After a petition signed by over 100,000 people asked for the cancelation of Kanye's headlining show at the UK rock and roll festival, Glasonbury, the self proclaimed 'greatest living rock star' set out to prove them wrong. Following in Jay-Z's 2008 Glastonbury footsteps, Ye opened with unquestionable rock and roll crowd pleaser, Bohemian Rhapsody. One hundred something thousand people may have signed that petition but they sure didn't seem that bothered when they all flocked to the stage.

The best part about concerts is whatever is going on in the world you can see people from all over join together to enjoy the universal language that is music. Kanye used the rock classic as a segue into his song 'Can't Tell Me Nothing'. Not one person in the entire crowd not missing a beat, singing along with both songs showing the cross generational timelessness of music.

But it gets better. It's no secret that I love Kanye, not as much as Kanye loves Kanye, but still. I even loved him when he interrupted T-Swift's MTV acceptance speech because even though that was a d*ck move you got to admire his untouchable ego, that took guts. But as karma does, it came back around and Kanye got Kanye'd.

British comedian Lee Nelson thought Kanye could use a hand on stage but as the natural diva Kanye is, he had security tackle him off the stage and insisted on restarting the song. But nothing was more rock and roll than the fashion guru's acid wash destroyed denim outfit which probably cost more than a year of my college tuition. You got to hand it to him, he always dresses the part.

So remember, always be yourself. Unless you can be Kanye. Then be Kanye.

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.
