This month there was a tremendous amount of albums released. Many can make the argument that this month was the best month for music in awhile, certainly this year. With a variety of different artist releasing music; from Mac Miller to Bon Iver, September was a month to remember for music. With that being said here is the best music released in September:


Mac Miller, "The Divine Feminine"

Overall Grade: A+

Almost a year to the day since his 2015 studio album, GO:OD AM, Mac is back with a brand record titled, The Divine Feminine. The Divine Feminine is essentially a very concise album consisting of 10 tracks that all center around the consistent theme of love. Mac really opens up on The Divine Feminine by showing a more compassionate side and it easily his best work yet.


Isaiah Rashad, "The Sun's Tirade"

Isaiah Rashad, "The Sun's Tirade"

Overall Grade: A

Isaiah Rashad's debut studio album entitled, The Sun's Tirade, is a journey that is fueled by a cycle consisting of self-discovery and self-hatred. Rashad proudly wears his anxieties on his sleeves and is brutally honest and open throughout the duration of the album, a record charged by substance abuse and sorrowness. Although both the subjects and sounds are heavy throughout the album, Rashad effortlessly switches it up on slower jazz-based tracks like "Stuck in the Mud" and "Find a Topic" to more uptempo tracks like "Park", "Tity and Dolla", and the lead single "Free Lunch".


Travis Scott, "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight"

Overall grade: B+

Coming off his debut album, Rodeo in 2015, Travis Scott wasted no time with the release of his sophomore album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. Led by the hit single, "Pick Up The Phone" and a guest-heavy tracklist, Travis Scott amplifies his energetic lifestyle on each track, picking up where he left off on tracks like "Antidote".


Danny Brown, "Atrocity Exhibition"

Bon Iver, "22, A Million"

Regina Spektor, "Remember Us to Life"

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.
