Life Advice Through Meghan Trainor
bostoncommon-magazine.com

There are so many current artists that we listen to daily, some who are inspiring, others who just have catchy song lyrics. Meghan Trainor is one of those artists that has a little of both. Her songs are super catchy and you can't help but sing along; however, if you pay attention to some of her songs, there is great life advice to pay attention to as well. Below are a few songs I have heard that caught my attention in a positive way.

Song: "Dear Future Husband"

Quote: "You gotta know how to treat me like a lady." Do not settle for any boyfriend, fiance, husband, or friend treating you like anything less. You are special, you deserve someone who will treat you right.

Song: "All About That Bass"

Quote: "Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top." We have all struggled with body image sometime in our lives. Sometimes you need a little reminder that you are perfect from the bottom to the top. Life is too short to dwell on what other people think of you.

Song: "Like I'm Gonna Lose You"

Quote: "I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye, wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted, 'cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time." I think this song really speaks for itself. Don't take anything for granted; you never know how long you are going to have with someone until they are gone.

Song: "No Good For You"

Quote: "Won't you take it from a friend, that boy is not a gentleman, and you'll find out soon enough, what you're feeling it ain't love, 'cause he called me yesterday, and he asked me on a date, tried to play you like a fool, and that's why I'm calling you." Let's be honest; how many times have you tried to stop your best friend from getting hurt? These lyrics couldn't be more true. As hard as it is to hear, that boy in your life isn't your forever guy if he's cheating on you or treating you badly. Your best friend should be your bestie for life; she's got your back and she's only looking out for what is best, and that boy is "no good for you."

Song: "Close Your Eyes"

Quote: "Everybody's born to be different, that's the one thing that makes us the same, so don't you let their words try to change you, don't let them make you, into something you ain't... No!" Every bit of this is true. We weren't meant to be the same. Everyone has their own special talent in life, so don't waste your time trying to be someone you're not. Focus on yourself and be the best version of you that you can be.

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.
