Moving. There is no doubt about it its hard and stressful, but that doesn’t mean it has to always be that way. Take it from someone who has lived in four different states, moving can always be an adventure, the adventure all just depends how you make it and how you take the stress and make it more productive.

1. Don’t keep things you don’t’ need:

They just add to the amount of boxes you then have to unpack.

2. Do make sure you have your memories:

Whether these are yearbooks, stuffed animals, or shirts make sure you keep them you may not remember the people that go with them but you will remember the places.

3. Do change your room every time you move:

New place, new room. No house and city is ever the same and neither should your room so have fun with it.

4. Don’t be afraid of the first day:

First day of school at a new school is always hard but the nice thing is you will always make new friends.

5. Do go and explore:

Each city has something different to explore if you don’t go see it there is no way you can discover how awesome that city can be.

6. Don’t get stressed over the move:

Yes, moving is hard; but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the adventuring that goes with it. Don’t worry about making new friends or liking the new school just enjoy the adventures of moving.

7. Do enjoy all the time you have in each city:

Whether it is for six months or six years enjoy it; make friends, join things and go see so many things.

8. Don’t get stuck in a rut:

Don’t be stuck thinking hey my life sucks, think life is great I get to experience new things and new people how awesome is that.

9. Do help your parents:

Not only is moving stressful hard for you but it is also really hard for them so try to help them as much as possible, it will make the whole thing go a lot smoother.

10. Do take a lot of pictures:

Those are the one things you will always have when distance is in between you and your friends.


11. Do always stay true to yourself:

If you are always yourself you will find better friends and you will just be a whole lot happier.

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.

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.
