My 19th birthday came and went this past weekend, and I have to say, it was one of the best ones yet! I was able to spend time with friends and family, celebrate, and have a great day surrounded by loved ones! As the day went on, it got me thinking… what actually happens when you reach 19? You can get your license when you’re 16, buy R rated tickets when your 17, and become a legal adult at 18. But not much goes on when you hit age 19. To make up for this lack of “stuff,” I’ve decided to create 19 goals for myself during my year of being 19 years old.

1. Do a random act of kindness once a day

2. Spend more time with family

3. Create a tradition

4. Face a fear

5. Do something you can’t do when you’re in your 20’s

6. Clean my room every day

7. Write down as many good thoughts and memories as I can

8. Actually watch movies people recommend to me

9. Read a book a month

10. Dedicate more time towards friends

11. Get another tattoo

12. Try new food

13. Take breaks when breaks are needed

14. Pick a new favorite restaurant

15. Be more spontaneous

16. Take myself on a date

17. Be more active

18. Live every day to the fullest

19. Enjoy being 19, and hope that 20 doesn’t come too fast!I hope that by the time I reach 20, I'll be able to say that I have reached all of these goals and that I can start my next birthday with a whole new set of achievements!

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.
