Money On My Mind, Sam Smith
Sam Smith is killing the game right now. This one is a must for when you’re headed to good ol’ Classroom Building North. Sam may feel differently, but money on my mind is the only thing getting me to graduation.     

Gotta Get Away, The Black Keys
Here is an equation you'll be able to use everyday (unlike half the equations I had to memorize for College Algebra): 1.) add yourself and friends to your car, 2.) subtract windows, and 3.) drive around town and vibe to this jam. You're product is coolness squared.

Sing, Ed Sheeran               
This one will be stuck in your head all day. You’ve been warned. That little Brit knows how to make music that sticks with you.

Work, Iggy Azalea
Who dat, who dat I-G-G-Y. Homegirl has some popular songs out right now, so don't sleep on this one. The ultimate Friday night anthem.

Shake It Off, Taylor Swift
T Swizzle does it again. Shake It Off is the perfect tune to turn up when you need to shake off all the haters (or the professor that assigned homework during syllabus week…we’ve all been there).

Wait on Me, Rixton
My jam right now! Wait on Me is the perfect song to listen to while getting ready for a night at The Tumbleweed.

Professor Leilah doesn't give tests or homework, just beats. Check back next week for more tunes.

There's a new DJ in town. Thursday nights at The Tumbleweed DJ StillWill is spinning the tracks and laying down the beats. Put on your party pants, go out there and bust a move!

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
