I live off of Spotify. Whether I am listening to old songs and reminiscing on my childhood, or listening to the top hits, I am constantly using Spotify for music. One of my favorite uses of Spotify is creating different playlists for my variety of moods. One of my most diverse playlists is my 'Exploratory Bops' playlist. It consists of new (or old) songs from a plethora of artists.

Here are my top seven songs from my playlist! They definitely earned a spot on one of my other playlists.

10 Ethereal Songs That Everyone Should Listen To

10 Ethereal Songs That Everyone Should Listen To

1. What You Do To Me - John Legend

One of my most recent musical obsessions is John Legend. He always hooks me with his lyrics and the musicality in all of his songs is so incredibly beautiful.

2. Sit Still, Look Pretty - Daya (feat. R!OT)

I thought this was the most annoying song until one of my friends played this remix the other night. For some reason, I am oddly obsessed with this remix! It is such a fun party and workout song and the musicality in the remix is super dynamic.

3. How Far I'll Go; From 'Moana' - Alessia Cara

This song is my new jam with my best friend. Alessia has such a unique voice and the song just makes me feel really happy. Plus, it is from an adorable movie, so what's not to love?

4. Make Me (Cry) - Noah Cyrus, Labrinth

I did not know how I felt about this song when I first listened to it, but after a few listens, I fell in love with it. Noah has such a special voice and I think the song is great for being her first single. I have a feeling she will go far as a musician and I am thrilled to watch her journey.

5. Fake Love - Drake

If I'm being honest, I love listening to Drake because I love attempting to rap his songs. One of my best friends is amazing at rapping and Drake is one of her favorite artists. Her love for him has rubbed off on me, so I try to incorporate some of his songs into my playlists. Plus, his songs are great for parties!

6. All We Have Is Love - Sabrina Carpenter

Every time a new album comes out, I typically listen through and find a few of my favorite songs. I honestly do not understand how I skipped over this when listening to Sabrina's album, 'EVOLution.' I had the opportunity to see Sabrina in concert in early December and this was by far one of my favorite song that she performed. I absolutely love seeing artists perform songs live; it connects people to songs in such a unique and special way.

7. Rise Up - Andra Day

This song is on a commercial for a new TV show (I forgot the name of it), but as soon as I heard it, I was intrigued. I ended up googling some of the lyrics that I heard and easily found the song on Spotify. Andra's voice is so powerful and I love the message the song portrays.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.
