In This Article:

Music as a Gen Z teen was epic and brought us some songs that will be apart of our lives forever.

These 20 songs will really take you back to the good old days and have you jamming out for hours.

1. “Somebody That I Used to Know” - Gotye

I just know these lyrics are carved into everyone's minds.

2. “Wildest Dreams” -Taylor Swift

These. Lyrics. Still. Hit.

3. “Riptide” - Vance joy

Flashback to 2013 and this was the only thing the radio was playing...

4. “One Last Time” - Ariana Grande

I just know we've heard this song at least 500 times.

5. “Take Me to Church” - Hozier

This will be classic in the years to come.

6. “Latch” - Disclosure & Sam Smith

338 million hits, need I say more?

7. "You & I” - One Direction

Anything One Direction, ruled my teen years.

8. “This Is Gospel” - Panic! At The Disco

Brendon Urie's vocals. That's it, that's all that needs to be said.

9. “Happier” - Bastille & Marshmello

Anyone shed a tear over the puppy? Just me? Okay...

10. “Young and Beautiful” - Lana Del Rey

Just the voice of an angel, c'mon.

11. “We are Young” - fun. & Janelle Monáe

May have been my ringtone circa 2013-2016...

12. “Young Dumb & Broke” - Khalid

American Teen. The album that ruled 2016.

13. “Cigarette Daydreams” - Cage the Elephant

This song just plays on my mind in loop.

14. “Feeling Whitney” - Post Malone

Stoney > beerbongs & bentleys. I said what i said.

15. “Be Alright” - Dean Lewis

We all listened to this song and pretended we were in a sad coming-of-age movie while looking out the car window..

16. "Blonde" - Frank Ocean

There's very few albums I can listen to from start to finish but this is definitely the one that ruled the late 2010s.

17. “Pour It Up” - Rihanna

Rihanna, I know you're busy being a bada** businesswoman with Fenty Beauty & SAVAGE X FENTY, but when will you release more bangers?

- Love,

The World

18. “Losers” - The Weeknd

Beauty Behind The Madness > Starboy

19. "LEMONADE" - Beyonce

I am convinced the world was never the same since Beyonce dropped this one.

20. “Malibu” - Miley Cyrus

Just a beautiful tune.

Peace out teen years, onto the next decade of music to appreciate and rave about.

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.
