Your Spring Soundtrack

It has finally happened. Spring has finally come. College campuses that once seemed barren are now flooded with people who have come out hibernation. The sun is out, flowers are blooming, the grass is green. The only thing missing is an awesome playlist to bring in the new season. Fear not. Your cry has reached my ears and I am hear to deliver to you a playlist of 20 songs guaranteed to get your hands clapping and your hips swaying.


1. Follow Me- Uncle Kracker

You're right Uncle Kracker, we won't find anyone else like you.

2. Send Me On My Way- Rusted Root

Adventuring soundtrack? I think yes...

3. Love and Memories- O. A. R.

For some reason, warm weather always brings out my pop-punk side. Embrace it.

4. House of Gold- Twenty-One Pilots

Because what says "spring" better than ukuleles? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

5. Pumping Blood- NONONO

Thank you for the anatomy lesson and the awesome song.

6. New Shoes- Paolo Nutini

The snow is gone, the flowers are out, the birds are singing. It is time to take them new kicks out and show the world what you're made of.

7. Take On Me- a-ha

The perfect song to get you PUMPED while you're spring cleaning or working out.

8. Rock and Roll- Eric Hutchinson

It is actually impossible to not clap along with this song.

9. Classic- MKTO

No MKTO, YOU'RE classic. As is this song.

10. Someone New- Hozier

Hozier, you melt my soul. Your songs are perfection and I would put them all on this list. But especially this on because it's my fave.

11. Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)- Stevie Wonder

Try not to sing along. I dare you... you won't be able to.

12. Everybody Talks- Neon Trees

Perfect song for your spring dance party. Pretty much any dance party. Just have a dance party. #justdoit

13. (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To-Weezer

Upbeat pop punk love songs—need I say more?

14. I Melt With You- Modern English

How could you NOT love this song? I mean, read those lyrics!

15. Africa- Toto

I feel no need to justify my decision with this song. This song is love. This song is life.

16. Stutter- Marianas Trench

I have no clue how this band hasn't become more popular. They are by far one of my favorite bands and everyone needs to just love them. Okay?

17. Ophelia- The Lumineers

I am currently obsessed with this song, so of course it made it on this list. Its so good and so catchy!

18. (Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay- Otis Redding

Another classic. Perfect for any and all occasions. Otis, you have my heart.

19. Hold On- Rivvrs

This song is perfect in every way. Even the whistling, which is a huge compliment from someone who hates whistling. This song is sure to get you dancing.

20. Come Sail Away- Styx

Warm weather=Boating weather. Boating=Good tunes. Good tunes= Styx. Always

AI music threatens creativity

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.
