The Ultimate Feel-Good Playlist

You know those days when you just feel down? When you need a safe, healthy pick me up in order to go on with your day? Or maybe you just want to smile more. Or maybe you want to have a dance party. Well, if any of these things apply to you, here's a pretty neat playlist that will absolutely brighten up your day. This is the ultimate feel-good playlist.

1. "Hallelujah" by Andy Grammer

This serves as a reminder to everyone that good things are out there and are on their way to you. Never give up your positivity and continue to look for the good in your life. Don’t give up on your dreams!

2. "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer

Andy tells us that sometimes things will be hard, but you have to remember to be positive and look at the bright side of things, because even though things will get you down sometimes, you can't let it get the best of you.

3. "Everybody" by Backstreet Boys

This one's all about loving yourself and being proud of who you are! And it's by the Backstreet Boys, so it's obviously the best thing ever.

4. "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift

Yet again, T-Swift serenades us by telling us not to worry about what people say. The only thing that matters is that you realize the great things about you.

5. "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins

This classic will get you moving and shaking, and it serves as a reminder to have some fun when things seem sucky.

6. "Happy" by Pharrell Williams

"Happy" is literally about being happy and forgetting all the bad things in the world for a while. Sometimes you just have to be happy and positive about things, because there's always something to be happy about, even if it's just this song.

7. "Why Not?" by Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff is my idol, as I'm sure she is for many of you, and in this hit, she's telling us to get out there and live! You only regret the chances you don’t take, so live life to its fullest and get out there, do your thing, take a crazy chance, and do a crazy dance!

8. "Downtown" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

"Downtown" is about rising to the top and is always a great song to rock out to. I always start dancing when I hear this one!

9. "Born this Way" by Lady Gaga

This serves as a great reminder that you are you and no one should have a problem with that. Give this song a listen, and get down with your bad self.

10. "Do You Believe In Magic" by The Lovin’ Spoonful

Finally, this last song reminds us that listening to some great tunes can be an instant mood booster! Music can work wonders for you and get a smile on your face. So, next time you're in a funk, try this playlist and jam it out!

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
