Hobart and William Smith Colleges' very own all-female a cappella group, "Three Miles Lost," released a powerful video singing the song ’Til It Happens to You’, written by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren to show that they stand in solidarity against sexual assault, along with their campus.

Lady Gaga is sponsoring a contest called "Sing for Survivors" in conjunction with the "It's On Us" organization to put an end to sexual assault. The contest consists of a cappella groups from all across the country creating their own arrangement of the song and creating a video using their campus.

The video has gone viral on HWS's campus, already has 32,000 views on YouTube in 48 hours, including a comment from Jacki Zehner, who is one of the many Executive Producers of the film The Hunting Ground, and commented on the video saying, "I want you to know that the whole team has seen this. I cannot speak on behalf of everyone, but on behalf of me, thank you. May this be an example for all Universities. Your talent is amazing." And lastly, the most exciting shoutout of them all, Lady Gage herself, tweeted "Watch them as they rise up. SURVIVORS all around you. You won't believe it #TillItHappensToYou" with the Youtube video.

The members of "Three Miles Lost" are so thrilled with how far the video has already come in such a short period of time and want to urge people to continue to keep sharing it with everyone they know so that way they can reach a much wider audience. Please watch, vote, and share!

Also, here is the link to the ItsOnUs pledge that people can sign to show their support in stopping sexual assault.

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.
