Is The Bieber Fever Back?

Justin Bieber. Last we heard, he was driving drunk, illegally transporting a monkey across foreign borders, smoking weed, adding tattoo after tattoo to his already full sleeve, breaking Selena’s heart, getting back together, breaking up again, and on and on and on. The cute, hair-swooshing, innocent Canadian teen pop sensation had transformed in front of the public in the blink of an eye. Although Bieber had a strong group of Beliebers, his reputation was no doubt going down the drain.

In 2013, Bieber came out with the album "Journals." This album ended his bad year with extremely weak sales. All around, from critics to fans, people were extremely disappointed in the album. Bieber’s attempt at soft hip hop completely flopped.

In late February of 2015, Bieber’s vocals flooded back to the radio with the top hit “Where Are U Now,” musically produced by Diplo and Skrillex. As said by Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz, “The combination of Bieber’s moving falsetto and Skrillex and Diplo’s tangled knot of beats makes “Where Are U Now” a deserved (and much needed) triumph.”

With great momentum from “Where Are U Now”, Bieber came out strong with the singles “What Do You Mean,” “Sorry,” “I’ll Show You,” and “Love Yourself,” ultimately leading to his fourth studio album, "Purpose." The album is the fresh and more grown-up Bieber that fans and critics have been waiting for. With the release of the album, Bieber has created The Purpose Movement. The project is a compilation of music videos from the album's songs adding up to thirty minutes of video. These music videos have already gained much attention from the public and have sparked conversation about the controversial topics discussed in his songs, ranging from suicide prevention to children's rights. Bieber has most definitely grown up and shown the Beliebers that he is here to make a positive difference.

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.
