Seven songs that I've been listening to my first week back to college.

Here are the seven songs that I have been jamming out to since I've been back at school for a week.



1. Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

It is very new (just released on January 6) and it makes me want to dance. It has what might be a marimba that gives it a jazzy beat and the vocals are upbeat and catchy. It's a fun song and would make a great dance party song.


2. Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran

Also recently released, it is a nice chill out song that's about returning to your home after being gone for a long time. He's reminiscing about all the things that he did when he was younger and all the things he misses about the place where he grew up. I like it because it reminds me to remember where I come from no matter where I go.


3. Say You Won't Let Go- James Arthur

This song shows a developing relationship throughout the years from when they were young and when they are married and have kids and until they are "grey and old". It's a very sweet song and is quite beautiful.



4. Love Me Now-John Legend

This song to me is about taking chances because you don't know what is coming so you should make the most of what you have every day.


5. Dancing On My Own-Calum Scott

If you want all the feels check out this song. Its about giving it your best shot and still not being what someone else needs. Its about feeling rejected and alone because of feelings that are not reciprocated.


6. Mercy-Shawn Mendes

To me, this song is about being in love with someone even after it needs to end and asking them to "have mercy" on you and let you go. It's another feels song, so beware.



7. Scars To Your Beautiful- Alessia Clara

This is about the media effect on body image and is a great self love anthem. It's about how the way we talk about people's bodies and our own perceptions of our bodies need to change. That we don't need to change our bodies we need to change our minds.

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.
