Songs To Listen To When You Just Aren't Sad Enough

I cannot be the only one that could already be down in the dumps but then also will feel the need to throw on some sort of sad playlist. Whether it's over a stressful amount of class work or a serious break up, we like to put certain kinds of music on and really get in our feels. Hearing lyrics about lost loves and feeling absolutely alone and broken really adds to the experience, I guess. My apple music search history is full of 'sad playlist,' 'crying playlist,' and 'heartbreak songs,' searches. There is something about feeling my heart clench as I hear lyrics that I may or may not even relate to.

I'm unsure of why we like to make ourselves feel worse, but it might unintentionally be our minds and hearts showing us we are not the only ones feeling the way we are at that current moment.

Here is a list of 20 songs to keep in your back pocket for times you just don’t feel sad enough.

1. Falling - Harry Styles

2. Moral of the Story - Ashe

3. Happiest Year - Jaymes Young

4. Heather - Conan Gray

5. Cardigan - Taylor Swift

6. I miss you, I'm sorry - Gracie Abrams

7. exile - Taylor Swift (ft. Bon Iver)

8. Cigarette Daydreams - Cage the Elephant

9. Million Reasons - Lady Gaga

10. my tears ricochet - Taylor Swift

11. if i were u - Blackbear & Lauv

12. if this is the last time - LANY

13. Sign of the Times - Harry Styles

14. Walls - Louis Tomlinson

15. you broke me first - Tate McRae

16. Friend - Gracie Abrams

17. Someone Else - Duncan Laurence

18. feel something - Bea Miller

19. midnight love - Girl in Red

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.
