I have a secret to share. Whenever I feel as if I'm drowning in a whirlpool of never-ending papers and projects, I listen to some music to calm myself down.

Not just any music though.

No, not peaceful sounds of nature or soothing lullabies. Not classical study music or the crashing of ocean waves. You wanna know what music I listen to? I listen to the top throwback hits of the 2000's. Yes, you read that correctly.

Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed, I crank some Britney, jam to JT, and my personal favorite, lip sync to some classic Kanye.

Before you write off this genre of music as "stupid" or "pointless," I'll have you know that since starting this new de-stressing music therapy, I have yet to fail an accounting test or screw up a business analytics presentation so HA, PROOF IT DOES WORK.

If you're smart and bought into my theory, I'm here to help you by providing a list of the top 25 songs from the 2000's that you need to listen to right now. So without further ado...

1. "Gold Digger" by Kanye West ft Jamie Foxx

2. "Ignition-Remix" by R. Kelly

3. "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake ft Timbaland

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
