"Just the way you look tonight..."

If you know me, you probably know that I have a very broad music taste. I listen to everything from pop to alternative to show tunes. However, something that often shocks my friends is my taste for "oldies" music from legends such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Dean Martin.

Although they have a bad connotation and stereotype of being outdated and for grandparents, listening to older songs have seriously benefited me. My head always feels clearer and my day seems more manageable listening to the old swing tunes and beats. There are even updated versions of old songs sung by great modern artists such as Lady Gaga and Michael Buble. Give it a try! All of the songs listed below are my personal favorites and they are very near to my

heart. I was introduced to all of these songs from a very young age, and they continue to warm and brighten my day just as they did years ago.

1. "I've Got You Under My Skin" - Frank Sinatra (1956)

"Use your mentality, wake up to reality..."

2. "Mack The Knife" - Bobby Darin (1959)

"Now on the sidewalk, oh early morning..."


3. "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" - Tony Bennett ft. Michael Buble (2011)

"Missed the Saturday dance..."

4. "Sway" - Dean Martin (1954)

"When marimba rhythm starts to play..."

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.
