Throughout this pandemic over the last 6 months, I've had a ton of down time. Now that I'm back at school, I'm busier with school work but I still have a fair amount of down time. During that time, I've had the opportunity to listen to a ton of new music, and listen to a few of my favorites on repeat. I use music as a sort of therapeutic thing, it helps to calm me down and "center" me when I'm feeling stressed or anxious.

Here's some songs that have been on repeat for me.

CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3 by Jaden

Jaden Smith recently dropped his 4th studio album on Spotify last Friday, and I've been listening to it since. I've been a huge fan of him since he dropped SYRE back in 2017. This album is something totally different for him, and it has such a good vibe about it. All of the songs are more "mellow" and are relaxing as compared to some hardcore rap that appeared on SYRE. Some of my favorie songs on the album are: Circa 2015, Rainbow Bap, LUCY!, and Boys and Girls. Also bonus points for the album cover, it's so beautiful haha.

Euphoria Soundtrack by Labrinth

About 2 weeks ago I decided to watch Euphoria because I've seen so much hype about the show on TikTok, so I decided to watch it. The show was great, but I thought the music was even better. Labrinth really put his all into this album and it shows. All the songs are so different, but they all work together so well. My personal favorites are: Still Don't Know My Name, Nate Growing Up, Forever, All For Us, and Formula.

Harry Styles by Harry Styles

Harry Styles by Harry Styles is such a classic album to me. From the rock tones of Kiwi, Carolina, and Woman to the sad songs such as Sign of the Times, From the Dining Table, and Meet Me in the Hallway, Harry really delivered on his first solo album. It was a totally different tone of what he did in one direction, and this was just the beginning of his very successful solo career. My favorite on here has to be Woman, it's such an empowering anthem for anyone, and my go to shower song.

Swimming by Mac Miller

I was never a big Mac Miller fan until this album came out back in 2018. I feel like Swimming is one of the best rap albums to date, in my opinion. Every single song has such a nice flow to them, and each of them work together beautifully. This is a go to album when me and my friends are hanging out, especially if we're in my friends pool. My personal favorite songs are Ladders, 2009, Self Care, Hurt Feelings, and Small Worlds. Honorary mention of the song The Spins which is on his first album K.I.D.S as another favorite.

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.
