Do you ever get that feeling when you hear a good song for the first time and instantly feel like the song is describing your life, instantly makes you want to dance, or reminds you of a specific memory? I feel that on a daily basis and it's super powerful.

Personally, I enjoy listening to rap and alternative music because they are on totally different spectrums, yet I can enjoy both of them equally. Rap helps me let loose of anything I'm worried about, while also bringing out the dancer in me when I go out or have random dance parties in my room. Alternative, on the other hand, is very soothing and mellow. I tend to listen to alternative music when I'm studying or when I'm in one of those sappy moods. There's no in-between when it comes to my music preferences.

Although music can help in many ways, I find it really crazy how one song can bring me back to a specific memory. When this happens I can remember the time, place and sometimes even the smell. It's freaky how powerful a song can be. Some songs can make you really happy or really sad all because of one specific memory.

If you look at Spotify for example, there seems to be a song out there for every mood you're encountering. It's relieving in a way to feel like you aren't the only one who's feeling a certain way because a specific song explains almost exactly how you're feeling. That's the beauty of music.

No matter how good or bad your day is, just remember you have some good ass music out there that can speak volume to you on so many levels way better than a person can most times.

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.
