4 Reasons Why I'm Ready To Move On From High School
MAZ

1. Meet new people

This is my number one reason for being so excited to go away to college. At college, you rarely know people, and to be honest, that’s the best part. Starting new, with other people who are just as new to this whole thing as you. The friendships made in college last a lifetime, and I’m ready to make them.

2. Independence

The amount of freedom that comes with being a college freshman is counterbalanced with the amount of responsibility that weighs you down. Once again, it’s new, exciting, and different, but with this, more challenges arise. Whether you meet these challenges with grace and excellence or fear, and tears will determine how much you enjoy college.

3. New Opportunities

Not only do you meet new people, but if you go away to a school that is in another state, the amount of new opportunities around you is crazy. Learning to navigate a new city is always fun, and finding your own little niche in this city, even better. Be sure to find a new favorite non-chain coffee shop!

4. Greek Life

I really would like to join a sorority. Greek life and the social aspects that come with being a member seem so exciting. The process that pledges take including bid day, seem like a lot of fun, and more opportunities to meet gals that may become my bridesmaids down the line, friendships lasting forever.

What I’m not looking forward to:

Student debt. Need I say more?

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.
