15 Reasons Why 2017 Is Going To Be Great

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited for 2017. It’s just so weird that we’re so close to 2020… I hate growing up. But here’s why I know 2017 will be bomb:


1. Another year of living means another year to finally get your crap together.

(even though we say we’re going to and we end up failing… THAT’S OKAY!)


2. Another semester to try harder and do your best.

(We can do this.)


3. Another opportunity to spread love to people you know and don’t know.

Giving a smile on the street or around campus is not hard. Love everyone, PLEASE!


4. Another chance to get back into shape

(hello… shout out to the gyms with their specials during the New Year)


5. You are another step closer to graduating.

Hello, I’m talking to you freshman-juniors, and sophomores, everyone forgets about sophomores


6. OR YOU ARE GRADUATING THIS YEAR!

CONGRATS SENIORS!


7. Maybe, in 2017, you and your significant other are going to hit ANOTHER (or first) anniversary!

Look at that, love is in the air people.


8. You might even find love in 2017.

There are things to look forward to, come on now


9. The movies coming out in 2017 are BOMB AF! LIKE, let’s be real here. Incredibles 2!! LET’S GO


10. You get another year to show your family you love them

Because nothing in this world is more important than family


11. You have another year to get more involved at school or in your family or at work

You realize that there is no such thing as “too late” I just simply don’t believe that at all. If you want something, get it. Please.


12. New opportunities to make new friends

Let’s make it a point to stay OPEN MINDED this year. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your BFF this year.


13. Another year to spend time cherishing and taking care of the friendships you already have

s/o to my friends because idk what life would be like without you all.


14. Another year with coffee

I don’t know what else to say but THANK YOU GOD because this is what gets me through college (am I right?)


15. Another to set goals and obtain them

If you weren’t good with resolutions in the past, make 2017 the year you set PRACTICAL resolutions; one’s that you want to keep and you will enjoy keeping.

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.
