20 Inspirational Things To Get You Through The Day
Wenchieh Yang

This summer had a rough start for me and I'm working on making it better. My sister showed me her book of positive sayings to help get her through the day and I loved it. I wanted to use my platform as a writer to let others know that it's okay not be okay. I now read a few of these sayings every morning just to help me focus on what is really important in my life. Every one of these sayings means something and it may just be the thing you've been waiting to hear.

1. Better an "oops" than a "what if"

2. Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground

3. Accept what you can't change, change what you can't accept

4. Tough times never last, but tough people do

5. When you think about quitting, think about why you started

6. Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done

7. Mistakes are proof that you are trying

8. Strive for progress not perfection

9. It's okay to be a glow stick. Sometimes we have to break before we shine

10. Yesterday you said tomorrow

11. Wake up with determination, sleep with satisfaction

12. A simple hello could lead to a million things

13. When life gets blurry adjust your focus

14. Life doesn't get easier, you just get stronger

15. If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough

16. No matter how you feel: Get up, dress up, show up and never give up

17. Look in the mirror, that's your competition

18. Nobody is perfect, not even you

19. Don't hope for it, work for it

20. Be who you are and be that well

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.

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.
