While you are reading this, this is gonna be quite the throwback article; however, when I was thinking of an article idea, Hilary Duff came to mind.

Lately, people have been reflecting back on 2016, and whether it was good, or bad, the worst, or best year, 2017 is a new beginning. Growing up, Hilary Duff was iconic. She was who I looked to when I was a teenager. I loved her in Lizzie McGuire and all the movies she was in. And then she created music. Could life have gotten any better?

So, here I have created a list of where there are 11 times that Hilary Duff's song lyrics made us think about life a little bit deeper.

1. "If it's over, let it go"- So Yesterday

Wow, what a fitting time when we are 10 days into 2017. Let it go, folks- whatever it is.

2. "And going out is better
Then always staying in."- Come Clean

Go live life! Bowl, go to the movies, or even to a basketball game. And go with people who you wanna do life with.

3. "Hey, hey- I'm not giving up, no."- Workin' It Out

When you feel like giving up, don't. Keep fighting, keep going.

4. "Time is beginning."-Anywhere But Here

Every day is a new beginning. Make time for friends, loved ones, and those who lift you up.

5. "But I don't need the stress."- The Math

Don't stress about the little things, y'all. Stress is something that keeps you from being truly happy.

6. "Love just is... you and me."- Love Just Is

Love isn't complicated or does it have to be about someone else in the equation. It's between two people who are just in love- "whatever that may be" (Hilary Duff,) or what that looks like.

7. "Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become."-Metamorphosis

This one is about changing and becoming and I know we all have had a moment where we think about who we are, or what career we should go in, or what major we should declare, or even which path we should go on. Don't worry, y'all, you'll become that butterfly also.

8. "Find a dream you can follow."- Fly

Find it y'all and go fully towards it.

9. "And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong."- Someone's Watching Over Me

It may have been a hard year for some, or you are going through a tough time now. But take this lyric and heart from Hilary Duff and just stay strong. I know that may be hard, but know that you're not alone in this.

10. "There's something going on anywhere I go." -Wake Up

Life happens. It's happening right now. So wherever you go, or what ever you are doing and whom ever you are doing life with, life's happening. Make it great.

11. "Why not, take a crazy chance."- Why Not

The most well known song by Hilary Duff back then. Do it people. With 355 more chances this year for opportunities and chances, why not?

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.
