You did it! Exams are (finally!) coming to an end and it is finally the beginning of summer vacation. All your hard work throughout the semester has finally paid off and it is over! So whether you are a senior that is graduating, or having your first summer off as a freshman, here are some Bible verses that will uplift and encourage you for the summer ahead:

1. “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Some of us are graduating and entering the workforce and it can be worrisome. It is important to remember that the Lord is in control and He knows the plans he has in store for you!

2. “as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourself that summer is now near.” Luke 21:30 NIV

SUMMER!

3. “A happy heart makes the face cheerful…” Proverbs 15:13 NIV

It is an awesome feeling to be done with the stress of finals and our hearts are definitely cheerful for the coming season.

4. “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:32 NASB

This year of school may have been draining, but the Lord will renew our strength if we lean on Him.

5. “A happy heart makes the face cheerful…” Proverbs 15:13 NIV

It is an awesome feeling to be done with the stress of finals and our hearts are definitely cheerful for the coming season.

6. “Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.” Psalm 51:8 NASB

The semester may have been tough, but the Lord brought you through it.

7. “Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.” Psalm 32:11 NASB

This is one of my favorite verses and reminds us where our joy comes from!

8. “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

Give thanks to the Lord that finals are almost over!

9. “May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” Psalm 20:4 NIV

Keep your desires pure and do the Lord’s will and He will deliver!

10. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” Psalm 28:74 NIV

The Lord always remains strong as our source of strength and our shield, even when we may not feel our strongest.

11. “Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.” Psalm 95:2 NIV

Amen! We can be ever so thankful the Lord brought us through the semester!

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.

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.

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.
