Does music help you study? Many people like to listen to music while studying. As the new semester quickly approaches, I've decided to share my top 20 study songs. As someone who finds it difficult to stay focused while studying, I typically don't listen to music. However, I almost always listen to music while creating a study guide. The background music cancels out the other distractions and keeps me focused. These songs may not work for everyone but I have had success with them. I've found that slower acoustic songs have worked best for me. The beat and rhythm of these songs definitely play a huge role in keeping me focused. These are not in any particular order.

1. "Dream" by Priscilla Ahn

2. "The Girl" by City and Colour

3. "Still" by Matt Nathanson

4. "All We Are" by Matt Nathanson

5. "Never Let Me Go" by Florence + The Machine

6. "Young Forever/Halo" by Beyonce and Jay-Z

7. "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson

8. "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson

9. "Be Ok" by Ingrid Michaelson

10. "Fire and the Flood" by Vance Joy

11. "Scars" by James Bay

12. "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran featuring Beyonce

13. "Distance" by Christina Perri featuring Jason Mraz

14. "Bruises" by Train featuring Ashley Monroe

15. "Riptide" by Vance Joy

16. "Budapest" by George Ezra

17. "Willow" by Jasmine Thompson

18. "Boys Like You" by Anna Clendening

19. "Good Good Father" by Zealand

20. "Jolene" Miley Cyrus

Sometimes studying can be difficult, especially when you're really not feeling it and you would rather binge-watch a show on Netflix. Hopefully these songs will get you through those late nights spent at the library.

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.
