Let's Talk About 'SOUR'

Olivia Rodrigo just released her debut album 'Sour' on May 21st and it is safe to say that as of its release it is a huge hit. If you have been anywhere on the internet since then I am sure you have heard at least something about this. The eighteen-year-old singer-songwriter put together eleven songs that are just purely amazing. This album no doubt is based around a breakup, however, it feels like much more than that. These songs are able to relate to people on so many different levels.

I have been listening to this album nonstop since it came out. Whenever I am driving in the car it is on, when I am listening to music to get work done it's on. Each day I listen to it, I find myself having a new favorite song. Depending on my mood it could be 'jealousy, jealousy' or it could be 'favorite crime' but all the songs are amazing. I have never met a true "no skip album" until now. You can also feel the inspirations for the different songs. Like how 'good 4 u' has major Paramore 'Misery Business' vibes and, '1 step forward, 3 steps back' feels very new Taylor Swift. It also happens that Swift co-wrote that song with Rodrigo.

'Driver's license' and 'deja vu' came out a bit before the album was released and the internet already lost their minds over them, and yes, they are still amazing songs but they are not my top two on the album. I would say 'good 4 u,' 'enough for you,' and 'favorite crime' are my top three. When I listen to 'good 4 u' I just cannot help but scream it at the top of my lungs. Then when it comes to 'enough for you' and 'favorite crime' the lyrics that Rodrigo wrote just hit a little too close to home yet the songs are so beautiful that it is okay that I am sad listening to them. The song 'brutal' is first on the album and starts the album off with a bang! Olivia starts her album out with almost an upbeat rock feel that I jam out to very often. The second song on the album 'traitor' stands out as well, once again another beautifully written song that is so gutwrenching yet gorgeous when you listen to it.

It's really hard to say anything negative about this album, I usually wouldn't love having an album filled with 'hope ur ok' and 'happier' but, Rodrigo makes it work. The songwriting is so great and the songs are just so relatable to so many different situations.

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.
