We Will Get Through This Together

The Post-Election Playlist Every American Needs Right Now

1. "Keep Holding On" Avril Lavigne

After such a divisive election, America cannot give up. We need to cooperate and unite as one. Now is not the time to abandon America. It's our time to stay here and fight for it.

2. "We Are the World" Michael Jackson

We are the people of this world and we can change it. If our divided nation can come together and spread the love, than we can make the world a better place. We can't rely on the President to reduce racism and bigotry, we need to make a stand for ourselves.

3. "Fight Song" Rachael Platten

These empowering and raw lyrics are what society needs to push through the barriers and keep fighting for what we believe in. Women and minorities are not defeated. We must stay encouraged no matter who robs us of our rights.

4. "Beautiful" Christina Aguilera

Trump's win expresses the extent of misogyny that evidently continues across America. Women should never doubt their worth, value, power, or opportunity to pursue their dreams. American's must remember that words cannot break us, rather they help empower us to make a change.

5. "Survivor" Destiny's Child

The next four years will bring forth the most intelligent and fiercest generation of women this world will ever see. Sure, we are shocked. But we are determined. We will make sure our rights are protected and no longer will we be silenced. While supremacists cannot stop us. We will move past this.

6. "Where is the Love?" – Black Eyed Peas

With gun violence, racism, war and poverty ravaging the world today, this song is as relevant as ever before. We need to bind the wounds of division and come together as one united country.

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.
