A Playlist Guaranteed To Help You Destress

PrimalMagazine

The school year is starting, whether you're ready or not. Nothing is worse than when that initial panic sets in when you start thinking about the homework, the practices, the rehearsals, the exams... School is a lot of work! And nothing helps more with getting work done than a kick-butt playlist. So I have created a list of my favorite upbeat songs that will get you through all of the research papers, all of the studying, and all of the stress.

1. Staring Down - Collective Soul

Just a downright cute song that would make anyone smile.

2. Carry On - Fun.

If you need a little inspiration when you're feeling especially overwhelmed.

3. After Midnight - Blink-182

Yes, happy punk songs do exist.

4. All For You - Sister Hazel

A little throwback that will make you want to get up and dance.

5. The Remedy - Jason Mraz

An under-appreciated song from a few years ago that always improves my mood.

6. Alone Together - Fall Out Boy

Because you knew I had to put in a FOB song.

7. Roll to Me - Del Amitri

Another throwback that makes me smile.

8. Still Into You - Paramore

...duh!

9. Run-Around - Blues Traveler

This song is one of my favorites for no particular reason. It's just a fun song.

10. Get the Girl Back - Hanson

I stumbled across this song at work and it always had me jamming as I was sweeping the floors.

11. You and I - Chris August

If this song doesn't make you happy, you don't have a soul.

12. Here (In Your Arms) - Hellogoodbye

Who doesn't remember belting this song out, even though you could understand very few of the words?

13. Howlin' For You - The Black Keys

This song is jazzy and catchy and perfect.

14. Five Minutes to Midnight - Boys Like Girls

I'll be the Cinderella in this song.

15. Young Chasers - Circa Waves

This alternative masterpiece will have you dancing as you study the whole year.

16. Float On - Modest Mouse

This song should be every stressed out student's anthem. One of my all time favorites, for sure.

17. Nine In the Afternoon - Panic! At the Disco

Even if you're not a Panic! fan, check out this adorable song.

18. Troublemaker - Weezer

I had to throw a rebellious song in here. This song will have you singing along, angsty or not.

19. Mad Season - Matchbox Twenty

I don't know anyone but my mom who knows this song, but it's smooth sound always has me singing along.

20. Mess Around - Cage the Elephant

This song's sass alone will make you smile. It's strong bass will have you jammin'.

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

StableDiffusion

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.
