Everyone has things that they hope to accomplish by the time their life is over. Having a long term set of goals can help you to stay on track and work towards the things that you hope to achieve. I have been able to come up with a list of goals that I hope to fulfill throughout the course of my life.

1. Being a role model for others

I hope that I can be a role model to at least one person in my life. Whether it is my child, a coworker, or friend, I want to be able to impact the lives of others by empowering them to be their best.

2. Having a successful career

Whether we want to admit it or not, working ends up being a large part of our life. I hope to make it more enjoyable by finding a job that I love and am great at. I hope to become a nurse one day and continue to strive for better in my career.

3. Having a family one day

A long time from now, I would like to be able to have a happy marriage and be able to be a mother. Family is very important to me, so I would like to have a little family of my own to nurture and take care of. I want to be able to give love to my husband and my children.

4. See more of the world

In my short almost 19 years of life, I have not been able to see much of the world. I have not even been out of the country. I want to be able to find away to explore more of what this world has to offer and step out of my own culture.

5. Be less fearful

I am someone who lives in constant fear of just about anything that is out of my comfort zone, so I would like to eventually be able to continuously try new things, even if it seems impossible.

6. Show kindness every day

I want to be able to let kindness guide my words and actions, even on days that it seems impossible to do so. I want to be able to make others happy and help them in any way that I possibly can.

7. Strive to learn new things

Finishing my undergraduate career will not be the end of my education. I want to be able to continue to go back to school as long as I can afford it. Even if I don't end up going back to school, I hope to learn new things just from new experiences in life.

8. Lead a happy life

I want to be irrevocably and unapologetically happy. Though some days will be hard and challenges will constantly be thrown my way, I hope to be able to overcome them and find happiness in the small things.

These are just a few of my never ending list of goals. As my life continues, I hope to accomplish these goals as well as add new ones to the list. I don't want to be fixed in these goals, but always striving to do more. I hope to be able to look back at the end of my life and see that I was able to do these things.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
