A Quick Note On Local Music
Lauren Rainey

Most people care about the big name artist. They only listen to their music and attend their concerts. What most people don't know is that there are huge underground scenes, that most of the time has truly talented people.

Here in Peoria, which is where I go to school, there is an amazing local music scene that is unlike any I have seen. And maybe this is also because I never cared about local music until a couple of years ago, but these musicians are so talented. With the amount of support they get, it is hard to not know about the underground scene.

So, now you might ask, what can I do to get involved.

The answer is easy, support the local music in your area. This includes going to shows and listening to the music online. The shows are one of my favorite things because you get to listen to great music, normally in a small venue and you get to know the bands. Most of these people will never have huge widespread fame and any support that they can get makes all the difference.

In Peoria, there are so many house shows and shows at local bars that it is hard not to be involved.

So this is from me to you. Support your local music.

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.
