5 Things That Will Make You Feel Better About The Future
Kristen Rhodes

There is no doubt in my mind that we are beginning to lose hope in our country, the United State of America. Our confidence is running low but our determination is high. We are determined to help our country stay great. We are determined to not let hate become the ruler of our country. In the past year, we have seen exactly how much we are willing to do to keep our country great. Here are some of the ways we have and will continue to keep America great.

1. A majority of millennials, adults, and minorities voted for the democratic platform.

They voted for LGBTQ rights, feminism, minority rights, disability rights, the decision to choose what to do with your body and many more issues.

2. Just one day after the Inauguration of our 45th president, Donald Trump, historic numbers gathered for the Women's March on Washington.

This march occurred on all seven continents, in over 75 other countries and in every state in America. Nearly 5 million people gathered to march for women's rights, disability rights, and minority rights. It was a unified march with a feeling of love trumping hate.

3. More people now more than ever are becoming open minded to people different than them.

4. Women are gaining more leadership positions.

5. Different races and religions are coming together to protect muslims, hispanics, LGBTQ communities, minorities and so many more.

I have hope for the United States of America. We are not a doomed country just because of one mistake. As Kelly Clarkson says, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". These are words to live by in our current world.

Stay Woke America,

-Kristen

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.
