A Playlist That Will Make Any Girl Feel Independent And Empowered

I'm not trying to sound like a Playtex commercial, but, let's face it, every girl needs something that makes them feel unstoppable. Music is my key outlet. Whenever I feel frustrated, stressed, or even like the world is slowly killing my positive outlook, I put my headphones in and zone out.

Here are twelve of my favorite "girl power" songs.

1. "Girl on Fire" By Alicia Keys

It's such a typical "girl" song, but I have yet to feel anything other than capable while listening to it. It's a perfect song to kick off your dreams and give you confidence while doing so.

2. "Unbreakable Smile" By Tori Kelly

Yes, the world is quite a crappy place. In order to survive, you must keep an unbreakable smile towards anything that comes up as a block in the road. Remember, "the way you live your life depends on you." (Tori Kelly)

3. "Fighter" By Christina Aguilera

This is the perfect song to remember how strong you are in sticky situations.

4. "Bulletproof" By La Roux

While it's similar to "Fighter," "Bulletproof" is more of a silly way to let that guy who did you wrong know how much you do not need him in your life.

5. "Put Your Records On" By Corinne Bailey Rae

I love this song because it's a reminder to let loose. Take that sloppy bun down, dance around the kitchen, and then soak in the bubble bath. You deserve it!

6. "Unwritten" By Natasha Bedingfield

For all the girls out there with goals and dreams that you can't see, this song is for you. I am certainly one of them.

7. "Dear No One" By Tori Kelly

Don't stress about finding "Mr. Right," he will pop up sooner than you think. Until then, enjoy the single life and learn to love yourself more.

8. "Many the Miles" By Sara Bareilles

Get off your butt and see the world! Life is short.

9. "Domino" By Jessie J

I can only speak for myself, but this song has yet to fail in making me feel energetic and spunky.

10. "Knocks You Down" By Keri Hilson

Sometimes life gives us interesting roadblocks that force us to take major detours in life. Remember that detours are meant to keep us safe. Do not let them knock you down mentally. Keep it up, girl.

11. "Ain't it Fun" By Paramore

Growing up is a part of life, along with learning how to survive on the bottom of the food chain.

12. "So Good" By B.o.B

This song has always motivated me to be ambitious about my goals, but to also enjoy the journey while doing so. The destination is important, but the journey is when you discover who you really are.

Hopefully this playlist will help to motivate you and make you feel confident in yourself and your dreams.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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

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.
