It Be Like That Sometimes (but with music)

I've always viewed music as universal; it doesn't matter what language the lyrics are in, the message and tone of a song will always be relatable.

It Be Like That Sometimes (but with music)

Hey everyone! At this very moment, there's a lot going on in my life; from school to my internship and future applications to life in general. I've noticed that there have been times where I just get in a mood. During these times, I find myself turning to music more than ever. I believe that there's a song, and therefore a playlist, for every mood you could possibly have. This article highlights some of my favorites from these past few weeks from when I've needed to be reminded that everything will be okay.

1. Wave – Alex France

Just like the title says, it's all about trying to keep your head afloat. This song represents pushing through; the lyrics focus on keeping your head up through rough waters and waves, with the help of others. It's important to understand that we do have others to help us when we need to, to be excited and down with us when the situation calls for it.

2. Keep My Head Afloat – Jeremy Zucker

Just like the title says, it's all about trying to keep your head afloat. This song represents pushing through; the lyrics focus on keeping your head up through rough waters and waves, with the help of others. It's important to understand that we do have others to help us when we need to, to be excited and down with us when the situation calls for it.

3.The Human Condition – Chelsea Cutler

I think the title of the song speaks for itself.

4.talk is overrated (stripped.) – Jeremy Zucker

There are always going to be times when you simply don't feel like talking. You truly feel like talking becomes overrated because no words can help a situation. For me, I really click with the lyrics that say to just vibe. Sometimes things just take time to work themselves out, for better or for worse, and to move on from them.

5.Freedom – Mélusine, CHEF

This last song has a completely different vibe. Mélusine was introduced to me by my boyfriend, reminds me of him and his support. But, the song itself speaks of freedom (obviously). I take it as freedom to do what makes your heart happy, freedom to be passionate about whatever you please. With plant-related metaphors, it's all about growing through situations in order to find your place in life and what makes you happy.

These songs are just a few of my preferences, of course. Everything I've just written is my own opinion and they don't just apply to relationships + those kinds of issues. Most of the music I listen to is on the chiller side of things, but when a situation calls for it sometimes you need to branch out. Music provides people with an escape from their everyday lives and situations and these are just some of the songs that I listen to. Just wanted to share where my heart has been. Hope you like :)

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
