Hello there fellow college students. By this point, finals are coming to an end which means the school-year is coming to an end altogether. While it is a relief that late night studying and early morning projects are over, it is also time to leave your best friends and return home. Sure, summer is great, but it also gives you a lot of time to just hang around and think. If you're anything like me, you may think about your life and your future, and wonder if you are doing enough to get where you want to go. So, here is a list of quotes that I think every college student needs to hear right about now:

1. "You can do anything but not everything" -David Allen

2. "No one looks stupid when they're having fun" -Amy Poehler

3. "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for" -William Shedd

4. "Always believe something wonderful is about to happen"

5. "Not till we are lost do we begin to find ourselves" Henry David Thoreau

6. "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" -Voltaire

7. "Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

8. "Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity" -Danny Gokey

9. "Say yes and you'll figure it out after" -Tina Fey

10. "Dwell in possibility" -Emily Dickinson

11. "She believed she could, so she did"

12. "When nothing is sure everything is possible" -Margaret Drabble

13. "I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way" -Carl Sandberg

14. "You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream" -C.S. Lewis

15. "To a great mind, nothing is little" -Sherlock Holmes

16. "Dreams and actions must be woven together"

17. "Actually, I can."

18. "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." -Arthur Ashe

19. "You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but do not give up."

20. "I would always rather be happy than dignified" -Charlotte Bronte

So, college students, use these quotes as motivation and reassurance. You are worthy and wonderful and it is important to remember that. Never give up and most importantly, never lose sight of your dreams.

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.

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.
