Have you ever walked around campus listening to a very catchy song and wondered what is the meaning behind the lyrics? Well, I have. Most songs are very clear about the message they want to send; however, we just do not pay much attention to it. We just get caught up with the melody and forget about the rest.

Some other times, the meaning behind the song lyrics is hidden in metaphors, analogies, or rhymes, and it becomes somewhat hard to decipher. For these couple of reasons, I have decided to write this list to tell you about some of my favorite empowering song lyrics, and their interpretation is up to you.

These songs speak about the reality that we are facing these days. They really make you reflect, accept, and think about the things that should be done to move forward with society. Also, they remind you of the importance of self-love, the uniqueness that each and every one of us has, and how we can contribute to the world to make a change.

If you ever feel down, just remember this list and listen to one of these songs; you will not be disappointed. Most of these songs are very popular, while others are still undervalued.

1. Chained to the Rhythm: Katy Perry

2. Where is the love: Black Eye Peas


3. Believer: Imagine Dragons


4. Born this way: Lady Gaga

5. Scars to your beautiful: Alessia Cara

6. Voice: Rev Theory

7. Seasons: The Veer Union

8. Fighter: Cristina Aguilera

9. Counting Stars: One Republic

10. Praying: Kesha

11. Man in the mirror: Michael Jackson

12. Don't stop me now: Queen

13. Home: MGK, X Ambassadors and Bebe Rexha

14. Logical Song: Roger Hodgson

Just remember that every word you listen has its own meaning, and it is up to you the way it will impact your interpretation. So...next time listen carefully!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.
