A Song For Every Occasion

"Music is the poetry of the air" - Jean Paul Richter

A Song For Every Occasion

There’s a time and place for everything, including music. So, whether you’re getting ready for a night out, looking to get the party started, or having a low-key night I can guarantee that there is AT LEAST one song to fit the moment.

Without further adieu, I present to you some of my favorite songs, organized into playlists (disclaimer: many of these songs contain explicit content):


The Chillin’-Out-Maxin-Relaxin’-Acting-All-Cool Playlist:

Just because you aren’t doing anything particularly exciting doesn't mean that the night has to be boring. This playlist will surely help you make the most of the night!

"Overflow" - Ghost Loft

"So High" - Ghost Loft

"Your Body Is A Wonderland" - John Mayer

(Or really any John Mayer song.)

"All The Pretty Girls" - Kaleo

"Wait For Me" - Kings Of Leon

Because there’s nothing more relaxing than some KoL.

"Sexual Healing" - Marvin Gaye (Kygo Remix)

Like John Mayer, you could replace this with any Kygo song. Personally, I think "Sexual Healing" is one of his best.

"Coffee" - Miguel

Also, be sure to check out Wale’s edit of “Coffee.”

"Faded" - ZHU (ODESZA Remix)

"From Afar" - Vance Joy

"Wicked Games" - The Weeknd

The Weeknd is always a must.


The Let’s-Go-GNO Playlist:

But don’t worry this playlist isn’t exclusive to GNO’s!

"C O O L" - Le Youth (DJ Sliink Remix)

Sometimes my friends and I play this song on repeat!

"Jordan Belfort" - Wes Walker & Dyl

Self-explanatory.

"Roses" - The Chainsmokers ft. ROZES

"Magnets" - Disclosure ft. Lorde

"Tennis Court" - Lorde (Flume Remix)

BONUS: "Where Ya At" - Future ft. Drake

So you can send those who are running late some nice Snapchat videos.


The Don’t-Stop-The-Party Playlist:

This is a necessary pump-up playlist, especially for college students. If you weren’t feeling it before, you’re definitely feeling it now.

"Don't Stop The Madness" - Hardwell & W&W ft. Fatman Scoop

"Take Ü There" - Jack Ü ft. Kiesza

"Beautiful Now" - Zedd ft. Jon Bellion

"Freak" - Steve Aoki, Diplo & Deorro

"Dirty Vibe" - Skrillex, Diplo, CL & G-Dragon

The second this song comes on my heart starts beating faster.

"Rattle" - Bingo Players

During freshman year, my friends and I always made sure this was the the last song we played before we went out.

"Reload" - Sebastian Ingrosso, Tommy Trash & John Martin

The We’re-All-In-The-Mood-For-A-Melody Playlist:

This is perfect for when you and your friends are ready to sing (read: obnoxiously scream) along to some classic songs.

"Piano Man" - Billy Joel

I think I can sing this song backwards.

"Lose Yourself" - Eminem

We all have at least one friend who knows every single word to this classic.

"679" - Fetty Wap ft. Remy Boyz

"Wannabe" - Spice Girls

Especially good for a girls night out.

"Hotline Bling" - Drake

If you speak English, chances are you know every single word.

"Sweet Caroline" - Neil Diamond

"American Pie" - Don McLean

It may be long, but it’s worth listening to the entire song.

"Come On Eileen" - Dexy's Midnight Runners

'Beautiful Soul" - Jesse McCartney

I don’t care where I am, if this song comes on I will start singing.

"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers


The Evacuate-The-Dance-Floor-Because-I-Need-More-Space-To-Dance Playlist:

I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it…(sorry!)

'I Like Tuh" - Carnage ft. I LOVE MAKONNEN

My friends can vouch for me how much I love this song.

"Hit The Quan" - iHeart Memphis

Perfect for those who heart Memphis, but also love dancing.

"Sorry" - Justin Bieber

Sorry, I had to...

"DJ Turn It Up" - Yellow Claw

"All Night Longer" - Sammy Adams


The Aux-Cord-Worthy-Midnight-Drive Playlist:

Because sometimes all you need is to drive around with your best friend and blast some music.

"Sail" - AWOLNATION

"Sex on Fire" - Kings of Leon

"Snow (Hey Oh)" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hey oh, play this song again, oh…

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5

"Oops!... I Did It Again" - Britney Spears

You can never go wrong with Britney.

"Jesus Take The Wheel" - Carrie Underwood

"Right Hand" - Drake

"Budapest" - George Ezra

"Foreigner's God" - Hozier

This song is perfect when played at maximum volume.

"Rack City" - Tyga


I hope you enjoyed the playlists! And “Please don’t stop the, please don’t stop the, please don’t stop the music.” (I hope you read that like Rihanna sings it.)

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.
