22 SHA Girl Things

A small catholic, all girls, catholic high school on long island might not seem like much to some, but for those who called Sacred Heart Academy home for 4 years it means the world. The bonds we formed the memories we made will never be erased. Once a Woman of Heart, Always a Woman of heart.

You know you were a SHA girl if you can relate to any of these classic moments :

  • You wore the classic SHA bun almost every day to school either with or without an obnoxious brightly colored bow attached to it and of course no makeup
  • It was a daily struggle to make it up the tower stairs
  • You got excited and yelled down the hall to your friends you just saw 10 minutes ago
  • You could not go anywhere without seeing a SHA girl and I mean anywhere
  • You were tight with the teacher clique aka Cownay, Loughren, Altruda, Grazz, Schreiner and Sheriffs.
  • Chaminade boys, can’t live with em, can’t live without em
  • Our sports were Lax and soccer and basically nothing else
  • You at one time in your 4 years had a crush on Altruda or Loughren or both
  • We have been officially creeped out by Debruin at least once
  • Red and Gold may have ruined your life and a couple friendships along the way but you loved it anyway and wouldn’t trade that experience for the world.
  • Your socks were never pulled up. Ever
  • Davids Cookies were the answer to every problem
  • Blazers were a blessing, not only did they keep you warm on those cold December mornings but they also kept your phone handy and out of view from the teachers.
  • Ms Hodeau caught you and wrote you up at least once for having your phone.
  • You heard the rumor about Mrs.Fodge getting run over by a boat but still to this day wonder if it’s true.
  • You were lied to about there being a pool on the 4th floor as a freshman and probably kept climbing the stairs passed the 3rd floor to go find it
  • Pre-gaming before senior-freshman day and walkathon was a tradition
  • Senior sunrise got the best of everyone
  • We all prayed for Fon Bon hall every morning even though we never found out who that really was
  • We sang our school song obnoxiously and with high pitched voices *IN VIBRANT TONES WE ECHO CLEAR… ADJACENT PAR MARIUM*
  • Even though at some point we may have said we hated SHA we all know deep down we loved it and there is a part of us that wishes we could go back.
  • Graduation left you an emotional wreck and as you walked down the hallway for the last time waving goodbye to your teachers you are forever thankful for SHA

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
