A Perfect 25-Song Playlist For A Rainy Day
(un petit tour)

PSA: Northern California is currently being attacked by a constant wave of never-ending rain, drizzle, mist, and “woah…when did that happen” downpours (in that order). Bike seats are spreading a viral disease around called the “wet butt.” The three minutes it usually takes to get to your afternoon class instantly turned into a 10-minute trek dodging puddles and dodging people in those puddles while you are scared your PSET’s might get soaked.

There’s a high chance that if you are reading this, it’s raining outside. Don’t fret. I have drafted and curated a playlist to perfectly match the mood outside. This is also applicable to those moments after a significant breakup, those hours during an exhausting road trip, those timeless seconds sitting around with closest friends after prom, and whenever you need to mimic the clouds and cry it out.

These 25 Songs are for you.


If the Spotify playlist isn't working for you, feel free to follow this list:

1. Cat Power - Sea of Love

2. Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un M'a Dit


3. Bon Iver - For Emma


4. Coldplay - The Scientist


5. Haley Reinhart - Can't Help Falling in Love

Also, watch this commercial with this song. It will make your day.


6. The Head and the Heart - Winter Song


7. Jack Johnson - Better Together


8. James Blake - A Case of You


9. John Mayer - Free Fallin'


10. The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You


11. The Shins - New Slang


12. The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight


13. George Ezra - Barcelona


14. Jose Gonzales - Heartbeats


15. Vampire Weekend - Hannah Hunt


16. Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life


17. Ed Sheeran - Photograph


18. Regina Spektor - Laughing With


19. The Decemberists - Grace Cathedral Hill


20. Whitley - I Remember

My personal favorite song. Please listen.


21. Band Of Horses - St. Augustine


22. Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am


23. City and Colour - The Girl

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.

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.
