Have you ever just had one of those moments where you're scrolling through your music and all you seem to say is no, slowly growing more and more agitated?

Then, you decide to try and find something new to spice things up and BOOM! You find it, the song or artist, the diamond in the rough, and your life is renewed. Through this process, we go through the stages, I like to call, of Music Rejuvenation.

Stage 1: The Quest Begins

This is what we've kind of talked about already. You've decided enough is enough and you are bound and determined to find something new to listen to, no matter how long it takes. So, you may ask for suggestions from friends or family or look to see what's trending.

Stage 2: Garbage. This is all Garbage!

Disappointing song after disappointing song later, and you're beginning to get frustrated. You're ready to rip your hair off or resign yourself to your fate of listening to what you have if you don't find something to pique your interest soon.

You decide to try one more time before calling it quits and this is when it happens...

Stage 3: HALLELUJAH!

Finally, you find it! That song that lifts you up and really gets the blood pumping in your veins. Your hole of boredom has been filled and you seem to be walking on air. Nothing can bring you down.

Stage 4: Download It

Now you know you need it in your life and where it is easily accessible. So, you whip out your phone, mp3, iPod or other musical device and download it to your musical library where it will be cradled and loved.

Stage 5: REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT!

Time to turn up the speakers as loud as they can go and possibly lose some hearing, and you get your JAM on!


One time isn't enough, so the replay button is pressed and the chords fly through the air once more. Again and again and again and again...and again until you once again reach our last stage.

Stage 6: I Have Nothing To Listen To.

And now, since that golden nugget is nothing more than fools gold to you, you must begin to find something new to listen to...here we go again.

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.
