15 inspirational songs that offer life lessons for women of all ages

“Schoolin’ Life” by Beyoncé

Whether you are in your ’20s, ’30s, or older, there sometimes comes a time when you need a reminder of all the things that make our age special. And not only that, but it is important to remember that the years move fast and we are not getting any younger.

Thanks to Beyoncé, we all get the reminder of how the years go by and life moves on. And in “Schoolin’ Life,” it is all about getting older and growing up. No matter how old you are you can learn a new lesson, and also be reminded that at each stage of our lives there is something new to get us through the years.

As the song points out for those of us in our ’20s, “time really moves fast, you were just 16.” And time really does move fast, which is why there is the reminder that in our ’30s, “that didn’t turn out exactly how your mom and dad wanted you to be.” Honestly, even if we didn’t turn out like our parents expected, that doesn’t mean we failed or aren’t doing amazing things in our own right.

The lyrics for “Schoolin’ Life” are a fierce reminder that we can be anything we want, and it doesn’t matter how old we are or what our parents’ expectations for us were. And honestly, I think more people need to remember this. After all, we should be making ourselves happy, not everyone else.
