In This Article:

As someone who has been around and played classical music since I was twelve years old, I've explored a lot of different pieces and composers. Along the way, I have also met lots of people who've introduced me to magnificent works of art. I usually play music when I'm studying, painting, drawing, or even reading. But these songs I reserve for my best pair of immersive headphones and time to delve deep into the enveloping sounds of these classical pieces. Not all of them are relaxing, quite the opposite actually. In my opinion, they are great works and elegantly paint the rhythm of sound on the human ear.

1. Felix Mendleson: Violin Concerto E. Minor No. 64

2. Joe Hisaishi - Song of Laputa: Castle in the Sky

3. George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

4. Johann Strauss II - Die Fledermaus: Overture

5. Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90: III. Poco allegro

6. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto in C Minor Op. 18 2nd Movement, Adagio sostenuto

7. Frédéric Chopin - Etude Op. 25 No. 11 in A Minor

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.

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.
