (It changed my life)." Around that time, I knew that K-pop had been on the rise, but I hadn't listened to any of it. So, it was a first for me and Jay together. Jay has a lot of fans who are into K-Pop and he wanted to know what the hype is all about.

He pulled up BTS's music video "Not Today" which is the very first K-Pop song that either of us has listened to. At first, I thought it was just decent. However, one day I was walking to class (since I'm a college student) and that song magically appeared in my head! I kept replaying the song over and over again. Soon, I started listening to more of BTS's songs.

BTS stands for "Bangtan Boys" and is an acronym for the Korean expression Bangtan Sonyeondan, meaning "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" as well. As I kept listening to their songs, I slowly started to realize that I'm becoming a fan. I even started listening to other K-Pop groups like EXO, NCTU, Wanna One and many others!

There are many K-Pop groups for people to listen to. It's great because I love discovering new music and even though I'm not fluent in speaking Korean, it's a very elegant and soothing language to listen to.

I actually like knowing more about the different cultures of people and music. In my opinion, I think it's awesome to get out of your own comfort zone of a genre and listen to something else that you don't usually hear. That is what happened to me with K-Pop and it's very similar to American music, except they speak Korean.

I love the idea of people supporting a foreign music group and making them popular, even if they don't know the language the group is singing in. The different types of music for people to listen are endless, K-Pop is a great one. I'm glad that I came across it and gave it a listen. As of now, I still listen to it. Perhaps, you should give it a chance, and who knows, you might love it just as much as I do!

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.
