Some Songs I Love
Hannah Kesner

Music has always been an incredibly important part of my life. I love the power behind it, and the ability that music has to be there for you no matter what. I also love the way that certain lyrics or melodies can have so much meaning behind them. While I could go on for hours about songs that are important to me, here's a select few.

1. What Do I Know? by Ed Sheeran

If there's one song that sums up how I feel about music and the power of it, this is it. The song talks about how music can change the world, which I'm a firm believer in. It's a song about spreading love, which is what I always aim to do, and it inspires me to continue to do so.

2. Imagine by John Lennon

This song is one of my favorites of all time. I love the message the song conveys, about dreaming of a world where everyone is kind to each other and accepts each other. I'm someone who's extremely passionate about equality, and this song speaks to that.

3. Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine

Whenever I listen to this song, I get chills. The lyrics are so powerful, as it talks about living a life free of negativity and judgement. This song inspires and empowers me, not just through the lyrics but also through the victorious melody. It reminds me to go through life with no regrets, and to focus on all the experiences life can bring.

4. Uptight (Everything's Alright) by Stevie Wonder

This song radiates optimism, and never fails to make me smile no matter what the situation is. Sometimes at the end of a long day, you just need a song you can sing and dance to, and that's exactly what it is for me. The song purely just makes me happy and helps me to appreciate what I have. Plus, Stevie Wonder is just the best.

5. You've Got To Learn by Nina Simone

While I love Nina Simone's voice and the melody of the song, my favorite part of this song is the lyrics. For me, this song reminds me to power through difficult experiences and recognize all of the things I've dealt with and handled in my life. Anytime I'm feeling hopeless or like I'm not capable of something, this is the song I turn to.

Music is my outlet for everything. I struggle to explain my love for it, but hopefully the importance of these songs shows a little bit of how much music means to me.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
