I have thought about it, long and hard, about what I want to do in 2018. To be frank, I haven’t a clue. I like to live life without plans and resolutions because they never really work for me. Not because they are not good because I don’t want them to work.

At this point of my life, I am not sure if new year resolution means anything to me. But I am going to start the second semester of junior year in college and I know I can’t just live life like I don’t care about anything. Because I do care, I want a future, a beautiful one. So, I guess writing this down for the whole internet to see is my way of committing to a new lifestyle.

Read at Least 10 Plays

I must admit that as a theater major, I really don’t know much about plays and playwrights. I know how theater productions works, but I haven’t really read many plays. I am eager to learn, but I do hate reading in English.

Exercise at Least Three Times a Week

I do wish I can exercise everyday but that is very unrealistic. I have never been a big fitness person, but doing exercise will help me in so many ways. I do believe that physical activities do not just benefit the body but also the mind, not to mention mental wellbeing.

Set a Weekly Plan and Follow It

I am a procrastinator. Setting a plan is good for me. I can manage my time, so I can easily finish everything I have in mind. Especially when I have a lot on my plate this semester. It will be so good for me. It definitely will be hard at first but when it all became a habit, it will be wonderful.

That is all I have in mind for 2018. Of course there are so many more specific things I want to do in 2018 but what I have above are things that I absolutely want to achieve.

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.
