4 Reasons Why I Never Need A Prom Night
Kebin Young

Everyone loves prom! It's the best night of all time, but I have never experienced it. After my sophomore year of High School I decided to do online high school. Long story short it never worked out and I am currently getting my GED. I realized today I never even needed to go to prom.

1: I'm not the Dress, Heals, Girl

I like to dress up for church and other events but I never liked to wear dresses for that long. High heals go in the mud, so why would I wear them if I can't keep them clean? I'm the country girl that loves the outdoors!

2: I Can Not Dance

I do not know how to dance. Prom is a fancy dance for teenagers. It's funny that I wanted to go so bad and I do not even know how to dance!

3: I Wanted The Perfect Guy to Invite Me

Both years in high school I wanted a guy so bad to ask me to Homecoming or Prom. I guess God has different plans for me in life! I was never asked to go to prom by the "perfect guy", but I was asked by the guy of my dreams to marry him and spend our lives together! One year later I finally realized all the things in life I wanted or want I never needed. What I needed was right in Front of me the whole time.

4: Who I Really Am

Saturday was Benton' s prom night. My husband and I had went on a walk, and then went to Benton park. I was wearing workout clothes that I was always embarrassed to wear. I didn't know what others would think. Especially all the girls that alwaying thought they were better than me. Well Saturday evening my husband tried to teach me how to play tennis. I made a fool out of my self right in front of people taking prom pictures and I did not care because I was happy to be me in front of someone I love in public!

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.
