It's that time of year folks — stress is at an all time high. It's finals season: the time to figure out what you're getting people for Christmas, and I know that my fellow retail employees are under massive pressure in more ways than one.
Considering all of this, I wanted to share with you all the songs I play when life gets stressful.

"I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it" by The 1975

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Like_It_When_You_Sleep,_for_You_Are_So_Beautiful_yet_So_Unaware_of_It

Personally this entire album is my go to when I'm stressed out. However this song in particular, which is the same title of the album, is my #1 to de-stress.
Another few songs on this album I recommend for relaxing purposes:
-"She Lays Down"
-"Paris"
-"Please be Naked"

"Night Trouble" by Petit Biscuit 

https://soundcloud.com/petitbiscuit/night-trouble

This song has all the vibes of a quiet night drive.

"Snow" by Matt Wright

https://mattwright.bandcamp.com/album/adams-son

Matt Wright has been a camp musician at the christian summer camps I went to in high school. His music is truly underrated and I think this song is one of my favorites of his. Go check him out!

"Holocene" by Bon Iver

Bon Iver's entire discography could be argued as what is good to listen to when you're stressed. His music style is typically slow and relaxing, but this is one song I usually like in particular

"O" by Coldplay

https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-Coldplay/dp/B00IQE4NUK

Definitely another great night drivey vibe type of song. Really really soothing.

"Slow It Down" by The Lumineers

http://www.ryanhadlock.com/the-lumineers-self-titled/

I think this is self explanatory as relaxing since the title is "Slow it Down," something I need to be reminded of a lot when i feel extra pressure! Slowing down and taking each task one at a time is always what works best.

"Woman" by The 1975

https://idobi.com/review/the-1975-self-titled-album-review/

I fall asleep to this album almost every night, this was their debut album and has some great unwinding kind of songs.

"Chamber of Reflection" by Mac Demarco

https://highschool.latimes.com/east-los-angeles-renaissance-academy/mac-demarco-salad-days/

A super chill and mellow song, a lot of his songs mock this vibe.

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.
