10 Things I Want To Do Before I Graduate College
Cool Key West

When I was younger, everyone told me to enjoy "it" while it lasts because before I know it, "it" will be over. With the "it" being college, I could not understand how I could ever possibly miss going to school. Of course, at the time, I was a freshman in high school, so I still had eight years to go. However, here I am entering my junior year, trying to figure out how I've already completed half of my college career.

Every single year, time goes by faster and faster, and while I'm excited to graduate and move onto my life in the real world, I want to make sure I'm making the most out of the time I still have as a college student with, really, limited things holding me back. There are so many things I still want to do with my two years I have left in my life of being a student, so I told myself I'm going to make it a priority to accomplish these things in the next two years.

1. Travel to every state in the U.S.

2. Take a spontaneous road trip with my best friends.

3. Travel to Europe.

4. Go to Disney World.

5. Learn how to snowboard.

6. Hike a mountain.

7. Go skydiving.

8. Party in Vegas.

9. Visit the Bahamas.

10. Go to a music festival.

While I hope to do everything on this list, even if I only complete a select number of things, it will still be new, amazing experiences that I will have with me forever. I'm excited to look back after I graduate college and see how many things I actually did. You should give it a shot and make your own list — it's crazy to think how many things we still want to do with the little time left we have in college. Let's make it happen.

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.
