30 is farther away than many of you may think it is. We need to all take the time to appreciate what is going on around us in the moment. Take in each and every thing that makes you happy, angers you, saddens you, or makes you indifferent because they are all experiences that you will later come to value as a part of your life story. Personally, these experiences are far and in between and I have made a promise to myself to take time out of each day, week, month and year to do something for me. Whether it be going somewhere, spending money on something, having an adventure or simply reading my favorite book while I soak in the outdoors, I have decided to fulfill a long list of bucket items before I am 30, and you should too, because there is plenty of time. So, here are 30 things that you should definitely do before you are 30!

1. Climb a mountain

2. Read your favorite book again

3. Go to a club

4. Visit the country you've been longing to

5. Take a class on your favorite dance, subject, etc.

6. Road trippppppp cross country

7. Plant a tree

8. Go internet free for a week

9. Buy a star

10. Experience a foreign country by yourself

11. Go to Hawaii

12. Go to an unusual performance (cirque de soliel?)

13. Start a journal

14. Do a photo shoot

15. Become a published writer

16. See your favorite band live

17. Learn a new language

18. Ask for a raise

19. Backpack through Europe

20. Take the entire weekend to yourself

21. Volunteer for a cause you really care about

22. Buy a new car

23. Participate in a flash mob

24. Dance more

25. Do something that scares you

26. Improve your alcohol knowledge (winery/brewery galore!)

27. Start a collection

28. Test your culinary skills

29. Get a tattoo

30. Run a race (whether it be a 5k, 10k or marathon)

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.
