I felt like during the summer I kept listening to the same kind of music and never really branched out. When I was growing up, it was always country music playing in the car. A 20-minute trip to the grocery store - country music. A 6-hour car ride to Ohio - country music. And I honestly loved growing up on it. But when I started going to school it was just normal for people to make fun of you for listening to country music. But, to be honest, I love country music. I started listening to songs from when I was growing up and they just make me so happy, especially during this time of the pandemic. So I wanted to share a few of the ones that bring the biggest smile to my face!

She Wouldn't Be Gone by Blake Shelton

I don't know what it is, but something about screaming this song in the car with the windows down just really clears my head.

Holes In The Floor Of Heaven - Steve Wariner

This song is sad, but if you have a loved one that has passed away, this song actually brings so much peace.

Watching You - Rodney Atkins

I loved this song when I was 7 (I had a full dance to it that I choreographed myself) and I'm still obsessed with it (the song, not the dance).

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins

"You're Gonna Miss This" - Trace Adkinswww.youtube.com

I never really understood the meaning of this song when I was younger (ironic if you know the lyrics) but now whenever I hear it, it really does bring tears to my eyes.

Need You Now - Lady A

My sister and I used to scream this song in the car together like we have felt heartbreak before at 6 and 7. Definitely a good song though and I've always loved how well Lady A's voices blend together so nicely.

Wild At Heart - Gloriana

This song is just something else. I absolutely love it. Anytime it came on in the car I'd ask my mom or dad to turn it up. And now, I just do it myself.

Last Name - Carrie Underwood

And of course, to the woman that made me lose my concert virginity: Carrie Underwood. I distinctively remember watching the music video to this song on CMT Country Music Videos on tv and thinking "she's so cool." Well, she's still cool and I still wish I was her.

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.
