20 Songs Every March Madness Fan Needs To Hype Them Up

Although it hasn't been out for long, it's safe to say that this song will be a summer classic. Don't believe me? Just remember the last time Justin Bieber and Diplo (1/3 of Major Lazer) collaborated.

2. Snakehips - All My Friends (ft. Tinashe & Chance The Rapper)

A song that focuses on the negatives of the party lifestyle, but with an uptight beat that’ll still make you feel happy and relaxed.

3. D.R.A.M. - Broccoli (ft. Lil Yachty)

Both up-and-coming artists, D.R.A.M. and Lil Boat team up for this piano-heavy hit.

4. The Chainsmokers - Don't Let Me Down

The Chainsmokers are back with another summer hit after 2015’s Roses instantly became a classic. This time, they switched it up with a trap-heavy banger.

5. Desiigner - Panda

Everyone has a love/hate relationship with this song. You probably hear this song everyday, whether you choose to or not.

6. DJ Khaled - For Free (ft. Drake)

The first single from DJ Khaled's highly anticipated upcoming album, Major Key, the song quickly blew up towards the end of June as a "Summer anthem."

7. Chance The Rapper - No Problem (ft. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne)

Chance has been a popular name this year since releasing his third mixtape Coloring Book. Continuing to be an independent and label-less artist, this song is a response to labels trying to pressure him to sign.

8. Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For (ft. Rihanna)

Rihanna has been pretty busy this year by providing us with many gems from her recent album Anti as well as other features such as Famous by Kanye West. This happy-feeling house beat is sure to get you on your feet and feel yourself this summer.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
