2016 is over! (thank goodness!!)

Let's recap all the bad things happened in this last year.

Donald Trump was elected President of the United States of America

The DEVASTATING Orlando massacre that occurred at Pulse Nightclub

The awful terrorist attacks in Nice (France), Istanbul, and Brussels (Belgium)

Hurricane Matthew

DISNEY Gator Attack

We lost amazing talent such as Prince, Alan Rickman, Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Nancy Reagan, Gene Wilder, Carrie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds

Harambe was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo

I think it's safe to say that most of us would like to leave 2016 behind us. However, 2016 was not all bad as it brought us some amazing music. 2016 was filled with songs about love, heartbreak, and living life.

Here's a list of my top 10 songs from 2016 accompanied by my favorite lyrics. These songs are the only part of 2016 I'd like to keep.


1. Closer - The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

2. Heathens - Twenty One Pilots

All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

3. Bad Things - Machine Gun Kelly & Camilla Cabello

I want you forever
Even when we're not together
Scars on body so I look at you whenever

4. This Is What You Came For - Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna

Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh

5. Needed Me - Rihanna

I was good on my own, that's the way it was, that's the way it was

6. Treat You Better - Shawn Mendes

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

7. Mercy - Shawn Mendes

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart

8. Cold Water - Major Lazer feat. Justin Bieber

Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own

9. Let Me Love You - DJ Snake feat. Justin Bieber

I used to believe
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful

10. Love Me Now - John Legend

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
