The Playlist You Need To Hear Right Now
Time Out

Music is a very important aspect in my life. It doesn't matter how old or new a song is, I can fall in love it over and over again. I love getting lost in the beat and the melody of songs. Creating harmonies of my own and just living in the moment with music is an amazing feeling. Music does't only help me relieve some stress I have but it gives me an escape of my own. If someone were to ask me what my "happy place" would be, it's either a concert or on a long stretch of road with this exact playlist. You'll see a lot of recurring artists and bands because I honestly couldn't just pick one song from them. I think its pretty safe to say you can tell who my favorites are.

Some of these songs are new, some of them are old. My music taste is pretty expansive, I really only have one requirement when it comes to a good song. It needs to be good... but that's a given, right?

I am known for randomly breaking out into song all the time. In kindergarten, I did it so much that my teacher actually told my parents "She'll be singing on Broadway someday". I'm now in college and that hasn't changed one bit. Music is one of the most powerful and influential things that a person can encounter. It has help me through some really hard times but it has also made me my happiest. A life without melodies and harmonies isn't really a life at all. So, on that note, here are my favorite songs. Be prepared to rock out, sing loud and dance like crazy.

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.

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.
