Why a song like Hailee Steinfeld's 'Most Girls' is overdue
http://retagram.com/3nza7-475800669

I'm quite proud to be what is referred to as a 'girl's girl.' Some of my closest friends are the most unique, bad ass, girl bosses around. I have found each of them has different backgrounds, attitudes, and goals--but the one thing they all have in common is I've never heard them put down another girl or qualify themselves as 'being different'.

However, unfortunately, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve been out and overheard the phrase ‘most girls’ being used negatively, I’d have enough money to quit college and move to Marbella. This is why I feel a song like Hailee Steinfeld’s "Most Girls" is long overdue. The song spins a new angle on what it means to be ‘most girls’ and how ridiculous it is to attempt to categorize and negatively stereotype us as a gender. Using music, one of the strongest mediums to deliver a message, "Most Girls" delivers a message of positive unification of girl power that is seriously lacking in today's society.

Everyone has an opinion on how we should look, behave, and speak and they are not afraid to share it. It's bad enough that society influences our perception of ourselves, but what's worse is when the main force is driven by girls, toward girls. Why? We have no reason to judge and every reason to understand and learn from each other. Just like Hailee in her song, I am not embarrassed to aspire to be like most girls, the amazing, confident, girl bosses I have met. Instead of comparing ourselves and trying to compete, we should be embracing our individuality by having the confidence to support one another.

In the end, girls are freaking powerful and we are stronger together!

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.
